First off, the menu now contains some useful options:

• Quickly Enable/Disable automatic updating.
• Manually update.
• View settings.
• View past sync history.

Clicking on View Status Messages will yield the log window:

Updates and Errors will be logged for review.

Clicking on Settings from the tray menu will invoke the all new Settings dialog:

Select the Twitter URL — no need to find your RSS link, just enter your profile URL (e.g twitter.com/davux) and it will be resolved for you.

Choose an update interval, and select whether or not you’d like to cause an update event when a reply is found.

You can also now create a list of words to “ignore.”  These words will automatically reject the tweet regardless of any other settings.

Choose to update Digsby, and or execute a command, or write to a file when an update is found.  DigsbyStatus.exe is no longer required, and a focus bug has been resolved.

DigTweet can now automatically run when windows starts up, and can also optionally start updating upon start.

Updates will be passed down in the form of a message informing you that a new version is available.

Enjoy!

New Features:

• Choose to ignore replies so they don’t end up as your status message.
• Choose the update interval.
• Run graphically or from the command line.
• Save settings between sessions.

Due to some of the limitations of .NET, I’ve compiled two versions, one for strictly graphical users and one for mixed-mode users.  The two versions are functionally equivalent, however the console version will flash the window when launching, whereas the GUI version will not attach to the console window which it is launched from.

DigTweet 1.1 Graphical (Recommended)

DigTweet 1.1 Console

Microsoft .NET Framework v2.0 is required.

DigsbyStatus is included.

It isn’t a full XML parser and could probably be broken pretty easily by other RSS feeds, so I wouldn’t recommend trying that.

Using the utility is easy, just make sure the DigTweet.exe and DigsbyStatus.exe are in the same folder, and pull up a command prompt.

DigTweet.exe RssLink

So for example, to sync to my feed, I would enter:

DigTweet.exe http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/14261383.rss

You can find your Twitter RSS feed at the bottom of your personal page (not your homepage, that link will go to a feed of everyone’s status).

If you like, you can make a single-click batch file. Just open notepad and enter the following:

DigTweet.exe http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/14261383.rss

Change the RSS path to your own, and save the file as StartDigTweet.bat. Be careful to not have ‘.txt’ appended to the end by notepad. Click this file and the window will open. You can largely ignore what it’s saying, just minimize it and go on with whatever you’d normally do. Tweets are only updated ONCE, so if it changes the status, and you switch to something else, it won’t be overwritten until a) you restart DigTweet, or b) you have something new in the “top slot” in your feed. (Note: deleting a tweet will cause a sync on the previous tweet)
