New Retweet Style

The new Twitter’s retweet function is fully integrated into Mixero. If you prefer the old-style retweets or want to edit the retweeted text, you can always choose to do so. The first time you press retweet button, the retweet mode choice dialog appears. Press “Retweet” for new style, “Edit first” for old style retweet. You may check the box to remember your choice. In that case Mixero won’t ask you to decide what style to use again.

This parameter is also can be configured in Options/General/Retweet style.

Geolocation support

Mixero now knows how to deal with geotagging information in tweets. Geotagged tweets are marked in timeline and look like this:

If the geo link is pressed, you’ll see the tweet author’s avatar on the map.

Mixero goes even further on geotagging! We present to you an unique feature among desktop Twitter clients — you can geotag your tweets right from your desktop (the geotagging must be enabled on Twitter for this to work, so look for “Enable geotagging” checkbox in Twitter Settings).

When you compose your tweet, press the icon. The map window will be opened. Click your location on the map, hit Ok, and the location will be added to the tweet.

You can remember several locations and give them convenient names for future use. Check the “I’m at” box near the tweet input field and select the location from the list. The locations are stored only locally and not synchronized between Mixero instances for privacy reasons.

You can search the map for quick jump to the place you want. Use the button in the right upper corner of the map.

Spam reporting and User blocking

Each tweet menu now has buttons for spam reporting & user blocking. Use them with care.
