- - Another sneak peek: Backup Notification with Growl! (https://www.shirt-pocket.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1335)

OK, this is what's wrong, macWish. The Growl function was built into SD! a number of releases ago. Please re-download a fresh copy of SuperDuper! and recreate your schedules without messing around with the template.

The built-in template should work fine with Growl...

Problems solved.
1. Growl function works with scheduled backup;
2. Sticky problem - had to go to Growl forum to learn that certain notification displays do not support Stickyness - bezel, the default display, does not support sticky!. So changed SD notifications to Plain display and now sticky works.

If Growl was built into SD! a number of releases ago, why no news of it prior to this Thread? Or did I miss something in update readme?

Back in June this was a sneak-peek into the next version of SD!, which was released some time ago... :)

My fault then for not checking this forum regularly. But since SD! was working so well, and always has, I didn't notice the date on the start of this thread.

If only Growl documentation were as good as SD!'s!!

Will it mess with the system?

I had never heard of Growl before this, so I know nothing about it. My main question is whether it is a hack that messes with the system files. OS 10.5, which is still pretty unstable anyway, seems to be very unstable whenever someone pokes under the hood. Unsanity's Application Enhancer apparently caused a lot of people a lot of problems. Will Growl do something like that? :confused:

Growl is a very simple application that doesn't "hack" at all.

An example of this is the default window, from which one can select the source and target, but from which cannot select scripts. Another example is the fact that you can tell SD to do something that is exactly the same thing as a pre-defined script, but you are not alerted to this fact. Taken together, these two user experiences mean that every time I use the app I have to re-read What's Going to Happen, making sure I am running my script; and I also have to re-confirm the choices. This is a waste of time and more significantly it introduces a possiblity of error. Error is not allowed.

So what you're really saying is you make the necessary settings you want and then save it calling, let's say, "My Backup" and it shows in the main window. That confirms you're using the exact same settings you used last time instead of going through every setting again to double check if it's right. Now that's an excellent idea. I'm all for that.

That's available in SuperDuper! already, patrickm...
