Re: Prowl 1.2 is now available

I will update the 'from' to use the header once I get home from work today. I had a feeling there was an issue here but I wasn't able to reproduce it myself. I agree, too many flags would complicate things a bit. I don't want to limit the amount of text by default, simply because anything I write wi...

Re: Prowl 1.2 is now available

Is the 'From' address, as displayed in an email client, different than the one displaying in Prowl? Prowl is using the one the mail server is reporting, not the one found in the email's headers. If that's really how it's displaying, I'll update the server to use the 'From'. Mail from both my work ac...

Re: Prowl 1.2 is now available

Let me first say I am VERY happy with the update to both the service functions such as the url add email features, and the new app features for redirect and background mode. My two problems howerver are: Look and feel: - Everything is just TOO big regardless of font size... I just can't read multip...

Re: I would be so happy about an ipad-version of prowl ...

Not too bad looking. However, I want to do something super custom for the iPad. I've got some mockups I just need to implement them, and I think people will be pretty happy.

Perhaps for the next release I'll do a semi-iPad release like the above, before getting a full blown version done.

Re: Launchable Application List Requests

Sounds like 2Prowl, that's not an error that Prowl generates. I emailed the 2Prowl author shortly before the latest version of Prowl was released, updating him about the new 'url' parameter in the API (to have Prowl automatically redirect to the URL being passed) so I imagine he's cooking up a new v...

Re: Prowlmail

Moved the API key the message was sent to, to the end of the subject, and only show the first 6 characters. The chances of the hash colliding in the first 6 characters is pretty low, especially for the same user, the odds are pretty strong against it. So, it's much cleaner. This can also let you set...

Re: Prowl 1.2 is now available

I did try the smallest size. The header text is bigger than the body text. It does seem like there's a lot of extra room in the header. I think it's the shadow space playing badly to the eyes. I'll see what I can do with the shadow outside, it may be helpful. http://testflightapp.com/join/fd199fabf...

Re: Prowl 1.2 is now available

I love the new look! The only thing missing from this app now is the ability to use custom sounds. Last time I had to mod the .ipa file and change the sound file. Yeah :( I wish this were possible. Unfortunately Apple won't let the push system play sounds that aren't inside the application bundle. ...

Re: Prowl 1.2 is now available

I'll see if I can't play and find a healthy medium. I do want to make the landscape layout shove them both on the same line. Have you tried the smallest font size? Honestly on the iPhone 4 it looks too big still, which may be an issue too.

Re: Prowl 1.2 is now available

They're all 2 lines; the earlier versions had major problems with not being able to see the full application name or notification name, and I didn't really like the idea of trying to sometimes mash them onto the same line - I wanted consistency in position. You can try lowering the font size, and I'...

Re: Prowl 1.2 is now available

Prowl is Prowl. I can't underestimate how valuable it is in it's design and flexibility. Don't let me dissuade you that there's something wrong with the app overall. But let's talk looks. This diagonal gradient in the header? It's odd, and awkward. Basically, because of it's design, the header (App...

Re: Feature Request: Repeat notification sounds

I have been thinking about this the past few days; my inclination is for it to be able to repeat up to once every 10 minutes for up to 5 hours, or something like that. Limit it enough but not too much..

Re: Login message: "Growl was unable to bind the socket"

Hmm, I don't think so. If your goal is to get notifications over to Prowl, how about trying the public API?

Re: Login message: "Growl was unable to bind the socket"

Sounds like you have multiple copies of Growl running in the background. Can you try restarting your Mac?

It's also possible that GrowlHelperApp is running on both user accounts, and both are trying to "listen" for remote notifications. Check the 'network' tab of Growl.

Re: Next update

It is not yet possible to change the size of the text, but the font size is a bit more roomier for most things. The old version would have been very difficult to increase text size because of the way I wrote the old stuff. I will see if I can make it a preference in the next release, because it is m...
