hello to whoever is helping. my question is....is there a history or
log page that documents all of my growl notifications? if so, where
can i go to view them. btw, growl is a great tool.

thank you in advance for your attention to this matter.

There's a hidden pref controlling whether Growl will log
notifications to a file; by default, this pref is off. We have a
couple of scripts to toggle it:

EnableDisableLogging.zip?gda=wvtpWU8AAADFugTN6rPCawTArMiIzv-

iGqDNT4ypmN7IiDooMyQEFzyq7pLO-q6w>

The default location of the log is the Logs folder in the Library
folder in your Home folder. There's another pref to change that, but
I can't think of a reason to (unless your startup disk is already low
on disk space and you want to log to some external device).

Speaking of disk space: Growl doesn't rotate the log; it will grow
indefinitely. Once you've learned whatever you want to learn from it,
you'll want to throw it away in order to save disk space.

Thanks. ☺

Are there plans to include a native feature of this sort in the UI? Even tracking the last 30 days would be nice. It's been more than once that a notification has appeared and faded, and I've just glanced at it as it was disappearing, but I could tell from either one word or an icon that it was actually something relevant that I wanted to see.

btw. growl is a great tool.

1.3 will have logging and better handling of notifications when idle.
