Growl notification trigger not opening app or having no reaction on click

Growl is a great way of being politely notified of system events in OSX. I recently upgraded and bought Growl on the app store, and like many other users, I had problems like:

"Clicking notification doesnt open the app that triggered the notification"

"zero reaction on clicks when a new notification pops up"

I had this problem because I had a previous version of Growl before upgrading.

To restore this very handy functionality, install the Growl Version Detective (http://growl.info/downloads#generaldownloads currently 1.2.2) and upgrade the Framework version on your app like shown below.

After updating the Framework version for iTerm and Adium, I was able to click on the Growl notification and have that action restore the focus to the respective applications.

Select your app and click "Upgrade FW"

You can read the original thread here: http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?postid=1522325

I checked the code in here: https://github.com/jwsy/enqueueee

I'll keep the executable shared from my Google Drive just in case https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wcPsqKLXFd5O3E4OWAZNkiA-KNUOyUaJ/view?usp=sharing; 5/27/2020 2:44 PM
