Recently active problems in Seesmic tagged with twitter

I have found two bugs in twhirl for me, that started when i upgraded to 0.8.4, started using identi.ca, and did a wipe and reinstall then migrate of my mac.

bug 1. Whenever i start twhirl, it only remembers my twitter account name, and always forgets the password. It forgets my Seesmic, Friendfeed, and identi.ca accounts, even though i enter them in, and tell them to remember the accounts and passwords, and to open those accounts when opening twhirl. This is annoying because i have to reenter all my accounts each time i run twhirl.

bug 2. I like to crosspost my tweets to pownce and jaiku, and that is one of the reasons i use twhirl. Whenever i go into the settings for twitter, and try to resetup crossposting (which got disabled as part of this bug/update) it won't let me save the settings, only click cancel.

Twitter API Usage scale in Twhirl reach a maximum of 60 req/hour.
At the moment Twitter API limit is 100 req/hour, so... should be useful to increase this limit in Twhirl... :)

I am unable to upgrade from 0.81 to 0.82 or 0.83, nor can I uninstall twhirl.

I get the following message when I try to upgrade:

"Sorry. an error has occurred.

An error occurred while updating the application. Try updating it again. If the problem persists, contact the application author."

And if I try to uninstall Twhirl (by selecting more options and then clicking uninstall), I get the same message, except everywhere the above message says "updating" it says "uninstalling" instead.

When clicking the delete icon on a direct twitter message in Twhirl, I get the "Rate limit exceded, pasing for 5 minutes" message. Initially I thought this was due to having twhirl and socialthing going at the same time, but after shutting down socialthing, and waiting a couple of hours, and dropping the twhirl api request rate to 10/hour, I get the same thing.
Also, when hovering over the API health icon, it tells me that I've used (for example) 15 of 100 requests.

I think this may be down to the CSRF protection twitter added recently.

...well that's about it. starting yesterday, this has been happening. probably because of the new interface? idk, anybody else experience this?

Right to left twits (at least in Hebrew) have a reverse order of words.

For instance, instead of:
טוויטר שוב נפל
You will see:
נפל שוב טוויטר

I am unable to follow anyone on Twitter using Twhirl. Every time I do I get the "limit exceeded" message, even though Twhirl is still downloading new tweets.

twhirl crashes entirely upon launch.

I have two twitter accounts, one for fun, the other for business. The business account is protected and only I'm the only one on it, so far! I had tried to add someone to the business account using twitter but it reverts back to my fun account and adds them there. I tried using twhirl but I keep getting "limit exceeded, paused 5 minutes".

I'm having a problem similar but slightly different for other folks here.
When I launch Twhirl, I am prompted for my password. I see the messages for downloading tweets, DMs, etc, but I get "error receiving tweets, and a black window follows with no tweets. I then try to edit my twitter account (deleting and re-adding), and it isn't initially in my account window. I go to add it and it pops in as if it already exists. I am unable to use the "forget password" function as well. I have uninstalled both Twhirl (v.0.8.4) and AIR, and reinstalled, to no avail. I'm using Windows XPSP2. The same problem occurs for Friendfeed, where I'm prompted every login for my remote key. Thanks for your help.

Twhirl worked OK in v.0.8.2, but I upgraded to v0.8.3 and my Twitter password is no longer recognised. I have reset the password in Twitter, and tried uninstalling both Air and Twhirl, but with no luck. I just get prompted to re-enter the password over and again

Since the latest update, whenever I want to delete an accidental tweet, Twhirl never deletes it and my updates pause.

On Vista x64, I launch Twhirl and all is well. But, when I lock the machine using Windows-L, and then unlock using CTRL-ALT-DEL, Thwirl is still running, but the tweets area is completely blank until I relaunch the app.

Mac version of Twhirl doesn't support standard text undo/redo commands and corresponding keyboard shortcut (Cmd-Z).

A minor thing, but the linking of @names seems to hyperlink parts of email addresses as well (the first part of the domain name). A suggestion would be to only hyperlink @names if the @ is at the beginning of the update, or if the character before it is whitespace.

Seesmic links posted to twitter don't play anymore more for me, the page does come up, the video box just doesn't play.

If I take the video hash (ie: the QGHvhBmrST part of http://seesmic.com/videos/QGHvhBmrST) I can use that on other seesmic urls just fine, or go into the full seesmic site and find the video there and play it. It was working a couple of weeks back I'm sure, just doesn't now.

It appears that accessing the twitter API is not threaded in twhirl. So the UI is freezing while you update and then not clearing the UI queue so that if I was scrolling when you poll you suddenly allow all of those inputs (scrolling, clicking, etc) to replay and cause havoc in the UI. So, please flush the queue or prevent input (glass pan) and put up a wait icon while you're doing synchronous polling and/or thread the background operations

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.

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)

How do I make a video private to my Twitter
