Growl - An event notification system
Authored by: ptone on Sep 26, '07 11:57:42AM

To me Growl is only half of what it should be. It does this great job of flowing notifications from applications to Growl, but they end there.

There are no hooks, no way to register a custom action, application, or script to received some signal when a notification occurs.

I want to be able to have growl send an Apple event with the notifier, and notification to a custom applescript that does something in response to the Growl notifications.

That would make Growl twice as awsome as it is.

Wouldn't it be great if dismissing a notification generated an Apple Event you could capture in an AppleScript that generated it? Even if the GrowlHelperApp would return a status: 1 if dismissed, 0 if timed out.
