Can it be true that no one have the same issues regarding missing input fields for username / Password in 2.0 beta 4 ?
Unfortunately beta 4 in the extras-testing depended on wrong library versions. The newer beta 4 update 2 has the right libraries, but a backend database may be corrupted already if you have used the older version.
To delete the database, use X Terminal and the following command:
Code:
rm -R /home/user/.microfeed
If you restart Mauku and/or Mauku Widget after that you should be able to start from scratch with new credentials.
I used to be a big proponent of Mauku (which was built for Jaiku, if I recall correctly, hence some of the missing features) but coming from Gravity on Symbian, there's several things that Mauku is missing (running the Beta 4 on my N900, btw)
1. Multiple accounts. This is crucial for me. I have 4 twitter accounts that I monitor/update, and I need to be able to use all of them at the same time (to switch instantly, without having to re-enter all my credentials each time)
2. Update from the timeline - I'm confused as to why I need to back out to the main screen just to update. Why not add a 'New Post' button to the options, or better yet, allow me to simply start typing from the Overview?
3. Twitpic support would be cool.
4. A 'replies' area would be cool, too, where I could simply see a single stream of all the @replies to me.

Henrik, thank you very much for your continued work here (and sorry I did not get a chance to meet with you at the Summit).
Based on talks with others, I think I have a good idea for a future feature: the ability to filter OUT tweets based on tags.
For instance, RogerS commented that he needed two Twitter accounts to address different subjects. I can see value in that, but also in the obverse-- allow readers to say "I'm not interested in that particular topic" and exclude the referenced tags from their read list.

That is supported already. Just configure a new provider in the "advanced" mode. (There will be an enhancement for Microfeed Configuration application to make it more user friendly.)

I have really consider that. Similar button than in Calendar or Email application (Modest) would work.

Aha, figured it out (you have to name it something different, like 'Twitter2' or something.
I don't mean to make harsh judgments - I've used Mauku on the N800 and N810, and being the only Twitter client for Maemo at the moment, Mauku is part of the reason I'm even able to pretend to use the N900 as a primary device, and I'm definitely glad to have it.
I'm just used to using Gravity on my Symbian-powered devices, and it's far more advanced (of course, it's a commercial app, so the developer has more time/motivation/resources) as well (and I'm aware of that, too).
