Re: witter - a python twitter client
 

sorry that should have said
rm /home/user/.wittermen

(men short for mentions)
in any case the file that was giving you trouble was wittertl, so do things start up ok now?

Re: witter - a python twitter client
 

Yup, works good now. Thanks


EDIT: Just noticed the options for refresh interval. Nice touch. If remember correctly, it had to be manual input a while ago

I deleted those files and it solved my problem (which I hadn't yet posted).

Re: witter - a python twitter client
 

I've updated witter and now I get notifications...which is fine...but even when I set my profile NOT to vibrate, it still vibrates!

Re: witter - a python twitter client
 

hmm, I'm inclined to suggest this a a bug/defect with maemo, from my point of view I'm requesting a notification of a certain style from the OS, I presumed that maemo would handle whether you currently have something like vibration switched off or not. I surely can't be expected to perform some kind of check locally to witter and then just be trusted to adhere to it? That would make no sense at all.

I guess I'll try to find out if this is a bug, or just a stupid bit of design

Re: witter - a python twitter client
 

It's a "bug" in the API. As far as I know, there is no sanity check when you make your MCE dbus call for IM notification.

To anybody else who wants to stop this, as a specific and crappy workaround, you can modify /etc/mce/mce.ini and remove the IM vibration notification.

witter 0.3.4-1 uplaoded to extras-devel last night, has a first go at a portrait keyboard (I assumed Nokia was not about to drop another update with a system one in)
basically the plus button in the top bar, in landscape provides optiosn for +20, +50 etc, in portrait it brings up the portrait keyboard.
This may not be the best way to do it, but I wanted to get it in and see what it was like to use in practice.
Not all symbols are available, but I've put some of the more obviously useful ones in.

Re: witter - a python twitter client
 

I really like witter now - it's only missing list support now (I just have too many following to just read the normal timeline). Do you have any plans to implement lists?

Also, great work!

Btw: As it is written in Python, wouldnt it be relatively easy to port it to a desktop app (just some minor gui modifications)?

Re: witter - a python twitter client
 

I would like to implement lists, that said I am thinking I should be stabalising the code to try and get an update up to Extras, before making any more big additions.

As for desktop app...well yes in theory it's relatively *easy* afterall it's 'just a matter of coding' :-) but it does currently rely on lots of hildon specific stuff, kinetic scrolling, all the buttons use the hildon wrappers to get the right 'look'n'feel', selection boxes, notifications etc etc it's all very hildon specific. Plus there are already lots of twitter desktop apps.

Re: witter - a python twitter client
 

Hi all,

after upgrading to the latest version (0.3.3-9) of Witter unfortunately the app has stopped working on my N900.

gives me:

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Witter is definitely the best twitter app for the N900.
