A comment on the problem "Why does twhirl disappear?" in Seesmic:

Sure, no problem! On the computer twhirl isn't working on I'm running a network distributed version of Symantic Antivirus. On the Vista PC that twhirl DOES work on I'm running Norton 360. And on the Mac, well, not running any anti-virus at all and having no problem with Twhirl. – Robert Svihla, on September 05, 2008 20:02

Well, I really appreciate you taking to share the information you do have. It really does help out. If you do have a moment, I would be curious to know if you have any anit-virus software running. (sometimes those mess with non-virusy applications) – Thomas Knoll, on September 05, 2008 19:31

I wish I had more info on how to reproduce it, but it literally just started happening out of the blue. Twhirl works fine on my two other computers (one Mac, one Vista), but as far as I can tell, there wasn't any specific thing that lead to this current issue. And I've got no problem loading up Spaz or some other Adobe Air twitter client -- I just don't like any of those other ones :) – Robert Svihla, on September 05, 2008 17:28

Thanks for the info, please keep the detailed reports coming. We're trying to reproduce this locally so we can work on a solution.

I'm having the disappearing twhirl issue, too. Running on Windows XP sp2, twhirl version 0.8.4. It shows up in the task manager, but there's no icon in the systray and the windows never pop up.



Hope the image helps somewhat. As you can see, it's not in the systray, even though it's running, and it's not an open window, either.

hmmmm, sorry to hear you're still having trouble. Any screen shots you can post here or send to info@twhirl.org would be very helpful. – Thomas Knoll, on September 04, 2008 07:16

Same problem here. The process is visible in task list or in process explorer. The 'window' menu in process explorer is grey ; no twhirl window, no tray icon, nothing. Tried to uninstall/reinstall twhirl, reboot, etc.. Spaz, who is also using Air works fine. I'm using vista 32 ultimate.

CJCraft's tip was a good try, but did not work for me. I tried both the standard procexp and procexp64 (I'm on Vista x64). It says twhirl.exe has no visible windows.

Why does Twhirl disappear? No window, no tray icon. Who cares? Here’s how to fix it.

I just had this problem for the first time on my Mac, and the solution fixes it, which is fantastic. I just thought I'd chime in that the same thing happens when you minimize the app on Ubuntu Linux. I had just chalked it up to AIR being alpha-quality on Linux and didn't think anything of it 'til it happened on my Mac, too. Thanks for the solution, though!

Some times in XP it disappears from the tray too. I just ctrl alt del to get the task manager up, manually end the program, and then open it back up, works every time

Simon replied on June 05, 2008 18:48 to the problem "Why does twhirl disappear?" in Seesmic:

Roger nailed the issue. Anything that minimizes Twhirl causes it to disappear from Windows. However, Windows Task Manager says that it's still running, so you can't start another one up. However, you can click (once) on the Twhirl logo in the tray; that brings the GUI back.

roger replied on June 05, 2008 13:22 to the problem "Why does twhirl disappear?" in Seesmic:

I see the same on Windows XP sp2 when I minimize Twhirl. There is nothing in the tray or taskbar to click to get it back. It reappears when a tweet comes in. Version is u.0.8.1, just installed yesterday.

I had the same problem when I used twhirl.

Windows XP sp2

It worked fine at first then as time went on, a message box appear
about twhirl not functioning properly (send/dont send report)

rebooted my computer 20 times (gave up eventually), then reformatted my disk. It was probably because of adobe air. I even tried reinstalling adobe air before reformatting but it gives the same error as twhirl.

Oh, I guess I should have elaborated more in my reply.

The API documentation was recently updated (Apr 29 if I remember right) so if there is no Track API method listed there, then chances are it doesn't exist.

Your best bet therefore is to join the Twitter Development Group and post a request for such a method there.

This video show's how to solve the issue with AIR on mac. (It's not directly an issue with Twhirl but the current version of AIR.)



1. Right click on the Twhirl icon in the dock.
2. Select, "Reset Windows"

zbizzle replied on May 15, 2008 16:42 to the question "API method for twitter "track" function?" in Twitter:

I'm not looking for the documentation or the dev group. I checked both already, and there is NOTHING about a "track" API. The API does not mention the Twitter track function.

mdy replied on May 15, 2008 02:50 to the question "API method for twitter "track" function?" in Twitter:

You'll find the API documentation in the Twitter Development Group. That's where most of the API developers hang out.
