Overall, though, I like the improvements that witter has been seeing lately.

Check your preferences. you'll see the option

Hey don't know if this has been raised before, but configuring 0auth for an identi.ca account opens a browser window to the twitter authorisation page. Version 0.3.4

I don't yet support oauth to identi.ca accounts or indeed any non-twitter service. but I think the option only disappears after you've done initial config of the account.

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.

Got it, thanks! I guess I didn't associate it with "e-mail style notifications" :-)

possibly a slightly confusing naming , but from a code point of view you basically ask for an Email and IM type notification.

not sure how else to differentiate between that and the temporary popup banners that it does otherwise.

Just curious, is it possible to make it run in the background like Modest or Conversations?

For instance, you get a DM or a mention and the notification pops up.You click the notification and Witter opens.

It is not exactly a necessity, I'm just curious

erm... I suppose it would in theory be possible to just hide the entire ui, not sure whether it would be as simple as that.
I've not figured out how to make witter pop up and grab focus when notification is clicked yet anyway.

I think it would take significant rework with that specifically in mind to do anything worthwhile, rather than just hide the ui but still perform processing etc.

I currently know of no real bugs in witter 0.3.4-8 in extras-testing, (lots of stuff people would like to see added, but no actual bugs)
If this is true, then a vote in extras-testing will help me push this as a new update to Extras. If it is not true (much more likely) please let me know what issues really need to be fixed before pushing another version to Extras

cheers

I've one bug to report in the latest witter version. From time to time, witter will just hang while loading the timeline. Not sure if the issue is network or twitter related. It happens randomly and when it happens no control in witter will work. I've to kill witter to exit out of it.

Let me know how to collect any debug information.
