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!

    • draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates. Diagram faster with keyboard shortcuts. draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 changelog: Uses electron 42.4.1 Updates to draw.io core 30.2.4.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.
