What is a .GROWLREGDICT file?
The file extension .GROWLREGDICT is associated with a Growl Temp File, which is a temporary file type used by the Growl application. Growl is a notification program designed for Mac OS X that helps manage and display notifications from various applications.
The .GROWLREGDICT file specifically stores information that is utilized by the Growl Dictionary (GrowlDict). This information is temporary and is used by Growl to handle notifications more effectively.
Typically, these temporary files are named in a format similar to "Growl-[long string of characters].growlRegDict." In the context of different versions of Growl, these files behave slightly differently. For instance, in Growl version 6, these temporary files might be found in the Trash under a "Recovered Files" folder. Users can manually delete them if they appear there. However, in Growl version 7, this issue of temporary files appearing in the Trash has been addressed and seemingly resolved.
As for opening these files, they are primarily handled by the Growl application itself. However, it's important to note that Growl has been discontinued, which means that support and updates for the application are no longer available. This discontinuation might affect the ability to open or manage .GROWLREGDICT files in the future. If you encounter these files and use Growl, they are generally safe to delete since they are just temporary files used by the application.
