Help with EventGhost + Growl

Post by StgRawrface »

First post yay! Haha my question is about using Growl for windows. Specifically growlnotify.exe. I searched the forum but couldn't find anything about it? I'm using a program called M.V.C. as like a personal assistant, and only yesterday got it working with EventGhost, and now I'd like to use EventGhost to send notifications, successful messages, ect to Growl so I can have a more visual confirmation for things, but the growlnotify.exe won't work in EventGhost.

I add an action for starting an application, point it to growlnotify.exe, and add in the arguments, and it doesn't do anything, however M.V.C. I noticed does allow me to use growlnotify.exe just fine. Is it something I'm not understanding I have to do with it? Or just not possible?

Website for M.V.C.: http://mega-voice-command.com/

Thanks! -StgRawrface

In your post is no mention of the Growl plugin.
That you do not use?

Note:
I know nothing about growlnotify.exe.

Growlnotify.exe is something built alongside growl that allows external use of growl by command line.

I tried to install the plugin but I guess it wasn't in the correct directory (even though it was a plugin folder)?

I think it is absolutely unnecessary to deal with the problem of "how to use the program growlnotify.exe in EventGhost."
It can never be as comfortable as plugin (designated for that purpose).

Growl plugin belong to the same subfolder as all the other plugins (ie "plugins").
Please use the latest version (0.0.3).
