Supported Apps Wishlist

With the 2.0 codebase getting pretty stable, I am starting to turn my attention to expanding support for Growl for Windows to more applications. I created the initial set of plugins (iTunes, Outlook, Visual Studio) because they were applications i used frequently and they had fairly easy to implement plug-in architectures. But now I would really like to grow the list of applications that support GFW, so I am asking for your input.

Post the applications that you would most like to see support GFW in the comments below and I will focus on those apps. If the apps dont have a plugin architecture, I will try to work with the app developers to build support in natively. (Two Twitter clients, Witty and Spaz, have already had patches submitted to them to add support natively). The apps with the most votes will get priority.

Finally, if you are a developer of an app that supports GFW/GNTP or have created a plug-in for another app to add GFW/GNTP support, post up a link and I will add it to the list of supported applications.

**UPDATE 5**:Winamp Plug-in now available:

**UPDATE 4**:Thanks to @aegnor, there is now Pidgin support.

**UPDATE 3**:Thanks to Vaelek, there is now µTorrent support. check it out at:

**UPDATE 2**: The following plugins have been released - more to come soon:

**UPDATE**: As of right now (May 6th, 2009), here are the most requested apps:

Some of these are going to be tricky (ex: uTorrent and Digsby dont have API/plugin support, etc), but i am going to work hard on getting the apps supported one way or another. If anybody out there wants to volunteer to help (writing a plugin, pestering the app developers to add support, etc), that would be great. thanks for all of the feedback so far.

Howdy,

I've written a little Windows Media Player plug-in. I'm still tracking down some bugs around startup and playlist changing. It also does not yet support album art, but it's usable for your most common cases.

Download is at http://aitne.com/downloads/WMP-GNTP-Installer-1.0.0.msi

Feel free to contact me at ndnr [[at] anmt.net for bug reports.

thought there are a million self-running WOOT! (www.woot.com) apps, it world be awesome to have one for growl allowing me to be notified at midnight central US time(theats when they put up the item of the day), lettting us pick which ___.woot.com site(s) we want to get notifications for, and alllow us to set how often it checks(so thatwe can find out if there is a wootoff and then keep up w/ it. heck, having a way to tell us its a wootoff and be able to check at a diff frequency than it does on a regual day, such as checking every 30 minutes on reg. days, and every 5 seconds during a wootoff) also, a yahoo app would be good too
