Can you please drop us a line at cm-support? Thanks.

Milen Dzhumerov replied on March 01, 2009 12:45 to the problem "Twitter @replies link incorrectly to usernames" in The Cosmic Machine:

Thanks for the report. It will get fixed after we release the next update.

A comment on the question "Option to remove specific containers from the HUD" in The Cosmic Machine:

The reason for the inconsistent word was because there was no space. If we used the full wording it would make the pref pane look unbalanced. – Milen Dzhumerov, on March 01, 2009 12:43

Milen Dzhumerov replied on February 26, 2009 19:46 to the question "Links in RSS feeds sometimes not working" in The Cosmic Machine:

It hasn't been released yet. If you're on the pre-release testers list, you will receive an email when the new build gets seeded. Otherwise, you will be able to get the fix when we ship the update.

Milen Dzhumerov replied on February 26, 2009 16:29 to the question "Links in RSS feeds sometimes not working" in The Cosmic Machine:

This has been fixed in the development version.

Milen Dzhumerov replied on February 26, 2009 14:46 to the question "Is there anyway of seeing my tweets in the timeline?" in The Cosmic Machine:

It seems like something is going on with the network. Can you please run Console before EventBox refresh and then refresh the Twitter plugin. Do you see any messages from EventBox in Console (you can use the search field in the toolbar)?

Milen Dzhumerov replied on February 26, 2009 14:40 to the idea "picasa web support?" in The Cosmic Machine:

It seems that they've got an API. I'll put in our list of future services.

Milen Dzhumerov replied on February 25, 2009 23:28 to the question "Is there anyway of seeing my tweets in the timeline?" in The Cosmic Machine:

What happens right after you tweet? Twitter should refresh and show your tweet at the top. Can you attach a screenshot?

Milen Dzhumerov replied on February 25, 2009 23:24 to the question "Is there anyway of seeing my tweets in the timeline?" in The Cosmic Machine:

The top-level Twitter container shows all updates in your timeline.

Milen Dzhumerov replied on February 25, 2009 23:23 to the idea "Facebook full integration (notifications, requests and more)" in The Cosmic Machine:

As far as I can see, it mostly shows counts (e.g. wall posts) (correct me if I'm wrong). Showing the number of new wall posts within EventBox and then opening them in the browser is against what we're trying to do - move the information into desktop.

Milen Dzhumerov replied on February 25, 2009 23:21 to the idea "The HUD should be a Dashboard Widget" in The Cosmic Machine:

I believe we had a restriction for shortcuts that they had to contain at least one modifier key which was lifted in the development build.

There are quite a few users who don't use Dashboard and also use the HUD, again, different people have different opinions / usage patterns. Re-implementing the HUD panel for Dashboard would be a *net* waste of resources. Re-iterating, a subset of the people will probably use it in Dashboard but in general we would be duplicating functionality which is already there.

Please understand that we have a limited availability of resources and it's important that we focus on fixing things / implementing new features.

A comment on the problem "Auto refresh interrupts reading "Unread" items" in The Cosmic Machine:

The next update is real close, so hold on a little bit more. – Milen Dzhumerov, on February 25, 2009 23:14

Milen Dzhumerov replied on February 25, 2009 23:13 to the question "Per-service filtering" in The Cosmic Machine:

Smart folders which are coming in the next release should take care of this problem.

Milen Dzhumerov replied on February 25, 2009 17:39 to the question "Safari 4 Beta = EventBox crashing?" in The Cosmic Machine:

We're running Safari 4 ourselves and the problem is with EventBox. Please contact support at cm-support to further help with this issue.

Milen Dzhumerov replied on February 25, 2009 13:28 to the question "r558 and Smart Folders" in The Cosmic Machine:

No, no there is no way at the moment. We know about it and it will be implemented in a future update. The options were to either ship smart folders without editing or not ship them in the next update. We opted for the former.

Milen Dzhumerov replied on February 24, 2009 23:07 to the problem "Odd dotted line around the Emoji." in The Cosmic Machine:

Can you try re-enabling Euphemia UCAS and see if the dotted line re-appears? Also, is there a way for us to access one of the fonts which causes this problem?

Milen Dzhumerov replied on February 24, 2009 17:58 to the problem "Odd dotted line around the Emoji." in The Cosmic Machine:

It seems that the problem comes from a particular font which defines representation for a private range while it shouldn't be. Can you please give us a list of 3rd party fonts which you have installed?

Milen Dzhumerov replied on February 23, 2009 09:55 to the idea "Support for Get Satisfaction" in The Cosmic Machine:

Definitely do-able. I've put in on the list of potential services in the future.

A comment on the idea "Text Area resizer is "too much" & dock badge." in The Cosmic Machine:

The current badges are provided by the OS, that's why you cannot find files to replace. I've filed improvement requests for both of your questions. – Milen Dzhumerov, on February 23, 2009 09:54

Milen Dzhumerov replied on February 23, 2009 09:45 to the idea "Text Area resizer is "too much" & dock badge." in The Cosmic Machine:

I think we experimented with the HUD splitter and it seemed that it looked better with the background behind the dot. I'll give it another go for the release after next (next release is currently frozen feature-wise).

Regarding dock badges, I'm not aware of mechanisms to provide custom ones (as in a standard way that works across apps, like dock badge themes). Does something like this exist or do you know of any other apps that provide theming support for the dock badges? It would be a better idea to implement it a in compatible way in the future in order to avoid duplication.
