Hi Chris, Perfect. Did not notice that Growl Version Detective could also change the version inside the tested apps. => your solution brought back my notifications with Unison and VLC 2.2.8.
Many thanks (but soon a new mail about VLC ;-)) Two last questions about Growl and version: 1. I observe that Growl Version Detective can inject FW version 2.0 (as displayed bu itself), but this page (http://growl.info/notetodevelopers) explains the fallback to Apple Notification Center in case Growl is not running only from FW version 2.0.1 and higher... Nevertheless I can observe now this nice fallback to Apple Notification Center in each app that I upgraded with Growl Detective... Normal? 2.0 is in fact same as 2.0.1? 2. Thanks to your suggestion I restored the notifications with Growl Detective. But months ago, with Sierra or Yosemite, the same apps (VLC or Unison) with same Growl worked well. Is it a recent update in macOS that broke the compatibility of FW1.2.2 linking those apps to Growl notifier? best regards. Chris Forsythe wrote on 07/02/2018 :
Yann, For Unison and VLC see if you can update the framework with Growl Version Detective.

Here follow my results: Chris Forsythe wrote on 30/01/2018:Some ideas: - Check in the Console application first to see if there are any logs.Unfortunately, I did not notice anything special about Unison and Growl notifications in my console.- Next I would try to figure out how Unison was notifying you. Ideally it would be easy to reproduce. I wouldn't think it's Growl's issue itself due to the other apps notifying. - You can use the Growl Version Detective application to figure out which Growl framework is included with Unison. Let us know the version.Good idea. The detective returned version 1.2.1 for my usual version of Unison GUI (version 2.40.65) that worked for years, and exactly the same Growl framework for most recent version from http://unison-binaries.inria.fr/ <http://unison-binaries.inria.fr/> I noticed some other (interesting?) facts: 1- the Detective also revealead that the most recent version (2.2.8) of VLC Media Player users Growl Framework 1.2.2 => Similarly I can't get any notifications from VLC 2.2.8, whereas it is supposed to display one when playing next playlist item. 2- the Detective revealed that Adium uses Growl Framework 2.0.1 => notifications diplay perfectly I tend to conclude that compatibility with "older" Growl framework (<1.3 ?) is broken on my system (macOS 10.12.6) Nevertheless, moving Growl 2.1.3 to the trash and reinstalling it from the Mac App Store did fix anything. Any idea?

I did not change the application which is still my "old" version 2.40.69 of the GUI. Then I tried to download a more recent version of GUI from http://unison-binaries.inria.fr/ <http://unison-binaries.inria.fr/> The result is still the same: - although they are enable, I can't get any notifications during the (correct) work of Unison (As I remember those notifications were generated only when the app window was not the front-most window). - when I remove Unison from Growl (with backspace in preference pane "Applications") the Unison application is correctly registered again at next launch. - I can't see anything from Unison in Growl history either - of course Growl is running and other applications like HardwareGrowler or GrowlTunes are still displaying notifications I've no idea where to search to find what is going wrong. Is there, for instance, a log file for Growl where I could read connections with the application Unison and maybe failed attempts to display a notification?
