search is currently fairly basic, it simply fetches the last 20 results. it always clears out previous search results when it runs.

at some poont i'll look into how to integrate with the twitter saved search thing. at that time i might look at retaining search hits.

Check out Witter, a twitter client for N900

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.

Since the last update I feel that witter is a fully useable twitter client for me, and the only one I use while on the move. A couple of minor things bother me though, all of which should be pretty trivial to fix:

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..

some special characters, for example < and > are html encoded and are displayed like

Code:

&lt;

so they need to be decoded when displayed, for example with HTMLparser.unescape IIRC.

the RT function is rendered wrong imo. it's now "RT: @mece66 : blahblah" and it should be "RT @mece66: blahblah"

RT function should work on too long texts, but cut off the end if tweeted while too long. -14 chars left or something like that could be displayed if text is too long.

lastly, and this might not be a bug, just me... How do I use twitpic? I mean where do I enter the text? What happens when I click the "twitpic" button after selecting an image?

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?

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
