Fixing notifications in DestroyTwitter

 

Since fixing the Twitpocalypse bug in DestroyTwitter 1.6.4 Beta, a new problem has arisen regarding notifications—they aren’t showing up. This is only for some people, so it might not be happening to you. If it is, you can correct the issue with a simple text editor. Go into the Documents/DestroyToday/DestroyTwitter folder. Inside that is a folder with your username. Inside that is a notifications.xml file. Open it, and change all the values to zero (0). If you have the issue, some values, if not all, will be NaN. Save the file and open DestroyTwitter. Here’s what the final file should look like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<mostRecent>
	<home>0</home>
	<replies>0</replies>
	<messages>0</messages>
	<groups>0</groups>
	<search>0</search>
</mostRecent>

  1. Thanks! I was getting irritated that they weren’t working in Windows 7. I didn’t even have the notifications.xml file in my folder, so I just created one and pasted the code in. Works great.

  7. This problem still seems to still exist with 1.7.2 Beta and editing the xml file doesn’t seem to fix it. I’m not sure if this makes a difference, but I’m running Windows 7 RC1. Any ideas or suggestions?

  9. Hi (again),

    I was wrong.
    My ‘notepad’ was not saving changes in the file.
    Now it works great!

    Thanks!
