thanks Thomas!
still a better option from the iCal alarm pop-up window, now buried away…

Ahh, I see what you mean. This can’t help you with that.

All this script does is let you send an email alert to Growl instead of a normal email. It doesn’t add an alarm type or a way of adding alarms or anything.

sorry, I wasn’t so clear, I realised: when I set an alarm for a new event, I would like to see listed a specific set in lower section, like: “Send an email at Growl next day at 9:00AM”. Like my own default set.
this would save me the task of setting this up line by line, each time, for each new event.
this little issue made me look into QuickSilver in the first place. while I kept QS to open apps and access contact in Address Book, I stopped creating Event and ToDo with it because you have to enter dates under the US format.
cheers,

What do you mean by “auto date”?

Open Apple Address Book.
Select menu Card > Go to My Card.
Click the Edit button on the bottom.
Add the email address Growl as an email address.

Optionally, you can Enable private “Me” card in tge vCard section of the Address Book preferences and then uncheck the Growl email address from public.

Growl Alerts in iCal einbinden…

Schöne Anleitung zur Verwendung von Growl zur Erinnerung von iCal-Terminen.

Mitgedacht: Die Growl-Meldung verschwindet nicht einfach, sondern erst nach einem Klick auf selbige!

Hi Thomas, I know I’m an idiot, but I’ve no idea what step three means…

I appended â€œ-oldâ€ to their name, which did the trick.

The Command-D shortcut (File > Duplicate) has long been a quick way to clone original files/folders in Finder before making changes. And the newer File > Create Archive of "â€¦" can also be useful for preserving originals. Seems worth mentioning Finder 101 basics like that instead of assuming even Mac OS veterans know about them (since they've surprisingly often and repeatedly proven that they don't).

FYI: It’s a good thing to rename the scripts these replace so that you have the old copies, in the event you want to reverse thing later. I appended “-old” to their name, which did the trick.
