A link like this : "mece66: iron sky (http://www.ironsky.net)"
is parsed, but the ( ) are included in the url, so the browser wont open it properly unless you manually remove the parantheses..
i wouldn't expect a url like that to be parsed, snce i look for 'words' that start http however if urls end with random chars then how do i know what is url and what is not? at the moment i assume a url starts with http and ends with a space.
not sure how else to do this.

the text is rendered using pango, which is like html, it would interpret unescaped < chars as relevant to it's markup. not sure how to make it render those normally.

so the problem is the : after the RT? or also the space after username? again I detect usernames as starting with @ and ending in a space.

doesn't it do exactly that now? eg it puts whole tweet in place but with -14 indicator?

br, @mece66
write you comment in entry field, then go to twitpic menu option select picture. when you hit 'twitpic' picture and comment are sent.
currently if there is no text in the entry field, it doesn't send.
I'm aware this needs a proper pop up warning, or just to post with no comment

If Witter isn't working for you, eg crashes/doesn't start, gives errors etc etc. Please run it from x-term using:
run-standalone.sh python2.5 /opt/witter/witter.py

This will generate diagnostic output. Without this I cannot help you.
