Ciao a tutti,
ho appena installato Growl 1.2 su Snow Leopard perchè ero curioso di vedere come funzionava.
Finita l'installazione però mi trovo in Growl la lista delle applicazioni vuota (o meglio l'unica che vedo è GrowlMenu).
Ho provato a riavviare ma non è cambiato nulla. Ho anche installato di nuovo Growl ma nulla di nuovo.
Mi dite dove sbaglio.
Grazie 1000 in anticipo.
Ciao.

Applications tab.
If you click on the Applications tab, it may be empty. You will need to register some applications first.

Growl is what we like to refer to as a tool for other applications. Now, we don't want to include a list of all of the possible applications in the default installation, because you probably will not be using them all. We also don't know if you would want to even use the applications we have made as examples. So with the default installation of Growl, the applications tab is meant to be empty.

Have no fear. Soon it should fill up with whatever Growl enabled applications that you may have (see here for a list).
When a Growl enabled application tries to talk to Growl, it does something called Registration. It registers with Growl so that Growl knows what notifications it may send out (so that Growl can list them in its preferences). This is true for scripts as well, anything from AppleScript to Tcl will register.

For the most part, all you will have to do is just launch the application. There are some exceptions. Some applications use filters or rules or whatever was chosen to allow their users control over the whole process within their application as well. If the application you want to use with Growl does not show up in the Applications tab after launching it, look in preferences. If you still don't see it, you can email us at the discuss list and we can look into the problem.
