Current tasks can be paused via the PAUSE button, but tbh it isn't that effective.

Waiting tasks can be paused by right click > PAUSE

I'm not sure if this is by design, but when I cancel a task, it keeps going for a while (until the subtask is finished), before it can be cancelled. Would it be possible to make it more immediate?

you are thinking of the pause button, you can pause one action by
RIGHT CLICK > PAUSE

on a specific action

What action? Cancelling an action basically just sets flag "cancel when you can cancel nicely".


If it isn't cancelling quickly, probably I have forgot to get the action to check for the "should cancel" flag. So let me know the actions and I can improve that

rollover tips for major icons - Re: Suggestions / feature requests / improvements

Post by frankadams »

in the process of learning the software, I want to know what the name of the function is.
1. when I roll my mouse over the icon, have it pop up what it does.
2. when I click on a function - put the name of the function at top of the screen - so I know where I am and condition the name.

Hi Martin, an idea for a function that would be really useful for me. I already follow quite a few people that I followed outside of Twitterdub and I'd like to unfollow the ones that don't follow me back. The slight nuance vs the current options are that where I don't tick the box that says "Only Unfollow if followed by bot", I'd want it to still look at the "Unfollow after X Days" option as well.

So the process would be:

Do they follow me? If yes, then skip.
If no, did I follow them through Twitterdub? If no, then unfollow.
If yes, has it been X days since I followed them? If yes, then unfollow. If no, then skip.

The third of those checks doesn't seem to be in place at the moment, so it's unfollowing people very soon after I follow them. I'd like to leave at least 5 days (I've selected that option), but it seems to ignore that if I don't tick the second box about only looking at people followed by the bot.

Thanks!

The program will only know the days since followed if the bot followed the user. As it is <edit> twitterdub></edit>that stores this data - NOT Twitter.
If no, did I follow them through Twitterdub? If no, then unfollow.
If yes, has it been X days since I followed them? If yes, then unfollow. If no, then skip.
so what you want is, unfollow all if not from twitterdub, and if from twitterdubcheck time since if possible.


Will make a note to check how it all works.

Twitter in this case, but yes - unfollow everyone that isn't on my Whitelist or following me if I didn't follow them through TwitterDub. For everyone else, take into account the Number of Days since I followed them option and unfollow if more than that.
