Feature request: disable if one of these apps are running

Hi!

I do have to problem that growl notifications cause display problems with various applications such as EyeTV or VLC in fullscreen mode.

So I'd like to see a feature which looks like this:

"Disable notifications a long as one of following applications are running: (list of applications which can be chosen by the user)"

Thank you!

If you activate the growl menu icon, you can turn off growl from the menubar. It's not perfect but it's a good start.

This would be very useful, particularly when watching EyeTV in fullscreen. I would certainly utilise this feature!

I don't know that this level of fine-grain control will be added but Growl 1.1 will include an option to hide/suppress all Growl notifications, which will functionally address this request.

No general hiding please

"Stop Growl" is not exactly what I ment. I already use the "Stop Growl" or "Hide Notification". What I want is _only_ disable _automatically_ Growl notification _if_ one of a certain group of applications is running. I dont want to activate it by hand everytime I start application x, y, or z.

I can see this being useful, but we're not going to put it into the timeline until at least 1.1 is released.
