Well it was in extras-devel this morning when I installed it to check it was ok....

As for themes. if you can tell me how to look at theme settings from python, or what to use in order to have theme settings applied, then I'd be happy to look at coding it.
If you can even point me at instructions that that talk about theme information from C that might help. But the bottom line is I have no clue how to even find out theme information let along how to ensure witter follows it.

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.

I picked up an update from devel this morning, so it was definitely there then.

And switching to oauth seems to have solved my problem! I can haz lots of tweets now. This will mean I don't have to wake every two hours to check my twitter stream! Thank you!!!

I found a bug, I guess.

Since there is no way of saving multiple searches, I decided to try putting my favorite searches on one line. Then the next time I ran witter, it would be easy to invoke that line, I thought.

So I clicked on the search icon and put

#iranelection #n900 #kindle

on the line and hit refresh.

Got an error. I suppose it looks for all three, which is probably correct, but I wish a drop-down bar would pop up of searches done in the past, then you could select a search you have used before. As it is, it appears to only remember one search. Twitter itself saves searches, why not witter?

put a comma between those search terms, and you will get one search for each term.
it *should* also 'save' them in the sense that if you swipe to a different view, and then back to searches, your terms will still be there. and if you quit and re-open your searches should still be there (can't promise no bugs)
I'm not sure I know what twitter does in terms of saving searches and if there is some mechansism I could tie into which would use searches stored by twitter, then it is something I might look at. But for the moment, the above describes the function that is there.

I found a bug in 0.2.2 (I don't know if it got mentioned already)

when you abort setting the basic auth or oauth setting, and retry the settings window is not fully visible, actually one only sees the title and a few pixels of the 1st input field.

edit: I forgot I found something else too.
characters that use escape sequences in html (like <) are not displayed properly, instead of the character witter displays the escape sequence (&lt; in this case)

for the first problem, yes I know about it. but I have no idea why it happens. if you cancel the dialog with the cancel button, then you can return no problem. but if you cancel by clicking outside the dialog, then you get what you describe.

However, I started last night, to completely restructure the whole application using what I've learned about Python so far to try and do a vaguely sane architecture rather than the monolithic app it is today. As part of that I am hoping to enable multiple account support, so I will be totally changing that dialog before I release the next version anyway.

as for the escape sequences, I think I fix some, but perhaps not all. part of the issue is using pango for markup which is html like itself. at some point I may revisit that logic and see what I can do.

@dwould

notcied witter hasn't been updated for quite a while.
Curious to know what are you working on now

How about gps support? or interface like hahlo so we can get avatars

Again, just pitching ideas, thanks a lot of the app

sorry missed the first time you asked...
i'm most of the way through a big internal re-structure that will enable multiple account support of twitter/identi.ca/other. sadly I've been super busy recently and I've not had a chance to get it finished.
hopefully in the next week that will be ready for extras-testing. then i'll see how i feel about next items.
