After the 1.3.2 update, Growl no longer works. It is running, but nothing can talk to it (no notifications), and the growl settings window is empty except for the first page (start on login, etc).
Here's everything it outputs into the logs:

I think something might be a little wonky with the 1.3.2 release. It's
been consistently crashing for me, too - first crashes I've had from
the 1.3.x branch.
This morning I woke up to find it had crashed on the Rollup
notification, spinning beach ball and all.
Is there any way to revert to 1.3.1?

Do you have any custom growl styles/plugins installed? It looks like a display plugin failed to load properly.

Zac - no. This was a completely fresh install of growl, after uninstalling it, removing the preferences files, and the application data folders.
Initially I did the update from growl 1.3.1, but after it stopped working on 1.3.2, I blew everything away to see if that was the issue.

Do you see any notifications before it crashes? Can you hit preview on them in the pane?

No, as stated above, the 'pane' is empty except for the options of when to start growl (first screen). There aren't even any icons on the pane to navigate the settings. Also, no notifications occur (as stated above)

It really looks like a bad plugin.
In Finder can you the Go menu and select "Go to Folder…" and paste this in:
~/Library/Application Support/Growl/Plugins/
If the folder exists, which plugins do you see there? One of these may be causing a problem possibly. This folder doesn't get deleted if you remove Growl normally.
If the folder doesn't exist, can you send the list of plugins you see in: /Applications/Growl.app/Contents/PlugIns/

I looked at the code again. It appears that it can't read an author's name from one of the plugins and the public bundle doesn't include one. It's able to read the plugin's name but not the author oddly. Not sure which plugin it's failing on though.
There is a good chance that there is some other random bundle is being picked up as a Growl plugin as well.
I'm putting code into protect against that case for next major release.
I'm curious though. Your directory dates are set to Nov 28 for your growl plugins.
Can you run this and send me back what it says?
find /Applications/Growl.app/Contents/PlugIns -type f -name 'Info.plist' -exec echo \{\} \; -exec defaults read \{\} CFBundleVersion \; -exec defaults read \{\} GrowlPluginAuthor \;

I attached the output from that command to the attached pdata.txt file.
The directory dates are whatever they are set to during installation... not sure why they are like they are. I can confirm that the path /Applications/Growl.app/ was gone when I uninstalled it.

Try removing the Whiteboard and Darkroom displays. They were added in 1.3.2. I tested them and they seemed to work fine, but that'd rule out something new cropping up for those two.

That did it!
rm -rf /Applications/Growl.app/Contents/PlugIns/Whiteboard.growlStyle/ /Applications/Grow.app/Contents/PlugIns/Darkroom.growlStyle/
No more errors on startup, and the settings panel is back to normal functionality.

I'll dig through them and see if I can figure it out. If so this sounds like it'll require a quick 1.3.3 to resolve. Thanks for checking so quickly. :)

Hi Josh,
Do you have your hard drive formatted with case sensitivity enabled?
You can test by running this:
diskutil info / | grep "Name (User Visible)"
If you see "Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled) " your file system is case-senstive.
We missed a file that will fail to load on case sensitive file systems in those plugins. Since nearly everyone runs with a case-insenstaive file system (since it's the default) we didn't catch the issue.
