After much trouble with the earlier versions of Socialite things are mostly working now, but there are some things that may be bugs or possibly just unintuitive UI choices:
* The conversation view button is only sporadically available, even though some tweets that don’t show the button are definitely direct replies because there is an “in reply to” link when viewing the tweet online.
I can’t find any pattern to the behaviour of the conversation button showing. I thought it wasn’t showing in searches at all, but then I saw it was for some, but then I noticed that they were only tweets I had sent to others, but in “Mentions” there is one conversation button on a tweet from someone to me. I think the button might be working fine in the main timeline, just not in searches.
* Random yellow stars are showing up. Some tweets have yellow stars as if I’d bookmarked them, but I definitely haven’t. I can’t see any pattern to the appearance of the yellow, it’s not on all tweets. If I click on the star it goes white, if I go to my favourites the randomly yellow starred tweets are not favourites (as they shouldn’t be), and if I actually want to favourite one of these tweets I have to click the star once to make it white and then again to make it yellow and bookmarked.
* Not all tweets show a star to give the option of bookmarking. Is there something in the API that only allows you to bookmark tweets from people you’re following or that are directly to you?
* Retweets are published automatically. They used to just be inserted into the entry box, which I’d much prefer because sometimes I like to add my own commentary, or shorten it if the original tweet doesn’t fit after you add “RT @username”.
I’ve attached screenshots to show the yellowed stars and convo buttons.
