twhirl

I've tried it several times. See the screenshot:



Sorry that it's German, it just installed this way. I translate:

"Unfortunately an error occurred.

The application couldn't be installed, as the AIR-file is defective (!).
Please ask the author of the application for a new AIR-file."

limit exceeded, paused 5 min error on the bottom and no display ??? any ideas

On Vista FR SP1, none of my passwords are saved. On launch, account windows appears empty, but account.xml looks fine on save.
When saving passwords (twitter, FF, Jaiku ou pownce) I got an error on the log :
"5/31/2008 13:32:23.939 [ERROR] twhirl TwhirlAccount - storing password for ****** failed, error: general internal error"
When clicking save on option windows, window doesn't close as expected even if I have "5/31/2008 13:32:17.830 [INFO] twhirl AccountsManager - configuration file loaded" Wich seems correct.
On relaunch, all has to be done again.

When I add my FriendFeed account to Twhirl 0.8.1 on Vista (including the remote key), I get the error message "FriendFeed data unavailable" (repeatedly, not just today). Does my FF account have to be public for this to work?

The option "no notifications for old messages on start", added on Twhirl 0.8.3; doesn't work as expected.

When I load Twhirl, I get notifications for every single reply and DM anyway.

Hi, clicking on links actually open a new window in Firefox instead of creating a new Tab in an existing window, and it's slightly annoying after a while.

All other apps, Twitterific, Mail, Vienna, etc... work as expected.

This could come from the AIR Runtime but I'm a XUL kinda guy :-)

Env: Mac Leopard / Firefox 3, set as default Browser

Friendfeed will not display when I log in - have checked API key etc a couple of times with no luck!

twhirl! please resolve the positioning of the application itself on the screen (osX), very often I plug in and out my monitor and very often my twhirl sets totaly out (seeing only left bottom corner) and one is unable normaly deal with that (I solve it by changin the screen arrangement),
best solution would be, when i could drag the app on more spots (sides, bottom), than just the topbar.

I am unable to see the tweets in twhirl. Whenever I start it up I get a limit exceeded paused 5 minutes error and it never goes away.

I am receiving error messages all the time My Twhirl says exceeded limitation, error receiving messages. At top it says Paused. All this when I have not received or sent tweets within hours. Also my avatars are missing sometimes.

What could the problem be and how can I fix it?

I cannot even seem to connect to my Twitter account through Twirl. I click connect and nothing happens. I can logon via the Web, though.

I just downloaded Twhirl, and I'm trying to connect, and when I hit the connect button, nothing happens! I have my username selected, so why isn't it working?

I have my default browser set to Camino.
Clicking on a link tweeted by a user doesn't launch the browser to the appropriate link.
The browser just sits and does nothing.

this issue has just arose for me in the last week or so; every time i attempt to view my following list on twitter I'm getting an error, "error receiving friends", any advice? And yes, believe it or not, I do have friends.

Sorry guys, I should have posted as a problem earlier. I love the app, please make it better!
Usability issues on OS 10.5.2 MacbookPro and Apple Cinema Display:
1) Cannot resize the application window by click-drag with mouse after it has been stretched vertically and then reopened n a small monitor.
2) Cannot use maxmize button to correct issue #1
3) There is no global menu item that corrects #1
4) If you open twhirl while running 2 monitors (laptop and external display) and close the application window while it is on the slave monitor, you cannot access it when restarting with just one monitor (laptop). The application opens, but the available view controls in the global menu do not reopen in it in the parent window.

Twhirl doesn't give itself write access. I just installed AIR and Twhirl. As always I use a "sudo"-like script for that. This script gives Admin-privileges to my non-Admin account for this installation. This way I installed both programs (twhirl u.0.8.2). (Btw. I don't know why I had to allow twhirl hdd-write and internet access. I sure understand the internet thing, but isn't there maybe some sandbox like feature in AIR that allows me to restrict hdd-access to writing data via some Dom-Data-like interface? I felt uncomfortable having to allow the program more rights than it needs. anyway, .. maybe that's not supported in AIR. so, back to my problem.)

I then had twhirl installed and I started it without Admin-rights just as every other program. I got a dialog to choose my username. I did. I tried to hit connect. nothing happened. I hit "delete passwort". Computer thought for a second and then nothing happened. Then I deleted the account. That worked. Then I was able to create it again. But I still couldn't connect. No reaction on hitting "connect".

Then I started twhirl.exe with Admin-rights and I got a dialog prompting me for a password. I put it in. twhirl loaded all my tweets and I could use it properly.

Then I closed twirl and started it without Admin-rights. I was still logged in. And twhirl said, it'll now load current tweets. But it didn't. And it didn't display any messages in the middle of the twhirl-window. And it said "0 total (0 replies, 0 .. 0..)"

However: Starting with Admin-rights again, didn't help either. No tweets were shown, but I got a message that there was a problem with loading the direct messages. But twhirl said it did load all tweets and all replies and that I had used 6/70 reqs. But still I had a total of 0 tweets displayed in twhirl.

So I deleted my account in twhirl and added it again. Still with admin rights. That worked and I got all my tweets in twirl again.

Then I started it again with Admin-rights and all my tweets were lost again. So the problem seems independent from whether I have write access to the directory.

Just as a note: The sudo command I use can be found here http://www.heise.de/ct/ftp/05/23/112/ as MachMichAdmin (the site is German)

Why is there a way to favorite people and look at your followers and favorites, but no way to look at and then contact one of the people I follow??

I think, that's a very important thing, but it is missing!!

Because, I delete all tweets right after reading and maybe five minutes later I want to contact one person. Maybe even worse, I have forgotten his nickname, so what to do? I can't even search him! (Especially if I'd follow a lot of people, although I personally don't do this...)
If I'd had a list of so-called ...? ...erm, people I follow, that would be much easier and faster!!

Getting an error downloading Twhirl, using both the manual option and the automatic option. Automatic option tries to download Adobe AIR, then near the end of the download encounters a problem and asks me to retry... Manual option appears to DL AIR ok, but when I try to install the Twhirl.air file, it tells me that the air file is no good. Running OSX 10.5.2

Cannot install Adobe Air.
Adobe AIR Application Installer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Tried manually downloading, still no satisfaction...

one day twhirl stopped working on my laptop. works fine on the desktop, but laptop is a no-go. also, can't get other twitter clients to work, so i think it's some kind of bigger issue, but not sure. ideas?
