Tabs in Gwibber : have 1 per account - Difference between Home & Messages

[Xavier Guillot]

Hello,

I have 2 questions regarding the tabs in Gwibber :

- if there is not possible to get back the multi-column view, would it be to have on the icon menu bar on the top of Gwibber, a selection (in addition to Home - Messages - Mentions - Private Messages...) of tabs for each account we get in Gwibber :
Identica - Twitter - Facebook - StatusNet...

Clicking on 1 such tab would show only the posts on this account, this would make easier to not "loose" some messages in the whole timeline.

- what is the difference between the 2 first tabs "Home" and "Messages" : I always see the same timeline for each, ie the people I've subscribed ? So I don't understand, perhaps I'm missing something.

Shouldn't be "Messages " be our own tweets / dents ? Those are also available in the "Users" section, when we select our name, but it would be more accessible.

Thanks !

Today, I noticed a difference : a dent with an image link was in the "Home" tab, but not in "Messages"...

Also, could the tab "Replies" include mentions, too ? FOr the moment, it only shows replies made to our own posts.

But if someone sends direclty a dent / tweet with our name (mention), it does not appear in "Replies" tab, so it's lost in the whole timeline, and I missed one because I did not see it...

Thanks !

We do need to make that presentation more intuitive, hopefully we can come up with a design that works well for the next development cycle. I really want to get the multicolumn view back as well. The "Home" stream is everything, an aggregation of all the other streams. The others are there to help you filter the results and just view what you want. This should really get re-factored into a single view with ways to choose what you want to see. Ideally with a way to "pin" a view and add a new column, so you can configure how you want to view each column.

The "Replies" tab does include mentions, not just replies to your posts.

Thanks for the answer and the news about multi-column view :)

Yes, the mention is now on the "Replies" tab, it was not a few hours ago at the time it was posted (only in the "Home" and "Messages" tabs).
