For Casuistry, Perhaps? - Version: 2.5, 5/31/2008 03:24AM PST

EndlessFxTo add a wee bit to the previous "omni" discussion: I like that this smaller company is standing its ground. (I think it's an underdog thing, here!) It has just as much right to use the prefix as the other, larger company. However, OmniGroup has stature and WoodenBrain's software may ofttimes erroneously be associated with that company, which could be a good or bad thing! Looking at OmniWeb - the web browser put forth by OmniGroup - they have put out pretty good software, so perhaps it will be a good thing.
Also, due to the association, the onus is WoodenBrain to at least match the quality reputation of OmniGroup.
At the moment, however, there is no apparent reason WoodenBrain should not use the name if they wish.
This may end as a bartering matter, a smoldering matter, or perhaps it will lend itself to a casuistry arena one day.
I haven't had time to play around with OmniGrowl but it sounds like a very handy utility. I just hope it works "omni-"efficaciously!
Preference window bug has been fixed.
I love Growl and this integrates very well with it as well as with some of your more popular Mac apps.
I look forward to seeing more apps working with Growl, and thus even more uses for OmniGrowl in the future!
