Camino can Growl
Earlier this evening I checked in Ilya Sherman’s patch to enable Growl notifications for downloads in Camino. It’s been four months since Ilya first appeared on irc asking about reviving Ben Willmore’s old patch, but beginning with January 27’s 2.0b2pre nightly, Growl users will be greeted with notifications when downloads begin and end in Camino. (We’ve gotten several other good patches out of Ilya in the meantime.)
Thanks to Ben Willmore for starting the process off with his patch in October 2006, and especially to Ilya for seeing it through to completion.

I am confused a little by this, only cause prior to the nightly you mentioned Growl for download has worked for me. The only downside is the Camino Preferences shows Growl as a Arrow to the right, which I have to click in order to see the Growl Preference. What should be new?

This one’s been a looong time coming. I’m glad we were finally able to whip it into shape. Say congrats to Ilya for me.

Nevermind, I discovered that I had a growl preference pain that started to double up the notifications of download started/complete. I removed the growl preferences pain and now with the built in growl feature that you mentioned above I no longer need the preferences pain to use growl.

stephen: As you’ve discovered, anyone with the the third-party preference pane (and its associated InputManager) GrowlCamino installed will probably want to remove it.
froodian: Will do! Hope to see you again soon.
