TweetDeck v0.18.1b Details

TweetDeck v0.18.1 is primarily a bug fix release, hence the .1 version number. There should be a much more interesting v0.19 at the end of the week. Here is what has been updated:

  • Added Retweet button for 12seconds videos in the 12seconds column
  • Added a "Tweet Colors" button to the settings window > Colors/Font tab to auto tweet your color scheme (somebody asked for it and it was a 2 minute job :-)
  • Added links underlined in tweets
  • Added single click to activate links - rather than having to click on the column to activate it then the link to actually go there now everything should be a one click operation whether TweetDeck is the application in focus or not
  • Updated hashtags to link to search.twitter.com - previous hashtags pointed to hashtags.com but not all hashtags are supported so have changed url to point to search.twitter.com
  • Fixed global search where contains # character such as #140
  • Fixed encoding problem with url shorteners - twurl was cutting off url to be shortened at & symbol
  • Fixed not remembering primary font bug - this was actually only happening when black was chosen as the primary font 
  • Fixed tweet box character count when replying to multiple people
  • Fixed URLs ending with . or ) regular expression
  • Fixed link leakage problem - related to fixed URL regular expression, occasionally if you clicked on the text of a tweet where there were no links, it would link off somewhere completely unrelated - this was actually caused by a link from a tweet above "leaking" over - this should not happen anymore
  • Fixed application quit bug in Windows - in Windows, choosing Exit from the system tray (whilst minimized), or Exit from the menu bar closed the window but not the application, TweetDeck.exe was still running in the Task Manager. This process had to be force quit in order to open TweetDeck again. Now it should quit completely and cleanly.
That's all for this release, see you all very soon for v0.19

Is there a faq? I set up groups but I don't remember how I did and I would like to set up another one. Help?

Hi, please email me hello@tweetdeck.com - can you explain how your TweetDeck is not allowing you to save?

I have 2 monitors and can't move tweetdeck between them. Is this limitation in tweetdeck or air?

I use tweetdeck at work, and love it, but it doesn't retrieve tweets, and the majority of the buttons at the top don't work. I have uninstalled (tweetdeck and AIR), what do I do to get it to work?

Can you send me a screenshot of what is going on? hello@tweetdeck.com

Getting an Error# 2032 while trying to install Tweetdeck via the Adobe AIR Marketplace (which says to contact the application author). Previously installed Twhirl with no problems...do I need to uninstall Twhirl for Tweetdeck to install properly, or -- ? Running Mac 10.5.4 on a pre-Intel PB.

Iain Dodsworth said...
Hi, no you do not have to uninstall Twhirl to get TweetDeck to install. Try downloading the air file directly via http://tweetdeck.com/beta/TweetDeck_0_18_1.air

Tweetdeck recently stopped retrieving tweets for me. Other Twitter clients still work. Tweetdeck only retrieves Replies and Search results. Any suggestions for debugging this?

I've been notified of this recently, it seems like there's been an intermittent change in the Twitter API but I'm still investigating. Expect your tweetdeck to magically start working again at some point - seems rather odd. I'll track down what's going on.

Have returned to Tweetdeck, it seems very solid, and I can appreciate the whole extra column things.

While it could do witha little restyling (and removal of unused columns) congrats on making it so effective.

Hi Iain, when's the next release ? I'm very impatient to see it and I think I'm not the only one in this situation !!

Love Tweetdeck but one thing has me stumped. If I save a group and then close the column - is it gone? I'd like to save groups and then be able to open them up and check tweets from those particular followers on an as needed basis without selecting group members each time.

Iain Dodsworth said...
Hi Pat, unfortunately yes it is gone BUT I'm working on a version which will have more fully featured Group management.

Could you do it fast? ;)

Hi, I've enjoyed learning Tweetdeck but have a couple of questions. I tried to find a FAQ or how to unsuccessfully. If there is one, feel free to point me in that direction :) 1. I added a group, selected the people, hit save - it just disappears. Any idea where it is? 2. I apparently did a search when I started, it keeps showing me the search. How do I delete it? Or could it be a search that uses one of my terms? Again, how would I delete it from the column. 3. How do I add more columns than four? 4. How do I add groups to each column. 5. Will the groups disappear when I shut down my computer? Thanks for your help with these questions.

If these things change -
1. Disappearing Groups and
2. Disappearing Filters -
TweetDeck would, I think, be my only Twitter client. It's so superb otherwise, fast, responsive, customizable, and it just works. Keep going with the revisions!

Couple of us are using this at work. It is fantastic, but one thing has us stumped. When I create a new group it doesn't give me the full list of the people I'm following to choose from. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for the great app.

Dave said...
Okay, I just figured out the problem (my last posting). It only shows people who have posted within a certain timeframe. Thanks again for a useful tool that will improve how I use Twitter.

I changed my twitter id from @myvinespace to @cherylwolhar and now my tweetdeck does not work. I suspect I need to change the id it is displaying but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to do it. I even re-installed tweetdeck...
