Individual application 'Display' option

[handtwist]

Love this app. One issue:

In the Applications Tab of the Growl preferences I can't set the 'Display' to 'Log' since version 0.7. I could do this in previous versions but now it seems that I have to set all apps to 'Log only, don't display' when I only want 1 app to do this and the rest to display notifications as normal.

btw I'm using beta 0.7.1

This screenshot shows what I mean. The 'Log' option is missing. Does anyone now if it will be put back?

Thanks

I just downloaded the latest beta and there is still no Log option for individual apps.

Is it gone for good????

It made more sense to log everything.

[handtwist]

Can't we have both options?

I would like to have some apps write to the log and not display a notification whilst others display as normal.

Not with .7.2, but I want to have displays and non-display functionality separated out for .8 or .9

So a little insight into how development tends to work:

13:03 < CoolMoDee> interesting
13:05 < CoolMoDee> odd
13:05 < CoolMoDee> so basicly
13:05 < CoolMoDee> he wants "log" display
13:06 < CoolMoDee> if I am understanding that correctly
13:07 < The_Tick> CoolMoDee: he really wants to log only certain applications
13:07 < The_Tick> now that we have logging in its own tab
13:07 < The_Tick> we could have this
13:07 < The_Tick> [table] (buttons) [table]
13:07 < The_Tick> and list which apps to log on the left
13:07 < CoolMoDee> should be easy enough..
13:07 < The_Tick> and which to not log on the right
13:07 < CoolMoDee> yea


I think that would work better than putting it in the displays, thoughts?

If I understand this correctly then you are talking about changing the 'Enable logging' option under the 'General' tab so that I can select specific applications to log.

What about turning off the display options for those apps?

Specifically I want GrowTunes to write to the log but I don't want it to display a notification.

Also what if I wanted to GrowlTunes to write to the log when a track changes but display a notification when itunes starts playing (this is theoretical, I can't see a good reason at the moment for doing this)?

This would all be possible if 'Log' was included as a Display option. Maybe you could even include Log in the 'Display Options' tab so that the Log output is customizable??

Just a few thoughts......I appreciate your time

The problem is that for the majority of our users, the current functionality makes more sense. With .8 we've created a logging tab, taking it out of the general tab altogether.

[handtwist]

Yes I do understand that.

Its jus that from my point of view I lost some functionality when I upgraded to .7.

Anyway I'll wait for .8

Keep up the good work.
