Selecting icon is broken? about gntp HOT 3 CLOSED

I don't recall the specific ticket it was mentioned in, but due to some crash bugs related to less than responsive sites, they have temporarily disabled URL images in Growl 1.3.3. If you look in your console you will see lines similar to this.

01/29/12 22:35:24.548 Growl: URL based application icon's are not presently supported. Support will return in a future release of Growl.app

01/29/12 22:35:24.872 Growl: Not downloading icon for notification of application

I think these tickets were somewhat related to it.

You may be better off searching through some of the GrowlMac tickets ( http://code.google.com/p/growl/issues/list ) or checking their mailing list http://code.google.com/p/growl/ ( listed on the bottom left )

In my console, I see the "Not downloading icon for notification of application", but not the former notice. However, even with URL images failing, shouldn't local images function?

With command line growlnotify, I can specify --image "my/local/image.png" without issue, which is why I was looking for something wrong in my usage of GNTP.

See if this fixes it. I still need to make gntp.notifier smarter about dealing with images but this should work for now. If you're using gntp.notifier.GrowlNotifier() you'll want to either send the applicationIcon or the notificationIcon as either a URL string "http://example.com/image.png" or you'll want to send it as image data open('/path/to/file.png').read()
