is there a way to kill the notifications that pop up when opening/closing the portable apps? i didn't see it in my growl prefs, so i'm guessing it's in the individual apps.

Growl style notifications are made by CocoaDialog that is a little app included in Portable apps. Clicking them will make them closer sooner. To remove pop-up you have to modify Portable app shell script. Which portable apps you wish to remove pop up notifications? Anyway pop-up notifications give you feedback for the succesfully end of portable script, usefull to know when you can unmount your USB drive.

For both Portable Applications do this:

ctrl+clik and "Show Package contents" and browse to /Contents/Resources/

Make a back-up copy of file script (just cmd+D) and using a text editor (like Smultron as I use) open file script.

Change lines 452/453 (near the end of the file) or comment adding # at the begin:

"$CD" bubble --title "Portable $appid setup ok" --text "Portable \
$appid open with success." --icon-file "$appicon" &

with:


echo "Portable $appid setup ok" &

and lines 462/463:
"$CD" bubble --title "Portable $appid quit" --text "Portable \
$appid quit with success." --icon-file "$appicon" &

with:
echo "Portable $appid quit" &

This will print notifications just on console.
