Hello -- I've found a bug.
Mac OSX 10.6.2, Chromium 4.0.270.0 (34432), Chromed Bird 1.20
First, yes I do know that things are far from perfect using the mac builds right now, but:
The theme "Whispers" works perfectly, with the new icons to reply, etc, on the right side of the tweets. The bug, however, is that with the default theme "Chromified," there seems to be some kind of padding error such that the four graphic icons appear on the right side but underneath the tweet content. This has the effect of doubling the length that a tweet takes up in Chromed Bird even though there is no text at the bottom.
I wouldn't have reported it on mac except that, as I said, Whispers works perfectly, only Chromified is broken.
EDIT: Seems to have fixed itself with a restart. Very strange.

Allow a always on top option, so i can continue reading my tweets after clicking on links. Echofon for firefox behaves like that.

Have you tried clicking the link with middle button? The popup will remain open if you either middle click or Ctrl-click the link. It's not possible to change tabs and let the popup still open though.

Wow! Sorry, didn't tried it. Works perfectly.
Cool, I'll close this issue, and I just got another question for the upcoming FAQ. :)

On Linux, the popup stays open when I change tabs. Not sure which is the intended behaviour.

Move the theme selector to the options page.

Or at least have the option to not display it on the main panel. Will make the interface look a little cleaner for those who don't use it.
Yep, it really doesn't make much sense changing themes on the fly. I'm planning in keeping the combo box with a different purpose though, it'll be quite useful to support lists.

When replying to a DM it doesn't send a DM, it sends a public tweet.
Comments
Also, the RT and Share buttons in the DM tab are useless...

Sorry.

It would be nice to have a way to mark all tweets as read, or a way to mark individual tweets as read more quickly than hovering over them for a few seconds.
Many people read their tweets from more than one device/computer, so "unread" tweets can easily stack up if you read them from other sources.

I would love to see some sort of notification that you have mentions/replies instead of simply all tweets in your timeline. It's important for me to know when a reply is made, so it could either have a unique color for the bird when a reply comes in or simply the ability to only receive updates when mentions/replies are made.

I read a dm. I hit Reply, and I expect to see "d user" in the composition window.
Instead, I see @user.
I presume this sends a public reply, but I did not test.Comments
Yep that's a bug, it has been fixed by commit 0e630c5 but I haven't released it yet. I'll probably release a new version latter today and this bug will be gone. Thanks for reporting.

4 comments Created 18 days ago by mcenleyTweets abruptly stop being displayed on timelinebugxI happens quite a number of times that tweets stop appearing on the timeline which is a real (and probably ONLY) turn-off for this application.
Requesting to look into it.Comments
Hi, I've not been able to reproduce this, but I have some suspicion that it's related to Twitter's API rate limit.
Please, when this problem happen again could you check the "Remaining Twitter API Hits" field in the Options page?
If it's 0 then that's the problem. Usually consuming the rate limit too fast is an issue when you use multiple Twitter clients at the same time, as they are all consuming from the same limit.
To avoid this problem you can tweak the "Refresh Interval" values in the options page.Thanks mate, problem solved !
PS: Apologies to reply late and behave like an ass ! -
It will be great to have an option(or some hack) to set a different Twitter API address, which is quite useful for users from where twitter.com is blocked by firewall ( i.e. China ).
Comments
Some advanced options including overriding API's endpoint. Closed by 108cbae
Many third party API only support Basic Auth,but Chromed Bird required OAuth. Please support Basic Auth.
I really don't like the idea of using Basic Auth, not only because of the fact that Chromed Bird will have access to user's password, but mainly because we'd have to store it in an unsafe storage (localStorage), and that's BAD(tm).
But not everything is lost, according to one of Twitter's developers [1], they're going to implement a way in which one can get OAuth's access token given user's name and password, so, from a user's point of view, the application would behave just like if it were using Basic Auth, but storing only the access token and not the plain text password.
I guess I'll wait until this new API is ready instead of using Basic Auth, it probably shouldn't take too long.[1] - http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/msg/18b38db599f6ad98
Thanks!! Hope Twitter team quickly implement the new api.
BTW, during my tests I was able to access (and authenticate using OAuth) using the birdnest proxy (http://nest.onedd.net/). The authentication using OAuth was a bit hacky because I needed to tweak with the < form action"" > field in the proxied authentication page, but in the end it worked. I think I'll write a wiki page about how one can do the same.

I often use favorites to mark tweets to read later. It would be great if chromed_bird supported this also.
First priority for me would be able to mark them, second priority to go and view them.

I would also like to see this, although there is a risk of the interface becoming cluttered.
First part is supported by 16c2952 Hang on for the next release.

Show new tweets inside current page through DOM manipulation in a content script that will be loaded in every page.
This content script needs some kind of lazy loading for performance reasons, we don't want to slow down every website because of our content script. I'm thinking of something like dynamically adding aComments

This would be nice if it could be added as an optional feature that can be turned on or off. I don't think I'd always want my tweets to display instantly all the time.
-
In ver 0.51 the time between clicking on the bird button and the appearing of the popup has increased. At least this is my feeling. I tested that issue on my desktop and my laptop and on both it is slower than before.
Comments
I noticed that too, hopefully commit cd414b3 will improve it.

Add an option to change the browseraction icon, to get an chromifed one
Comments
Allowing users to dynamically 'upload' new icons is a tough one. I don't think it's really possible. One alternative though is to have multiple icons and letting the user choose one of them in the options page. Do you have any icon set in mind?
Also I plan in dynamically 'paint' the icons using canvas, so it wouldn't be necessary to include blue and red icons in the extension.

I think it's possible to upload browser action for users using npapi but it's not what I want you to do ! ^_^"
Actually, it's a option (like in gmail checker and google reader checker by destrubot or google tasks by me) to chosse between two (or more) sets of icons -
Move the "compose tweet" form to the bottom of the popup.
Comments
I plan in offering this as a config in the options page. The default one would be in the same place where it's today.

Like many twitter apps, just write an URL and when accepted, automaticaly recognize URLs and short them with bitly or one of these:

Yeah, this one is the first in my list of priorities for Chromed Bird. Wait until the weekend. :)

It seems that autoupdate doesn't work.
On chrome starter guide, it's told that version number must not start with 0Comments
I just tested it now, and it appears to be working fine, maybe it was just a network glitch or some caching issues. Did you try clicking "Update extensions now"?
According to http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/manifest.html#version : "they must be between 0 and 65535, inclusive, and non-zero integers can't start with 0."
So, I understand that it's okay to have 0.1 but it wouldn't be okay to have 01.1

I don't really know, I never succed in updating your extension via "Update extension now" button...
I just installed version 0.4 (available in the downloads tab) and clicked update extension now, and it updated it to 0.51. Could you try it there?
-
The released version at http://cezarsa.github.com/chromed_bird/ claims 0.5, and I successfully installed 0.5 on my work laptop just fine. I drove home and I can now get only 0.4, unless I pull the unpacked version out of Git. Whaaaa?
0.5 is looking good. Now, it just needs URL shortening and decoding... :-)

Looking at the html:
http://cloud.github.com/downloads/cezarsa/chromed_bird/chromed_bird_0.4.crx is on the release page
http://cloud.github.com/downloads/cezarsa/chromed_bird/chromed_bird_0.5.crx is in the version of the release page committed to Git.
Shift-reload forces Chrome to clear its cache
Now I see http://cloud.github.com/downloads/cezarsa/chromed_bird/chromed_bird_0.5.crx
So it apparently was the Chrome browser caching the launch page. Arggh!
-
It will be great if there's a functionality which allows us to share the current page, and shortens long url
Maybe also a direct link to twitter website.Comments
Lots of people are requesting integration with url shortening services. That's definitely going to be present on the next version. Thanks for reporting it so I won't forget. :)

Since Twitter implements a retweet feature, Chromed Bird do not work with
Comments
I'm really not sure yet if it worths implementing this feature. The main problem is that a great deal of people like to edit their RT's adding personal comments on the tweet. Twitter's new retweet feature doesn't allow that, you simply forward the tweet with no edits.
Maybe I could support both kinds of retweets but I don't wanna make users confused by that.

Currently, there are two link : Reply and RT
Maybe you can add a third, then link will work the following :
Reply : No change, same as currently
RT : Simple RT without personal comment
Share : RT with personal comment -
Currently we rely on Basic Auth, despite the fact that it works pretty well and that it's relatively secure through HTTPS, there are still security concerns on the client side because we're storing user authentication information inside Chrome's localStorage. Besides that, all tweets coming from Chromed Bird are shown by Twitter as "from API".
To improve security and correctly show tweets as "from Chromed Bird" we need change the authentication mechanism and use the OAuth protocol.
I'll surely work on this anytime soon, but if someone in the wild wants to give me a hand on this I'd greatly appreciate. :)Comments
Authenticating using OAuth protocol. Closed by 2348180
1.2.0 still Unable to pass OAuth under Iron 4.0.227.0 (30207). Freeze on "Please wait, authorizing Chromed Bird..."
Damn, I intended to support this, I even added the ability to manually enter the PIN code, but I forgot that I hide the PIN number while trying to communicate with the extension.
I'll fix this for the next version, meanwhile, if you can quickly grab the PIN number before it vanishes from the page, you can type it into Chromed Bird, and it should complete the authentication properly.Quickly grab worked. Had to find pin in cache pages, but it work for now.

Hi Ho :P
Great Addon for Chrome, made me switch from Firefox this time! :D
One issue i found just now was that every time i write a Direct Message, Chromed Bird sends it but the addon itself crashes in some way!
The loading icon is in an never-ending loop, my latest Tweets wont show up!
My solution to get normal functions is disable/enable extension!
I am not sure if that happened in earlier versions but in my case it happens!
Lates Chrome Dev version and lates Chromed Bird Version v.04!
Hope i could help!

Yeah, I agree that sometimes it's really annoying. I'm thinking about trying to mimic Chromes's behavior. I'll try to do something like if you click the link with the left mouse button, it will behave just like it does today, closing the popup and switching the focus to the new popup. But, if you click the link with the middle mouse button or Ctrl-click the link, it will open the new tab on background, keeping the popup open. I think that's possible.
If everything goes well you can expect this fix to be on the new version probably next Sunday. -
Adding scrollbars would ease the handling of more than 5 new tweets.
Comments
Do you think a scrollbar would be a better solution than the existing pagination icons?
i added a webkit scrollbar to the build i have, it seems to work well, and has fixed the flashing bug when the popup resizes :)
That's really cool Chobblr! Are you using the Git repository? If so you could use "git format-patch" to make a diff file and paste it as a GitHub Gist. Then I'd push your commit to the repository.
here is the pasted code : http://gist.github.com/229285 : you will have to change some things and it should not be added to any release yet unless ur taking snippets of the code due to the colour is wrong and some things i still like to tweak
Is it only a CSS change? I've updated it but I think I'm missing something, here it is how it looks in here: http://screencast.com/t/JowIu3J0
Feel free to keep tweaking on it. To fully support a scrollbar there'll need no be some changes to the javascript code. I'll probably work on it and on @'s and DM's tabs latter today or tomorrow. I'm thinking about having the tabs in the same place that today is occupied by the pagination icons. The scrollbar would be on the right side along the tweets timeline. -
The popup doesn't resize back after the "fade-in" of the tweet-textbox.

Unfortunately this is a known Chromium issue as reported is http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=26471
I'll leave this issue open until it gets fixed on the dev channel.Yay! Looks like it's been fixed on trunk, let's wait until the next dev channel release.

Glad to hear it fixed itself. :) I don't have a Mac so it's kinda hard to me to test on it. However this bug may be related to dynamically changing themes, and this is one thing I'll probably disable for the next release, only allowing theme changes through the options page.
