Un-favorite Tweets that have been Favorited

Ditto. Full favorites toggle/delete would be great. Also, existing favorites don't seem to be marked with a star.

Like John said favorites that you have marked on your phone or on the web don't have a star, yet can you still favorite a favorite. This makes me think that the favorite tweet function is not linking back to twitter.

@Mikey Bouchereau: now that you mention it...
This need a fix

Please, fix this soon!

Yeah the problems of prior favorited tweets not being favorited in Tweetie is really sad but the ability of unfavoriting musst be added. Not simply toggling, but favoriting with "F" and unfavoriting with "Option+F" or something.

sad woud be great.

What? I kinda took the reversal of actions as a given! To be able to favorite and unfavorite is essential (also, give all items that you show in the favorites view a star...)

yes, why isn't this working already

also to add to this point, favourites already present on your twitter account also don't have the tweetie favourite star

strange. i also expected it to be there.

I expect this to happen already. I want to click a Star to favorite and click the Star again to unfavorite. Or have F be the Favorite/Unfavorite toggle.

This is definitely needed. I can work around the missing favorites in the sidebar as long as those are not there but going to the website just for unfavoriting stuff...argl

I too need the un-favorite functionality - I use tweetie on the iphone throughout the day, and am favoriting tweets that I want to read when I get back. Then unfavorite on tweetie for mac once read when I'm back home.

It's the one thing thats stopping me splashing the cash.

We have now "Video Tweeting" but no un-favoriting and no favorites in the sidebar? That's priority-setting done right...

They're adding features before fixing bugs? It doesn't make sense.

Hard to understand how tweeting video took priority over this. Maybe it's hard to understand why someone would un-favor a tweet, but I suspect many people use the feature to only temporarily bookmark tweets.

Is there some technical hurdle?

can't understand. I don't want a program to tell me how to use a feature.I use favs as temporary bookmark, and I want to keep using it this way

No technical hurdle, nearly every other client I have used does it just fine. Its pretty lame they didnt FIX the software and rather added new features. They really need to have support for viewing tweets that have been faviorated, and provide for the ability to unfaviorate them. I'm going to use twitter the way i want too!

Previous commenters: I understand how it can look like Atebits is intentionally prioritizing new features over bug fixes, but that's not quite how development works. If they were already neck-deep in the video commenting system by the time they realized un-favoriting needed work, it may have been more trouble to branch off the earlier code, fix the bug, and merge it all back than to simply finish the current feature and then move on to the bug. (I'm calling it a bug, though really it's a missing feature.)

I'm not saying you guys don't have a right to complain or express your frustration, but characterizing it as a priority issue isn't quite accurate -- at least, it's not obviously accurate. That may be the case, but just because Feature X was released before Feature Y doesn't mean it was higher priority; there are other developmental considerations, like is Feature Y the extension of a system that's being rewritten and not yet ready, etc.

Just a little balance from a dev's perspective. :) (Not *the* dev's perspective; I'm not atebits or anything.)

Yes please, change this!

Josh mentioned this a month ago. 26 days ago ashponders said it was coming soon. I see it's not in ver 1.1.2. Is there any concrete date for this feature?

It's a fairly basic feature that Tweetdeck, Twhirl and the like have and for my purposes renders Tweetie less useful.

It is an application that people pay for, surely it's fair enough that something so basic should be included.

I don't mean to sound *too* much like a dick, but shouldn't this be reasonably reclassified as a bug report rather than a feature request by now? Being able to unflag something you can flag within the same application is not an added feature, but rather an *expected behavior*.

It's not a showstopper like an outright crash bug, but it is still - as currently implemented - an incomplete feature implementation, and should rightfully be treated as such. I understand a lot of work has gone into this application and this post should *not* be construed as implying otherwise. However, adding *new* features should come second to *completing* those already present. (End rant.)

I changed to DestroyTwitter because of this problem. It's Adobe Air but in loading time it's quicker then Tweetie, it has a option for widerscreen, a group function and favorite tweets function called 'saved'. There is enough competition so why not look around if you really want this feature?

its annoying not to have it but give the developers some space. i have not paid for tweetie yet because its not indispensable yet but when it becomes so i will gladly pay up.

This would be slightly less annoying if the favorite hotkey wasn't just a letter on the home-row with no modifier. :P

Find that this one is marked as "in progress" is quite a relief. :)

didn't realize this problem has been documented over 7 months ago! the bug (?) still exists!!!!

Ash has said that they are going to update very soon. I'm guessing, least hoping this significant and somewhat annoying oversight is going to be fixed.

Tweetie is my favourite Twitter client, however I have to use TweetDeck or Twirl to unfavourite Tweets. I must say that I'm tending to use them more often than not at the moment and beginning to regret that I foolishly paid somewhat too early for this potentially excellent program.
