Some advanced preferences cannot be set in the interface, but can be changed. Currently hidden preferences are:
- maxsize (integer): This is the maximum size in pixels of an image dropped in the RSS image well. Larger images will be scaled downward to this size. Default=512.
- ctdelay (integer): The delay in seconds between each Ambient News notification in a “burst”. Default=5.
- maxinstant_includes (integer): the number of the most recent instant headlines for each feed to check each time for inclusion matches. Default = 30.
- gt_check_anyway (boolean): Should GeekTool integration re-check iTunes artwork even of OmniGrowl didn’t find any? Default = NO (false)
- gt_markers (list): For GeekTool, a list of character markers to indicate whether artwork came from the internet, local images, or iTunes, respectively. The last term is the text to show when nothing is playing in iTunes. Default = {"°", "•", "","all is quiet…"}
- reload_hours_default (integer): the number of hours to wait before fetching new data from Yahoo Upcoming. (Otherwise last data is cached.) Default = 6.
- lookup_cc_by_id (boolean): try to lookup newer click context (URL, etc, when notification clicked) corresponding to same identifier. This is a work-around for a bug in Growl that when fixed will no longer be necessary. The drawback is if you never use notification coalescing (replacing newer similar notifications, as for events, RSS, etc.). In that case clicking on an older stay on screen notification will open the corresponding newer context instead.
The preferences file is:
~/Library/Preferences/com.wbc.omnigrowl.plist
Defaults write is:
defaults write com.wbc.omnigrowl For example, to change maxsize from the default of 512 pixels to 128:
defaults write com.wbc.omnigrowl maxsize 128For boolean values:
defaults write com.wbc.omnigrowl gt_check_anyway -bool NOFor a list:
defaults.write com.wbc.omnigrowl gt_markers '("°", "•", "","all is quiet…")'
