That's a first. Have you tried re-installing the app? or tried deleting all the files and retrying the installation? Let me know if that helps.

Jonathan Snook replied on January 16, 2008 02:43 to the problem "snitter not recognising valid twitter username and password" in Snitter:

I suspect this is due to the rate limits that Twitter has put in place today. I've heard reports of password issues along with rate limits for a number of people across the various Twitter clients. If you're still having problems with this tomorrow, let me know.

Jonathan Snook replied on January 16, 2008 02:40 to the problem "Rate limit exceeded error in .027" in Snitter:

Twitter lowered the rate limits for today due to MacWorld. Any app that uses the Twitter API has been affected. We can only wait until they change things back again.

This will be coming soon. I'm about half way there. The first step is getting the friends and followers timelines stored locally. After that, I'll be able to cross-reference everything. Probably in about 2-4 weeks, that'll be in there.

Jonathan Snook replied on January 08, 2008 14:42 to the question "How do I get my friends and followers to load in the appropriate tabs?" in Snitter:

0.023 had a bug that prevented the friends and followers lists from getting pulled in properly. This has been fixed in later versions (which at this time, haven't been pushed into full release. If you're feeling adventurous, you can check grab the latest 0.026 at http://snook.ca/testing/snitter-26.air ).

Does it crash every single time or has it happened just the once?

Jonathan Snook, an employee of Snitter, replied on December 30, 2007 08:32 to the question "How do I increase the font size?" in Snitter:

You can use the User Styles to customize the interface to your liking. Click on the down arrow at the top (probably next to the word Tweets) to show the menu. Click on Options and then click on Edit User Styles to bring up the dialog. To increase the tweet text, just add this to the box:

.tweettext {font-size:16px;line-height:1.2;}

This will increase the font size and give the text a little room to breath between each line of text. Increase or decrease the number to adjust to your liking.

How do I increase the font size?

The font size is just too tiny. I'd like to make it bigger.

Jonathan Snook, an employee of Snitter, replied on December 30, 2007 08:27 to the problem "Problem with Ctrl+A" in Snitter:

Yes, it's a bug in this beta of AIR. I suspect in trying to fix the international keyboard issues, they weren't able to remap all the keyboard events. I have no doubt that this will be fixed when AIR hits 1.0.

This is actually a bug in Adobe AIR (ctrl-c and ctrl-v don't work either). However, I decided to take a moment to see if I can hack around it and I can. So, this is now fixed for the next version.

Jonathan Snook set one of Jonathan Snook's replies as an official response to "Can I get Growl Support for OSX?" in Snitter

Jonathan Snook, an employee of Snitter, replied on December 30, 2007 04:49 to the question "Can I get Growl Support for OSX?" in Snitter:

Unfortunately, Growl support isn't currently possible from the Adobe AIR platform.

For a more technical explanation, read on...

Growl allows for remote connections to be made via TCP (using Distributed Objects) or UDP (using GrowlTalk). AIR allows for TCP socket connections but not UDP. Therefore, in order to talk to Growl via TCP, I'd have to figure out how to send Distributed Object packets. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be documented anywhere except in C code which is, honestly, a little beyond my expertise. So, while not technically impossible at this point, it'll likely have to wait until Growl adds TCP support using GrowlTalk or AIR adds UDP socket support.

Can I get Growl Support for OSX?

Growl is a third-party notification system and it'd be nice to have all notifications going through a single application.

Jonathan Snook, an employee of Snitter, replied on December 30, 2007 04:09 to the question "Snitter opens links in the wrong browser. How do I fix it?" in Snitter:

This is a current bug with the Adobe AIR platform. One possible solution is to set an alternate browser as the default and then go back to your preferred browser and set it as the default.
