Result from dismissing sticky notification

Post by bellac »

It would be a huge boost to the utility of Growl notifications from AppleScripts if "notify with name...." returned a boolean result when a sticky notification was dismissed (clicked).

Is there any hope of that?

It would be better if our AppleScript support handed clickbacks, which has been discussed. Wouldn't this also need to be asynchronous instead of blocking on return?

Asynchronous is the only way to go, yes, because with blocking there is no advantage over a dialog or alert (except appearance).

Having said that, there are times when blocking behavior is exactly what you want (but you'd still prefer Growl's appearance), so in a perfect world the notification would have a "blocking" property that defaulted to false, i.e. ... with sticky and blocking would make the script wait.
