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'm thinking about attempting to re-design the UI for the wordpress plugin (in the comments section mainly.. and making it easier for people to understand where to click in order to leave a video comment). is this something that is already "in the works" by someone (or by seesmic), or should i go forward in "tweaking". secondly, who would be interested in this revised UI for the "leave a video comment" link?
In the title bar of twhirl, all of the text can be clicked on and highlighted. This makes it more cumbersome to drag the window around. Is there any chance you could make the text in the title bar unselectable so it is easier to drag the window around?
Perhaps if you set selectable="false" in the Text components in the TitleBar. Not sure if that would actually allow you to drag the twhirl window around while "sent x req/60 min" text.
I felt stupid as I poked around the interface for ten minutes trying to find the button to Twitter my video. It turned out that it had already been posted automatically. This is great, except I didn't realize it.
Two suggested quick fixes: 1.) add a note on the settings panel that mentions that each new video will be auto-posted; 2.) add a notification message upon Save that confirms that it has been posted to the relevant networks.
