Not sure what you mean. Status updates are basically wall posts. I dont think FB makes a distinction. But give me more of an idea what you are thinking about.

Would it be possible for you to look into facebricks authentication mechanism, because it not working at the moment?

Just posted a new version (0.4.0). Instead of showing the current staus, the upper window now contains the past 10 statuses, including any comments posted. The newest status is on top, with the rest in reverse time order.

There was also some invisible refactoring that was mainly aimed at allowing multiple hierarchically arranged message types (though it currently only uses status and comment).

Re: [Announce] Effing - Facebook Status Updater
 

If you have used the upgraded version, you might notice that the upper text box (with the older statuses in it) is not scrolling with any finger motions. I think this is due to the way Qt implemented this object on Maemo5, possibly to meet with the maemo5 design guidelines.

In any case, I am looking at the issue. If you really need to scroll that box in the meantime (hopefully not long) just tap it once to give it the focus and then use the arrow keys to scroll it.

Re: [Announce] Effing - Facebook Status Updater
 

The scroll problem is resolved. I was using a QTextEdit to display the existing status. I switched that to a QTextBrowser, which allows finger scrolling and has a few other features that might be useful later on.

I think the interface is now slightly uglier (if that were possible) because the QTextBrowser is square and the other items have rounded corners. But resizing the upper window to be a little larger helped a little.

I have a few more features to add, so stay tuned over the next week or so.

P.S. It may take a short while to get this uploaded. I added a key to sign my packages, and now I am having trouble getting it recognized by the uploader.

Re: [Announce] Effing - Facebook Status Updater
 

Have you considered moving to QML? It is simpler and you can concentrate on the functionality while the UI remains untouched.

Re: [Announce] Effing - Facebook Status Updater
 

Upload was finally successful. The problem was that I was signing my packages (I had set up a key in GPG on my laptop, and it was being picked up automatically) and the repository servers had no way of validating it because the build servers don't have internet access to get to the key repositories. I found an obscure set of message board conversations noting this, so I thought I would mention it here in case anyone searches for it for hours like I did.

I kept receiving the message back from extras-cauldron-build that said:

If you did not provide a PGP key when you joined garage, you have no opportunity to provide one later. So you can't sign your packages.

Which means you have to build the packages with -us and -uc options, like this:

Then they upload fine.
