Simply press the sign-in button in the app, wait for the browser to launch, enter your credentials in the browser and Twitter will give you a new PIN.

Had that myself after the 3.1 upgrade, others also reported that. Seems to be a general issue with the URL handler in SFOS, not Piepmatz-specific. Try Mimer https://openrepos.net/content/llelectronics/mimer, reset everything and restart. That fixed it for everybody so far.

Is it possible to tweak the system so that piepmatz get's opened when I press on a tweet in the event screen? Otherwise a very nice and well done app!

Theoretically with a system patch and some extensions to Piepmatz itself. Volunteers are welcome for that - I need to see if and when I have time for that.

I have the option to open with webcat and microtube, maybe microtube approach will work (no idea if that is the preferred way to do this, ideally it would show only for links that contain twitter in them and microtube for youtube, but don't think it's supported yet, so will show as an option for all links)

edit: I believe this is the commit which does that: https://github.com/Michal-Szczepaniak/microtube/commit/7178ecd5970652625...

There's microtube-url.desktop file created and then in post there are a couple of xdg-mime commands to register it, not sure if piepmatz accepts urls straight away from command line though

Found the code, howevee also Zasterbanker lost tje registration and after I reentered the code to Piepmatz it asks me to accept th license at start-up. This didn't happen before. Any hint what's wrong?

Then most certainly something in the OS changed with respect to WiFi MAC address, 2nd SIM card or similar things. Also possible: Some temporary hiccup in the detection functionality.

Suddenly, after several months, my registration got lost and Piepmatz asks mw again for a support code. I hope I can still find the old code.

If not, please let me know - and be sure to tell me the e-mail address which you used for your purchase. Then your key can be re-sent.

Hi, thanks for the great app! Is it possible to have an option to show previous mesages older than 30 days? I like looking back at old messages sometimes. Maybe an option for < or > 30 days?

WerkWolf's picture

WerkWolf

Sun, 2019/01/13 - 14:01

These 30 days are set by the Twitter API. Of course, a shorter period would be possible, but no older messages unfortunately. Therefore, changes in that area are unlikely...

I don't use Twitter that intensively, but I want to get notifications from a few accounts I follow. Does Piepmatz forward notifications from subscribed/followed accounts?

WerkWolf

Fri, 2019/01/04 - 19:09

So far, there are only notifications for mentions, retweets and new followers.

Thanks for answering. Really great Twitter client - gladly donated some extra! :)

Noticed a translation(?) issue on the welcome page, should probably have some content rather than % 1, see the screenshot:

Yes: "404 not found" and "Please follow someone to see their tweets". Probably a Twitter issue yesterday evening, as it seems to be normal now.

Please see my comment on https://github.com/Wunderfitz/harbour-piepmatz/issues/40 - I haven't implemented it yet as there is no better positioning-after-reload so far. Once I implemented that, also the auto-update will come. Simply subscribe to the issue and get an update once I work on it.

Thanks for the screenshot. The tiny little detail "United States" is the reason. Unfortunately, we can't sell to the US...
