Disable Growl pop-up notifications via AppleScript
Dec 04, '08 07:30:01AM • Contributed by: Anonymous
This happens to my friends and I all the time ... you're giving a presentation, watching a movie, or whatever, and the Growl notifier starts popping up with your gChat messages or messages from GMail. I finally wrote an AppleScript to easily toggle the two notifiers for such circumstances; I hope this is helpful for others! Here's the script:

Or even better: Click the Growl icon on the menu bar and select "Stop Growl".

This is cool. I'd be more interested in some kind of app or script that suppresses Growl notifications only when a specific app is in the foreground, such as PowerPoint or Keynote. Just so it would be automatic. Even better, but probably tougher, is if it could suppress when the foreground app is in full screen mode.

I’m trying to get this to work, unfortunately I get a "connection invalid" error…
I modified the script since I just want to turn Growl on/off, I don’t have any google notifier:
These “register as” lines, are they really necessary? I mean, after the first run, the application “Growl Toggle” is registered, and it shouldn’t be necessary for all other runs of the script, should it?
