What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install Thunderbird add-on, restart Thunderbird.
2. Confirm Thunderbird registered then remove Thunderbird as registered
application from Growl.
3. Re-start Thunderbird.
4. Repeat if neccessary.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected No error.
Result Microsoft .NET Framework error.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
GROWL v2.0b11
Windows 7 x64

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
If there are many notifications (e.g. via the outlook plugin) most of the 
displays are fading the notifications out too fast. It is often difficult 
to read all notifications before they are removed.
Maybe the Display Interface in the SDK can be updated, so all new display 
versions have to support a setting specifing the amount of time a 
notification has to be visible before it is removed.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
All growl displays, especially Frozencow's translucentdark Display 1.7 in 
conjunction with the outlook plugin.

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Subscribe to a feed (http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot for e.g.)  
from "Network" tab > (+) > "Subscribe to an RSS or Atom Feed"
2. Enable an idle timeout in "General" tab
3. Leave your computer idle for the timeout until a missed notification window 
comes up
4. Click or double click a feed entry

Expected output: Clicking or double clicking the missed feed item should open 
the article in the browser, like when we click a live feed notification.

Actual output: Nothing happens when I click or double click. Non-intuitive 
behavior

Growl for Windows v2.0.6 (build 2.0.6.1), on Windows 7 x64

Thanks
~cmdr2

The current javascript library does not allows to customize the swf path.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Installed GROWL for Windows using setup.exe on Vista Ultimate 32bit
2. Tested each of the Displays in the Settings > Display Options

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
When clicking on a display option and then clicking "Preview" I should see 
a preview of that Display Option. Instead, with each of the items that says 
"Displays notifications using an HTML rendering engine" I receive no 
indication of that item working at all.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I'm using version 1.2.1 build 1.2.3199.27034 on Window Vista Ultimate 32bit

Please provide any additional information below.
I'm guessing that web-kit is not properly being called for building the 
display. I've seen mentions of problems with the wrapper not being 
initialized properly,... but not seeing any indicator anywhere (so far at 
least) on what to do to fix that problem.

Cheers,
Andrew

-- What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Run Growl
2. Run COD4:MW
3. Get a notification to come up somehow when you are in a game (I happened
to have Songbird song change notifications on)

-- What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Show the Growl notification correctly, or show nothing at all.

-- What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

2.0b15
Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600)

-- Please provide any additional information below.

I know an easy workaround... don't run both at once. But I'd _like_ to, so
I'm just reporting _my_ use case. Another option that might be universal
for people playing different games would be to add an option to Growl to
disable notifications while certain applications are running...

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Send a lot of notifications as a high rate of speed. (created a log4net
appender to growl bridge)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect the user would get annoyed and mute some of the notifications.
Instead growl sends back error responses to the application and crashes on
the user end:

User gets exception window:

System.InvalidOperationException: Object is currently in use elsewhere.
   at System.Drawing.Image.get_Width()
   at System.Drawing.Image.get_Size()

I was debug code. And found cause of problem.
Cause of problem is that description length that stored in
NotificationPacket is unmatched.
So recieved data was corrupted.

I fixed code. Please see attached code.

um i downloaded the source for this but everytime i try to build it it ask me 
for a password? how do i fix this?

Isn't there a guide on how to integrate growl into a c++ application?
I've compiled the gntp-send source from github and I've got 

bin/
    gntp-send.exe
    gntp-send++.exe
lib/
    growl.dll
    growl++.dll
    libgrowl.dll
    libgrowl.exp
    libgrowl++.dll
    libgrowl++.exp
obj/
    gntp-send.obj
    gntp-send++.obj
    growl.obj
    growl++.obj
    md5.obj
    tcp.obj


I don't know which files I have to import to my project in order to use the c++ 
functions such as:

Growl *grow = new Growl( protocol , password , appname , notifications , 
notifications_count );
growl→Notify( notification1 , title , message );
growl→Notify( notification2 , title , message );

Also there is no information about what protocol, password, notifications and 
notifications_count are.

Could you please help me?
Thank you!

I would love to incorporate this into some of my rails apps, just one
question though, can you point me to some API documentation, seems cool,
just need some docs I can look over to interface with the apis themselfs

"(also note that i have an uncommitted change in place that exposes Growl 
for Windows via Bonjour so Mac clients can see them)"

Is there an ETA in place for that ?

[deleted issue]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start Growl.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect that the splash/loading screen will go away once the program is
done loading.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
2.0.0.25

Please provide any additional information below.
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run PhonyBalloony
2. Run Miranda-IM

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Miranda-IM System Tray Status Icon should appear.  It does not appear as 
expected.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Using latest PhonyBallony as of 1 Sept 2010, Windows XP Pro
Latest stable release of Miranda IM (0.9.2)

Please provide any additional information below.
Unsure what else would be useful

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run growl.exe
2. Run visual studio growl plugin
3. Do a few builds to force growl to show a notification
4. Do a netstat or use tcpview to view half-open sockets


Observe that growl.exe is holding on to CLOSE_WAIT sockets

I am using growl for windows V2.0 (build 2.0.0.25) on windows xp service pack 3

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run gfw2rdst.exe on 64-bit Vista or 7.
2. It says that the bootstrapper successfully installed, but it doesn't.
3. Open VS08 and open the Properties for your installation project
4. Go to Prerequisites..., and notice GfW isn't there.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
-- I expected to see the option to select GfW as a prerequisite, but it
wasn't available to select.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Windows Vista Business 64-bit
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit

Please provide any additional information below.
After reviewing the registry, the GenericBootstrapper key is actually
located under the Wow3264Node key on 64-bit machines.

Here's a link for the current bootstrapper installer:
http://www.growlforwindows.com/gfw/d.ashx?f=gfw2rdst.exe

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start Growl.
2. Start GNU Emacs.
3. Type Alt-X.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected Emacs to show "M-x " in its minibuffer.  Instead, it shows nothing 
in its minibuffer.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I'm using Growl for Windows v2.0.9 on Windows XP.

Please provide any additional information below.
This is important to me because Alt-X is used to enter extended commands.  I'd 
like a way to prevent Growl from capturing Alt-X or pass it through to GNU 
Emacs when no notification is displayed.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install the Growl-Outlook-Addin on a german Outlook 2007 
2. The Addin fails to start, the "Addin tasks" doesn't show and the plugin 
won't register with the growl service.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
A message "outlook registered" and growl notifications on incomming mails.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Growl 2.0.1, AddIn from the growl for windows homepage.

Please provide any additional information below.
I compiled the Addin (revision 116)in VS2008 and got it fixed eventually: 
it now starts with Outlook2007 and registers / notifies properly. 
It seems that this throws an out of range exception:
_helpMenuIndex = _menuBar.Controls[MENU_BEFORE].Index; 
So I changed it to _helpMenuIndex = _menuBar.Controls.Count; which 
effectively puts the menue item before the Help entry.
I would have committed a patch but since I had to compile in VS2008, there 
are other changes in the project, not only in the partial class 
ThisApplication. 

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Modify the test app to send notifications to a mac or windows growl server. 
Run the test app with mono on a unix system

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Should see notifications, but no notifications show up.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

trunk
mono
Linux and Mac

Please provide any additional information below.

GNTP requires "\r\n" as line endings, but the MessageBuilder is using 
Environment.Newline to add line endings. On Unix systems, this will be "\n", 
which is incorrect. The following diff fixes the bug:

Hi
I'm trying to forward growl notifications via XMPP protocol. 
To do this, I need to serialize Notification object. One way is to use JSON 
Serializer, but .NET serializer needs to object using empty constructor and 
Notification class doesn't have such one. The second way is to use i.e. 
BinaryFormatter but Notification class is not marked as Serializable.

So: mark Notification (Application and NotificationType also) classes as 
Serializable or create empty constructor for this class or allow setting all 
attributes (including MachineName and so on). Last thing should be done on 
ExtensibleObject level.

The "while you were away" dialog appears sporadically. For example, when Pidgin 
is in the background and I get a message, the "while you were away" dialog pops 
up with the message. This is undesirable because I can read the message in the 
message window even when it isn't in focus.

This could be a plugin-specific issue, but it'd be nice if I could turn off the 
"while you were away" dialog all together.

Hi,
it's possible to run Growl without systray icon ?

Are there plans to support Outlook 2010?  It worked fine when I was on 2007, 
but now that I have upgraded, I get no alerts.

How about a really nice polished UI that is totally in sync with the Windows 
Aero theme? The current UI seems a long way off from any Windows application.

Thanks.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Growl configured with visor display, outlook 2007 extension
2. I close the lid of my laptop, which puts my machine to sleep mode
3. When I re-login, Growl crashes with 
First-chance exception at 0x053d70bb in Growl.exe: 0xC0000005: Access
violation reading location 0x00000000 (in my debugger visual studio 2008)


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Vista x64 sp1, Growl for Windows 2.0b9

The connector library you ship with 2.0b19 seems to be 32bit-only.
If i remove all optimizations for 32bit it works again on 64bit CPUs/OS.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install an older version of Growl for Windows
2. Register some applications and add some passwords
3. Upgrade to the latest version
4. Registered applications and passwords are lost

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Registered applications and passwords should remain after upgrade.

What version of the product are you using?
Growl 2.0.0.6 -> 2.0.0.7

Repro:
1. Miss a notification that has a URL callback
2. Click on it

Expected: 
Uses URL callback to open browser.

Current behavior:
Nothing. Just highlights the notification.

Version: 2.0
OS: XP SP2

Comment:
I understand callbacks in missed notifications doesn't make sense because 
of active sockets. URL callbacks do make sense because they do not maintain 
a socket connection to the application.

I know it's a little early to be thinking of Windows 8 Metro support but I 
think it would be awesome to have Growl able to integrate with the Windows 8 
Notification System.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Move windows taskbar to top of screen.
2. Get some notifications to show

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Notifications should show up properly, but instead they appear on top of 
each other.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Growl v2.0b6, CompactDark 2.0.1.1, Windows Vista SP1.

What is the deal with the Growl.CoreLibrary.pfx? Can not build the project 
without a  password. Is that by design?

What steps will reproduce the problem?

I have picked the Twitter Display to illustrate the issue.

1. Extract and copy version 1 into your pc's app data display folder
2. Restart Growl
3. Navigate to "http://mageuzi.com/trowl/#displays" and click on the "Click 
Here to Install" link to install version 1.2
4. Growl displays the "Display 'Twitter Display' is already installed message

Even though the links destination file 
"http://mageuzi.com/trowl/twitterdisplay.xml" quite clearly has a new version.

It seems that the only way to upgrade a display version is to download the zip 
files seperately and copy them into your app data folder...

Operating system: Windows 7

Expected Output: Growl should download the new display version and replace the 
current display version.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. "Misconfigure" Growl to show all tracemessages
2. Send a LOT of notifications in seconds
3. they should be displayed very slowly


What is the expected output?
Well - growl does what it should do - it displays them one by one. But my PC 
was not responding to anything (except mouse-moving) for minutes. I had to kill 
the growl-process.  

What do you see instead?
I like the feature of the "away"-notifications (summary). Would it be able to 
use the same display-function in the case of a spamming application? Maybe with 
an option like "Display more than X notifications as summary..."?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Growl 2.0.4.1, WinXP SP3

Please provide any additional information below.

Hi,

i was just wondering, if there is simple way to build Growl without 
daemon/listener, without any dialogs etc.

I'd like to have Growl balloons in only one DLL (the DLL should have skin built 
in) to have it working, whether the Growl is installed or not, in my app. Is 
there any chance to make this simple?

Hope you'll understand what I tried to say :)

Michal

I would like to be notified as soon as a project build fails but ignore 
successes.

I have attached a patch that adds options to notify on project and solution 
success and failure.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. The Documentation states that Growl for Windows v2.0 does not yet 
support socket reuse. 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I am particular interested in a Subscribe mechanism, using the specified 
subscribe message and subscribe from a client to the growl server which 
then notifies via this already existing socket. So the client is able to 
be notified by the growl service even if the client is behind a NAT router.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
growl-for-windows 2.01
Please provide any additional information below.

Can someone explains me how to use it in flash? I've got swc lib, next i'm 
creating connector:

var g:GrowlAIRConnector = new GrowlAIRConnector(here's i should enter host 
and port, but where i can take it???)

var app:Object = new Object();
app.name = "My app's name";
app.icon = "path to the icon";

var notificationTypes = new Array();
var nt1 = new Object();
nt1.name = "NT1";
nt1.displayName = "Example Notification One";
nt1.enabled = true;
notificationTypes.push(nt1);

g.register(app, notificationType);

after all I don't see my app in Growl's application list

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install growl for windows 2.0.9.1, pidgin 2.10.0 on Windows 7
2. Receive a message containing <angle brackets /> 
3. Notification message shown by growl is blank.

I expect the angle brackets to be shown in the notification, and they're not. I 
assume there's an escaping problem.

I don't know if the problem extends to other products, versions of software, or 
versions of the operating system. 

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Set a password in the security tab
2. Restart
3. Go back to the security tab

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The password should be still there, however, it has disappeared.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
v2.0b20, Windows XP

Please provide any additional information below.

During installation on Windows 7 x64, Growl for Windows 2.0.6.1 throws an error 
"Could not create key: 
HKEY_USERS32\S-1-5-21-4220703842-3955432285-3059779225-1000\Software\Classes"

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Restart computer with really slow hard disk and lots of background IO
activity.
2. Wait for Growl to auto-start with windows.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected Growl to load.
Instead get stacktrace:
Growl.GrowlException: The default display was not found. It is suggested
that Growl be re-installed to restore any missing files.

Please provide any additional information below.
Not sure this will repeat reliably; probably some sort of timing issue.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go to Network tab
2. Add forward notifications
3. Choose Forward to email account
4. Whatever you choose as smtpserver it will store 127.0.0.1. Impossible to 
change.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
smtpserver.com is expected, 127.0.0.1 is stored

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
2.0.4 Growl for windows on Windows7

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Choose any of the displays (Standard, Smokestack, Visor, etc).
2. Send a notification (using sample app) with the following notification text:
"Build Failure detected. Result at http://www.buildresults.com=build123. 
Why is this being truncated?  Why is this being truncated?"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Depending on the display used, you will see unusual line breaks.  Some will
have a single character (e.g. "b") on a line.  History view shows the
correct text, so I assume this is a bug in the expanding label code.

GfW should be able to display notifications not only on the primary screen
but also on any active secondary screens connected to the computer.
For consistency, this functionality should be exposed in the "Displays"
tab, for example via a drop down select box. Ideally, there would also be
an option to invoke Windows' native display identification function.

The current javascript connector only runs with swfobject 1.5 or 1.6.
