Growl notifications for Hyperspaces
If Hyperspaces could add usual (and highly customizable, even to simply disable) calls to Growl to notify a space change, this would be a simple but very nice new feature.
I’m confident

This is a shot from my local build. These preferences will be present in the next public release. I've also updated the code so that Growl will notify you on any space change - not just the ones triggered by Hyperspaces (you'll still need Hyperspaces running though).
I’m happy

Inappropriate?I think this is a wonderful idea. I use Growl with most of my programs and this idea would be consistent with how I work productively.

Inappropriate?Is there suppose to be no Growl notifications when you change spaces without using Hyperspaces?
If so, I'd love to see Growl notifications when changing spaces via other methods :)
I’m undecided

Uh no, Apple don't seem to integrate Growl support into any of their applications. I could probably write a small plug-in for the Growl project that did this, but I don't have time right now. -
Inappropriate?Maybe would there be a solution to address Jonathan's wish nevertheless:
if Hyperspaces is currently able to change the desktop background each time the user selects another space (however it is: with Hyperspaces, with MacOS shortcuts, with another tool...), then it should be able to produce also the Growl notification in the same circumstances?
(which is indeed not the case currently: Hyperspaces notifies only changes made with Hyperspaces. But this behavior may also be the right one...)
I’m confident

Inappropriate?Tony and RYann, thanks for your posts :)
I know Apple doesn't support Growl and I should have reworded my previous post to mention this :P
Looking forward to the future updates! :)

Inappropriate?Hi guys - these preferences are in the release I've just pushed out. Let me know if this solves things to your liking:

Tony, thanks for the release :)
Is there a MacHeist 3 version of this release? -
Hi Jonathan - not yet. I'll merge the changes into my MacHeist build tomorrow night. Ping me via e-mail if there's no new build after Thursday.

Inappropriate?Yeah, nice! Congratulations.
To make it perfect in a future stable release, maybe you could allow a user-defined text for the notification?
One simple and user-friendly idea to implement it could be to add a usual '?' (or another icon) after the two preference lines to have more informations:
x When changing Spaces (?)
x When adding or removing Spaces (?)
a. Hover this symbol (?) would show the current text as tool-tip
b. Clicking this symbol would open an input textfield to replace
"You changed spaces to '%s'." by any user-defined text or to restore the default one.
This would also simply enable us to localize this text to our language.
P.S. Of course, it's not so simple to edit the four texts concerned by the second notification line ("you added/removed a column/line...") But I'm sure you'll have a great idea! Or simply allow the customization to only the first one?
I’m confident
