Re: witter - a python twitter client
 

AlexTootchie tweeted it and I happened to be doing something which meant I had more than the conventional repos enabled at the time. I took it as a sign that I was supposed to go get it. :p

I'm still working out what all the buttons are for, but it's dead nifty. And it found and collected my regular search without needing refreshing. (#n900 as you might have guessed!)

Re: witter - a python twitter client
 

Love the update!
Love the ability to get more than the previous default 20 tweets, can now get up to two hundred...
Love the fact I can now see my user history...
Love the full screen mode...

Only points I note:
- When viewing the timeline after a while, and scrolling, it sometimes struggles to redraw itself fast enough, so the initial scrolling action comes across jumpy....after that then scrolls and looks good.
- Would still like to see some user avatars

Overall, that it a huge improvement, and I hope you continue as it is very much appreciated.

Cheers

Re: witter - a python twitter client
 

you realise you can keep hitting those buttons and go back as far as you like
odly enough it's pretty much a side effect that you get your own user history if you hit refresh with nothing in the entry box. i wrote it to get at the history of anyone else i come accross. hence you get 'history' buttons for anyone mentioned in a tweet.
still need to see if there is anything i can do about performance. obviously now you can quickly load many more tweets you can quickly give it lots of work to do.

glad you like it.

Re: witter - a python twitter client
 

Just one thought - and I know it's trivial! I've seen people on twitter moaning that they don't like the electric blue. Perhaps when you've done the important things, a couple of theme/colour options would be a pretty addition. Yeah, I know it's cosmetic, but I see people saying it.

I think you're approaching the point of knocking the 'port gravity' cry on the head once and for all. Personally I prefer the idea of something that's a Maemo app from its toes up.

Re: witter - a python twitter client
 

ok, so I also noticed people complaining about the colour. I happen to like it since it is the same as the OS window buttons. However. I have just implemented a fairly crude ability for people to select their own two colours to form a gradient for the background to tweets.
However before I upload a new verison I also wanted to hook into the volume rocker events to allow the text font size to be changed.

Anyone got any idea how I do that? they don't seem to register as on_key_press events

Re: witter - a python twitter client
 

ok so i still haven't figured out how to gwt zoom events. however i have uploaded 0.2.2-2 with basic support for changing the background colour gradient. with 2 buttons in the menu. each launch a colour picker. you have to get the colour you want in the pallet and which ever is selected when you hit ok is picked.
it sometimes takes a scroll to force a redraw event.

your colours are saved in /home/user/.witter
also font size is stored there and can be changed by hand.

Re: witter - a python twitter client
 

A question, do I download this from testing or devel?

The version in Testing reports itself (prior to install) as 0.2.1-8. But the version in devel reports the same.

But I like the sound of 0.2.2-2.

I'm looking forward to testing this application. What I've seen and read sounds very good.

Re: witter - a python twitter client
 

I installed the latest version, and witter will not start now.....starts up, loading, then just closes...never gets to the loading of tweets.

Help?

Re: witter - a python twitter client
 

Same here. Have tried uninstalling and re-installing but remains the same.

Re: witter - a python twitter client
 

oops...somehow managed to get the ui file out of step wiith the code...this is what i get for coding until late then throwing it into autobuilder and going to bed before testing it.

0.2.2-3 is on it's way through and hopefully resolves the issue.

this also answers the question for kjmackey...you*should*seethe0.2.2 stream when you have extras-devel enabled. clearly ohers do see it. however, it is the devel repo and sometimes i screw up. so if you don't want to suddenly find thinga broken for a bit, stay with extras-testing. once i've had enough good feedbacck that things are ok i'll promote ro extras-testing
