Well, this update has been overdue quite some time now but in the end I am back and finally here it is: Nymphicus for Windows 2.2!
This version is mainly a bugfix release with some nice new small additions as well as changes according to the current reality of the Twitter ecosystem. So what’s new?
New features
- Option to start Nymphicus minimized (in fact a user wish some time ago)
- Thumbnails of embedded images are now shown for Twitter
- Images are now uploaded to Twitter image service
- Compose: When an image is attached to a Tweet a small preview is shown on the upload button
- Compose: An added image to a tweet can now be removed again by clicking on the upload button with the right mouse button
- Thumbnail size of App.net images now bigger and the same as in Twitter
Functional changes
- Removed TweetMarker (commercial license needed) – I am aware this used to be a big plus in the past 🙁
- Removed all automatic scrolling code (which was the main source of temporarily freezing application)
- Updated about window to show the actually used libraries
- Added additionial optional debug output on Twitter timeline retrieval
- Removed TwitPic upload option
- Temporarily removed url unshortening for external services except Twitters own one
- Switched to .NET 4.5 (faster)
Bugfixes
- Different compose buttons are now only shown if Twitter/Facebook/Apn account exists
- Possible empty Views on parsing problems of Tweets – now they are simply skipped
- When following a new user the user info is updated
- The boarder around items did not fit into window on Windows 8
- Now the counter of characters left is right again as it is aware of the Twitter url shortening rules now
- Quite some possible crashes / empty timeline problems
And as it didn’t take to long till this update came – I had quite a hard discussion with WordPress so in fact it is already out for more than two weeks without this news entry 🙂
