I thought I was going insane: Transmission kept giving out Growl-like notifications yet I removed Growl the second after Adobe CS5 finished installing. Kept searching in Activity Monitor and Library but couldn't find anything. Turns out Transmission has its own build-in notifications now. :pinch:

And hopefully it'll begin using the OS X API on ML

I don?t see it listed in the changelog.

Is it because Growl now costs something ? At least I know Transmission will make good use of the new Notifications Center in Mountain Lion the second it?s released. I wouldn?t be able to stand 3rd-party notifications when Growl is already perfect to me. At least go the native way if Growl is not a solution anymore !

Mist notifications: basic notification support for users without Growl
At least I know Transmission will make good use of the new Notifications Center in Mountain Lion the second it?s released.

Except it won't. Notifications can only be used by App Store apps, which I think is an ******* move of Apple. So unless Transmission is added to the App Store, no notifications for it.

Wow I missed it. Mist notifications, huh?

Yeah, I?m also scared about Transmission being rejected in the App Store. I?m crossing my fingers, because there?s a LOT of legal stuff to download out there with it. I forgot about the part where Notifications could only be used by apps coming from there. Bad move, Apple. They?re only trying to push developers to use the App Store, because there is no technical reason why a non-App Store app won?t be able to use this API.

They should try putting Transmission on the App Store right away to see how the story ends on Apple?s side?

There are so many legit things that are distributed over BitTorrent. There really is no reason why Transmission should be rejected from the App Store, but I have a feeling Apple will never allow it. It would be great to have native Notification Center support in ML.

After digging up a little bit, I have found something that will make .Neo joyous :)

NOT.

More like the opposite in fact.

What Mist notifications are all about : http://growl.info/do...-growl.php#mist

At least they?re not a completely different implementation from Growl. I only can?t believe how intrusive they can be!

    • The only reason I want to know where you from is because if you are not from the U.K, then why should you care what we in the U.K do or don't do? Racist I am not, I am fed up with the amount coming over here and feel they can come over here and think we need to support them. Do you know how much it costs this country to support these people coming over here? Even when we give them a place to live it is not good enough. We had a barge that was being used to house immigrants, oh but that was not good enough. A mate said to me at the time, when he was homeless, he would have been happy to live on the barge, instead of ending up sleeping on a bench on the beach. I am not scared to say what my family heritage is, unlike you who is scared to say where they are from or where they live. Father side U.S, mother side Wales, still have family living in the U.S. A mate who sadly died a few years ago, had a load of people from different races recording in his studio, I got on with all of them. Skin colour don't bother me, where they are from don't bother me. Religion don't bother me as long as they don't push it onto me and it is not crazy stuff. I am not religious. But if you are not living in the U.K, then why should you care if we are in the E.U or not? This the problem, too many people poking their noses into where it don't belong. But you believe what you believe, if you think I am racist, then be it, I really do not care. Just grow a pair
    • If he hasn't been able to figure that out, then why is he obsessed with tariffs? Because that's one of the most prominent tools to level the playing field when you have high cost of labor.
    • Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5102558, KB5095615 Setup and Recovery updates by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft released the newest preview update (C-release) under KB5095093. Alongside those, Microsoft also released new dynamic updates. For those who may not know, dynamic updates bring improvements to the Windows Recovery process in the form of Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) updates, which are also called Safe OS updates. The dynamic updates also affect the Setup file binaries in the form of Setup updates. These Dynamic Update packages are meant to be applied to existing Windows images prior to their deployment. Dynamic Updates also help preserve Language Pack (LP) and Features on Demand (FODs) content during the upgrade process. VBScript, for example, is currently an FOD on Windows 11 24H2. This time both recovery and setup updates were released for Windows 11. The company writes: "KB5095186: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, version 26H1: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.28000.2335. KB5102558: Setup Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to Windows setup binaries or any files that setup uses for feature updates in Windows 11, version 24H2 and Windows 11, version 25H2. KB5095615: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.26100.8737." Microsoft notes that both the Recovery and Setup updates will be downloaded and installed automatically via the Windows Update channel.
