Growl 1.3 - no alerts
Growl has been upgraded to a full-fledged application sold ($1.99 and well worth it, in my opinion) in the Mac's App Store. The old pref pane is now gone - removal is required as part of the installation process - and the new application has several more features.
Sadly, though, the new version does not appear to be compatible with the latest version of SD. It would be very much appreciated if the good folks at Shirt Pocket could make the appropriate changes to SD so that Growl 1.3 would function with it. SD, it should be said, is my #1 indispensable application - no matter how much convenience is offered by others the security of knowing that I've got a complete, accurate, usable backup available at any time makes it the only aftermarket application that I truly wouldn't live without. Thanks, as always, for the great work. |

It's unfortunate that Growl has broken compatibility in the latest update. I recommend not using the new version until we get a chance to investigate what might be wrong. I can't promise any timeframe for a fix.

Ditto that - we always appreciate the efforts of Dave & Co.
Unfortunately sticking with the earlier/pref pane version isn't an option for me as so many other alerts broke in Lion (starting to regret leaving Snow Leopard for lots of reasons including this one). Thankfully SD is so reliable that I can trust it to run and will simply change the final result from "Quit SuperDuper!" to nothing so that I can see the application showing "OK" when I get to my desk in the morning after it runs at 4:00 AM. |

Fix for me
I had the same problems with SuperDuper notifications. Deleting the two Growl .plists in Library, Preferences solved the problem on my machine.
com.Growl.GrowlHelperApp.plist com.Growl.GrowlHelperApp.plist.lockfile |

I fixed mine by replacing the Growl Framework in SuperDuper with the Growl SDK 1.2.2 framework. I now get alerts as I did before.

Joel...
How exactly does one do that? While I'd still like to here's what you did, Joel, and why, I'd also like to mention that I tried Airbusky's approach and that fixed the problem for me. Last edited by rwross; 10-07-2011 at 04:57 PM. |

Download the 1.2.2 SDK from the Growl Info site right click and select "Show Package Contents" look for the Frameworks folder and copy the Growl Framework to a safe place. Next go to applications folder then right click on the SuperDuper app and perform the same routine as above, but replace the framework with the one from the SDK. So far it works for all manual backups, I am going to test it for scheduled backups tonight.

Note that scheduled copies use apple events, which you'd think would be compatible in the new version, but may not be...

You are correct there were no Growl output from the scheduled backups. I hope this isn't a big thing to fix!

At some level, the question is why did they break it?

As I understand is that 1.3 is no longer a preference Pane and does not use the Growlhelper.app. And Apple does not allow preference panes in the app store.
