Hi Martin,

Sorry this still isn't working for me - the bot will follow the same user with more than one of my accounts.

Also the step (from the logs) 'Merging all processed items for all accounts to share' seems to take a very long time. Can be as long as half an hour to an hour just for that one step in the process.

[martin@rootjazz]

Merging processed items is proportional to
a) how many accounts
b) how many items each has processed before.

Sorry this still isn't working for me - the bot will follow the same user with more than one of my accounts.

Sorry about this. They must be other issues (or perhaps repercussions from the previous bug)


The duplications, are they from new processed items, or old?

I mean, if you create a list of 10 items, and shared those over your accounts.
Then repeat the actions, are all ignored? Or some processed again?

If the above is working correctly, then I imagine the issue is related to the old bug, that some items were followed but not recorded, so when try to follow again, they are not marked as already followed.


Let me investigate as I can perhaps code a "update all already following" bulk routine to handle the second

the next update will allow you to update existing followings for all accounts

follow tab
right click
scrape followings and save to existing logs

then try again shared follows. No more duplicates *should* occur
