Actually, re-looking at this, maybe that is what Chuck is talking about. Think I was confused because it was in the IMP queue (probably because it was added when Growl was exclusive to dimp).

This seems very platform/software specific to me. Especially since Growl is apparently no longer free software. I can't say anything on Growl, but generally a better integration with the desktop is a worthwhile goal, especially with our Ajax GUIs looking more like desktop apps anyway. I agree with this. But this goal should/cannot be accomplished by hardcoding application specific parameters into general purpose javascript code. That is what I do not agree with. If we wanted to setup some sort of Event firing/listening system (similar to prototypejs), that would be nifty. But that is not what this ticket is about.

This seems very platform/software specific to me. Especially since Growl is apparently no longer free software. I would rather see improvements with our notification system instead. Or a growl interface to the notification system. But this should not be hardcoded in. I would also like to see the references to 'window.fluid' removed from IMP's code. Again - extremely software specific. We should not be including hacks like this in the base code.

In addition to the fluid dock badge numbers, we should be able to show growl notifications now that we have them: window.fluid.showGrowlNotification({ title: "title", description: "description", priority: 1, sticky: false, identifier: "foo", onclick: callbackFunc, icon: imgEl // or URL string }) http://www.fluidapp.com/developer/ This could even replace the in-browser js notifications if growl is available.
