Description Blackketter Dean 2009-07-18 09:31:45 UTC

I see with my Growl that there is an update available and the System Preferences app launches, but doesn't open the SC pref pane or prompt me further for an update. running openprefs.scpt directly does do the right thing.

Running the script directly doesn't do the right thing: it wouldn't use Growl, would it?

It's currently either or. Open the pref pane (too intrusive for many), or display the Growl notification. But again: the Growl interface is too limited to allow for running some callback when it's clicked. (unless we write our own C based interface for perl). I think it's been on their todo list forever, but not yet implemented.

Wait, I'm confused.  What I'm seeing is that the Growl notification comes up and the System Preferences launch.  But the Squeezebox pane does not open.  Is this what you expect?

So am I if what you say is true :-)

Look at the signalupdate.scpt: it's either or. If the prefs popped up, then it must have been caused by something else.

The script would tell OSX to open the Squeezebox pane. AFAIK it's not telling it to load the prefs pane, then open the SB pane. I'd therefore be surprised if the prefs were opened, but not the SB pane.

> Is this what you expect?

No.

Dean - I'm going to close this as "wontfix", as there's currently no way to launch the prefpane from the Growl notification. If this isn't good enough we might want to give up on Growl or use some other means of notification. Feel free to (re-)open a new (this) bug if needed.
