Hi,

I tried to package it for Fedora, I want to know if one dep in cmakelist named "LIBMESSAGINGMENU" is this one:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libmessaging-menu0

Can you help me?

Thanks.

As the title said, Image Preview don't works on some tabs (at least it's the case for the "Direct Messages" tab).
Therefore, check all tabs and sub-tabs (Mentions, etc.) to be sure that "Image Preview" feature works everywhere.

I think that I only have this problem on XFCE, which don't use the notify-OSD daemon but xfce4-notifyd instead (better looking, more customizable —and by built-in settings in addition— by the way).

Shortly: I sometimes have a notification with "New tweet from XXXX" title but with no tweet content.
And if I check in the Birdie window, I see this tweet correctly with the tweet content.

I don't have looked more to see if we can found a common pattern between these tweets that appeared empty >in the notification< through. But perhaps there is none. I think it was all tweets with image, but not sure at all. Perhaps it's again a parsing problem (regarding notifications only therefore, which don't make much sense, as it's global the parsing I think) that prevents completely the tweet content to be shown there. I don't know…

[EDIT1] Just seen this problem again in a notification and no image link in this tweet. Just few words with a normal link (here to twitter.com/search/realtime?q=XXXX&src=typd). The only "special" things I see is that the link contains, in the XXXX part, some % characters.
%20 for space encoding in the URL, and some others like %9C %C3 (among others so).

[EDIT2] And now, a new one again. This time, no very special characters (just "?"). Strange!
Just a small text + a classic URL: http://xxxx/xxx.html?utm_source=xxx&...
But very long the URL through... (and as t.co is not used for notifications…). So, maybe it's because of the length of that URL that the notification content was not shown, but I can however send a VERY long notification from my terminal (using notify-send) and the xfce4-notifyd daemon will show me this one without problem, i.e. I'll see the content sent. And in fact, even with the SAME TWEET CONTENT (copy/pasted to my terminal), I can send it using notify-send and see it without problem. So, it's very strange… but happens often when I'm on XFCE anyway…

Function to block Hash and Applications which was written Tweet to View on Timeline

1. Make sure no Birdie process remains, using:
   ps -e | grep birdie
2. In your Desktop Environment (Cinnamon in my case), go to All Settings > Network > Network proxy
   and set Method: Automatic, Configuration URL: /the/path/to/myproxyrules.pac
3. Start Birdie.

What happens (only useful lines listed)?
[_LEVEL_INFO 15:01:07.400886] Birdie.vala:175: Birdie version: 0.2.1+trunk
[_LEVEL_INFO 15:01:07.400972] Birdie.vala:177: Kernel version: 3.5.0-18-generic
Cannot make call: Cannot resolve proxy hostname ()
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

What should happen?
Birdie start normally. As all my other programs that use Internet too (Google Chrome, Firefox, etc.).

[Additional information]
This is my .pac proxy rules file, a basic one in fact:
function regExpMatch(url, pattern) {
try { return new RegExp(pattern).test(url); } catch(ex) { return false; }
}

function FindProxyForURL(url, host) {
if (shExpMatch(url, "http_://SOMEURL.tld/_")) return 'SOCKS5 myserverhere.lan:theporthere';
if (regExpMatch(url, "regex-url-here")) return 'SOCKS5 myserverhere.lan:theporthere';
[repeated line for other rules]
return 'DIRECT';
}

=> shExpMatch (built-in function) is for wildcard rules.
=> regExpMatch (added function) is for regex rules.
All programs work correctly (and as set, when starting a browser and visiting some URL, the websites I set* use correctly the proxy I set, and the default rule for the rest is a direct connection).
Only Birdie quit unexpectedly at startup with the error listed above: "Cannot make call: Cannot resolve proxy hostname ()"

• Which are some domain names that Birdie will never try anyway, as very specific.
  And else, it should be OK too anyway, just that it'll not be a direct connection, but it should also work even if Birdie was using one of these URL. As the proxy used in my rules is totally up and working fine, for example in other programs like Chrome as said above (and responding to ping, etc.). All the system (and so, all programs) use these rules so, as defined globally.

The contextual actions (reply, quote retweet) should have tooltips in case a user isn't familiar with the icons.

If I try to delete a direct message, I've a confirmation box, but when I click on Yes to confirm, nothing happens.
Even if I quit Birdie and start Birdie again to refresh, the DMs are still there.
I went to twitter.com to see if the direct messages were gone, but no.
Tried with 2 different direct messages.

Make the ability to copy links to individual tweets and go to it not only the client but also in the browser

Hello, I caught a bug!
If I set main window to mode "Always on Top", new tweet window is hidden behind the main.
Elementary OS (Luna 0.2)
Birdie 0.3+

I'm having an issue that started when I switched between users: Birdie is only revealing one tweet at a time. There is no timeline. When a new tweet hits my timeline, it replaces the one currently displayed so that only one tweet is visible.

I think that this is pretty anoying due that you don't always remember the exact name of a twitter account or hashtag. I think it's important to fix it

I just installed Birdie 0.3 on Fedora 19 and accidentally made a retweet, only to find that Birdie doesn't allow me to "undo" it. Can you please include support for that? Thank you.

For this moment upload Pictures releasing only in Imgur, please release function uploading images from official Twitter images.

In dconf-editor, a value to disable notification sounds can be great, I think. :)

I would like to package birdie for gentoo linux. Could you please tag the 0.3 release for that?

Can't build the app on Arch Linux.

I am running BIrdie in LInux Mint 16 XFCE 64 bit

When clicking a link in a tweet most times the machine will freeze and then exit to a command prompt (from where I Reboot the whole machine)

DEfault browser is Firefox.

Optionable function to not show All users retweets on Timeline

When I try to tweet an image from the app it seems that it was tweeted but there's no tweet at all, so I have to open twitter.com and tweet it from there

Running on elementary luna, I can't seem to be able to tweet from it.

In the profile view, the background of profile and the background of the lastest tweets shoud be different. (darker ?)

Daniel Fore (danrabbit) wrote on 2013-04-02:

In the official twitter apps, there's a sort of "Cover photo" that's used as a background.

Versions

birdie 0.2+r217-0+pkg7precise1
birdie-granite 0.3+r306-0+pkg13precise1
(I'm not sure what the difference is. Birdie's about page says 0.3+ )
elementary OS Luna x86_64

Using:

• ppa:birdie-team/stable
• ppa:versable/elementary-update

Steps to reproduce

• Launch birdy
• Confirm regular activity updating
• Close birdy to background (window close)
• Suspend, then resume
• Open birdy from background
• Confirm no activity updates (tried F5, Ctrl+R, mashing keyboard, scrolling up and down)

One feature I really miss from the Twitter app in OSX coming to Birdie is the availability of shortcuts.

Some of the main ones to note would be

• Ctrl + n - starts new tweet
• Ctrl + Enter (While composing tweet) - Send tweet

I'll list more when I get my mac back from the shop and contribute if and when I can.

Otherwise, great work!

The notification should show the avatar rather than the Birdie icon.

See screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/Ij3v0GL.png

P.S.: Also, but I think it's not possible if using "Notify OSD" for the notifications sadly, remove the little sentence at top right of notifications (the begin of the tweet content followed by "…"), as already shown fully just below. It's not useful and make the notifications overfilled unnecessarily. And as we don't have much time to understand what happens then read before disappear, especially if we've notifications from other programs at the same time (or multiple notifications from Birdie itself, even if personally I've never had more than one as reported as bug some days ago), removing the unnecessary content is great I think, to make the notifications more light and quicker to read (easily), as in Echofon for Mac for example (which uses Growl for the notifications). By the way, sadly, seems that we can't set "10 seconds" (for example) for the notification duration (in general, not Birdie specific I mean here), even with a third party tool as already tested. Too bad because the notifications disappear too quickly according to me.

Generally speaking, when you send a notification (either in terminal by using notify-send or in other ways), it's managed differently according to the daemon used: notify-OSD for Unity/Gnome-Shell/Cinnamon/etc. and xfce4-notifyd for XFCE.

The default behavior for notify-OSD when we click on a notification is to open the program (Birdie) I think.

The default behavior for xfce4-notifyd when we click on a notification is to hide the notification and not open the program (Birdie).

(which is bad as, in addition, the links are not clickable with this daemon, and clicking anywhere on the notification don't bring the Birdie main window on foreground to let us click quickly on this link included in the notification)

Geary (mail client) seems therefore to have used a clever system that detects the notification daemon we use (maybe by detecting if the process xfce4-notifyd exists) to act differently for showing notifications.

I've Geary in stable version and I see that, only when using XFCE, the notification have a bonus button called "Open": http://i.imgur.com/TF8izRx.png

=> So, click anywhere = default behavior (close the notification only)
=> And click on the "Open" button = open the program (to read the message quickly)

Can be good to act in the same way for Birdie notifications on XFCE too:
http://i.imgur.com/lbHzEwy.png

=> If the process xfce4-notifyd exists, just add a button "Open" below too, to show the Birdie main window when we click on it.

(here to bring the Birdie main window to click on this bit.ly link)

The currently login screen is just plain ugly.
I would prefer a white background with 2 blue buttons with no icon on it.

Just like in one of DanRabbit's recent mockups.

http://danrabbit.deviantart.com/art/Friends-397703998

This behavior was part of Gwibber.

When a new tweet arrives, it isn't shown automatically, but the user has to scroll up. This is helpful in that you don't "lose your place" when reading old tweets.

I think that, >regarding the notifications<, Birdie should use the short t.co format for the links.
Was like that in my previous popular client and I think it's more logical.
Because in notifications, we only want to see short information. And only the useful ones.
Faster seen, better!
Because: Less distraction -> less work for the brain -> fewer dropouts regarding the attention -> more concentration on a long period.

Especially as, in addition to saturate notifications (when tag(s)+mention(s)+multiple links are present, it's hard to understand the notification quickly in few seconds before it disappears... especially if we were very busy/focused on coding for example at this time), it's very often redundant, like this:
-> 10 things you should not do on social networks http://a-blog-here.tld/t/10-things-you-should-not-do-on-social-networks-9564

I clearly prefer to see a light notification, like this one:
-> 10 things you should not do on social networks http://t.co/abcxdef
[especially when combined to the rapid recognition of the source/guy thanks to the future avatar included in notifications]

As anyway, it's only if we are interested by the title that we'll click on the notification to open the Birdie window...
...and therefore having Birdie opening, allowing us to see the normal link there (not in the short format) before clicking on it.

And, regarding specifically notify-OSD (not the default XFCE one, etc. so) on GNU/Linux, as we've clickable links directly in notifications, maybe it's possible to have a tooltip (title attribute in HTML) when hovering these t.co links to see the long version of the link, in bonus. Even if I don't think it's possible as the links in notifications are automatically generated regarding the clickable part, I think. In this case, IMHO, it's not so important to know this information anyway (even if it's always better regarding security, as some trusted people we follow can have their account hacked but...).

Anyway, Echofon creator(s), regarding their Mac version at least, have chosen the short t.co format for the notifications too (Mac guys love light things in general I have to say), so it's not just me. :)
But it's totally opinion here. And it's for that reason that you'll found [Opinion] in the title. ;-)
So, what do you things guys using Birdie? and the team, what do you things too?
Eventually, can be a dconf value: links-use-short-format-in-notifications TRUE/FALSE for example.
As some Twitter clients use the short format, some other the long. And that it's always good to let what people are used to, I think, for things like that.

People, let us know your opinion so! :)
Want this behavior by default? Want it as a possible option? Both (option, enabled by default)?

I do not get "notify-osd"-style notifications when someone tweets something (I checked the github code in Utils/notifications, and I think see icon-name, summary etc.). Is there something I'm missing?

I also used the -d option to get more info when a new tweet arrives (but the only confirmation is that it gets added to the cache).

Reported by Arturo Torres Sánchez on 2013-05-03

Currently Birdie only detects URLs that start with http(s)://, but Twitter uses a different algorithm. This is a problem for the character count.

Twitter provides code for the detection in the following GitHub repos:

https://github.com/twitter/twitter-text-objc
https://github.com/twitter/twitter-text-rb
https://github.com/twitter/twitter-text-java
https://github.com/twitter/twitter-text-js

We can use them as a base for Vala-based detection.

I have set limit notification to 30 & tweet-notification true from dconf. But it still only shows notification of most-recent tweet (even-though it displays total number of tweets in unity-launcher & messaging-menu on Ubuntu 13.10 just fine). Notification bubble for rest of the tweets are suppressed.

Is this how it supposed to be?

Hello there,
Sometime when I post a new tweet, Birdie crashes with this error in log :

I'm on Ubuntu 13.04

It's a file that allows software centers to show off applications in a slick way:
http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/appdata/

http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=STstjvcY

Most Twitter clients do this

When replying to a tweet, all participating users are mentioned

If I reply to @foo's tweet where @bob and @alice are mentioned, the reply if prefixed not only with @foo but also @bob and @alice

Please release support Bit.ly short service for links

I've noticed Birdie 0.3 only fetches the last 22 tweets. Is support for loading older tweets on demand up for consideration?

I tried with the command line birdie --hidden, and it didn't work, sometimes I don't want to see the app open but only the notifications. So I guess that it'd be cool if you implement this

EDIT: also tried with birdie --start-hiden and birdie -s and it didn't work either, even after a logout/login

Please add description and website link to repository, something like the "Birdie - Twitter client for elementaryOS" and "http://ivonunes.net/birdie".

... would be really fine to have.

I don't know about others, but for me this is the primary way of using Twitter - based on keywords, hashtags, etc. At the moment, one can really only view one search at a time and there are no saved searches.. I imagine adding an additional panel per search and configuring notifications for those is not trivial, but would be really cool if you considered this sometime (soon :)).
