Annoying Tweetie habits

First off, keep in mind that the twitter client I use on my desktop is Tweetie, so all though this is about annoying tweetie failings, it’s still the client I choose, so it’s the client I think is best. That said, there are some things I really dislike about it.

1. Every new post window is drawn in the same exact place, dead center on the screen. There is no way to change this.
2. Since every new post window is a completely newly created window, the various OS X preferences for spelling, auto-correction, grammar, etc don’t stick. Tweetie is the only application I am using, besides Firefox, that is not supporting OS X’s automatic Spelling correction; and it’s not that it can’t. It can. If you turn it on EVERY SINGLE TIME you make a new post.
3. No support for new RT feature. The RT feature has been around for over a month, but not in Tweetie.
4. No support for lists. The list feature has been around for a couple of months, but not in Tweetie.
5. AppleScript support? What AppleScript support? I end up running two twitter clients, one for using (Tweetie) and one for scripting (Twitterrific).
6. Limited URL Shortening support. Tweetie supports 5 shortners. None that I want to use. No way to add others.
7. Font control? What font control? Tweetie’s idea of font control is letting you set the size to 10-14 pts. That’s it. Don’t like the font choice (some piece of crap sans-serif Helvetica-ish font)? Suck it.
8. Page-up/Page-down don’t scroll the tweet list, and the ‘Enter’ doesn’t submit a tweet.
9. Tweetie uses a pseudo-QuickLook window to show image links. It is NOT a QuickLook window, it is simply made to look like one, so it has none of the controls of a Quicklook window, but it also has none of the controls of a regular Mac window. There is no way around this, afaict, this is simply how images are treated by Tweetie. Options? You don’t need no steenkeen options!
10. Right-click on a URL and you get a contextual menu for the entire tweet. That is to say, the URL is ignored as a rclick zone. Sure would be nice to have some options there, like the ability to just COPY the URL.
