µGrowl update
by Vaelek on Jul.21, 2009, under Applications, uGrowl
Well folks, we’re up to 0.9.3 Beta. This time I’ve managed to get in a bit more testing before releasing to the wild and I think I have all of the issues to date licked here. The problem with the threshold notifications came down to a rounding error. You may have also noticed that no matter if monitor at launch was checked or not, it did not how you say, monitor at launch. This has also been fixed. I did not add any features in this as I just wanted to get all of the quirks worked out of the existing features first. So as long as nothing big pops up here, I should be able to start adding things shortly. So, if there’s anything you want µGrowl to do, now would be a good time to make yourself heard.
*Update* Shortly after posting the new release, I noticed one fatal flaw. The checkbox for monitoring was indeed checked at startup if it was supposed to be, however the monitoring was not actually started! Only a few people downloaded it during that window so to you, please update again and I apologize. Along with that, I had already began working on the next version so you get a little added benefit here. There is now a differentiation between changing from Downloading to Seeding and Seeding to Finished, though both are covered under the ‘Finished’ option.
Currently in the works
- More informative notifications. For example, threshold notices are nice, but wouldn’t it be better to know how much is left?
- Some kind of summary on a user defined interval. (X active, X total, X seeding, total bandwidth, etc)
An option to consider a transition from Downloading to Seeding to be a finished torrent.- Alternate delivery methods for those who do not use Growl. Perhaps via email? If you could benefit from µGrowl if it supported another notification method, please post in the comments or forums.
Enough of the small talk, on with the goods!
