Apr 22, 2015 at 7:54 comment added tigerjack I don't have notifications from the applet when someone post a comment or an answer. Is that the normal behavior?
Feb 3, 2015 at 21:11 comment added Ashwini Chaudhary I fixed it locally by using the new url and another minor change: db.tt/PZjCtCWQ :-). I also noticed the same url is used in stackapplet.py as well, is that going to affect the app in any way?
Feb 3, 2015 at 20:28 comment added Nathan Osman @AshwiniChaudhary: alright, that does appear to be a bug. I'll look into it.
Feb 3, 2015 at 20:23 comment added Ashwini Chaudhary Software Center's screenshot: db.tt/A0VsYnoc
Feb 3, 2015 at 20:17 comment added Ashwini Chaudhary I downloaded it from the same link you mentioned above: launchpad.net/stackapplet/+download
Feb 3, 2015 at 20:12 comment added Nathan Osman @AshwiniChaudhary: that's strange. Version 1.5.2 doesn't use the URLs in your first screenshot. Where did you install it from?
Feb 3, 2015 at 20:09 comment added Ashwini Chaudhary @NathanOsman Mine is 1.5.2 only: db.tt/JQnkaOph
Feb 3, 2015 at 20:08 comment added Nathan Osman @AshwiniChaudhary: you must be using version 1.5.1, which uses a version of the API that no longer exists. You need to upgrade to version 1.5.2. You can find DEB packages here.
Feb 3, 2015 at 19:48 comment added Ashwini Chaudhary May be it's just me, but it's not working for me on Ubuntu Mate(14.10). No site is showing up in add account popup. Screenshot with error in console: db.tt/Z1YukKcS

May 21, 2014 at 14:21 comment added Nathan Osman @RPi Version 1.5.2 was just released and uses version 2.2 of the API. It's in the PPA and I think it got backported.

Dec 26, 2013 at 12:39 comment added RPiAwesomeness @NathanOsman I have access to an old iBook G4 (mine) a 2008/2009 MacBook (my Mom's) and I could see if my friend could be help me test it on the new macs (they have 2 MacBook Pro's and the new iMac.) He also uses Stack Exchange, so I think that he wouldn't mind. I'll get GTK+ and PyGTK installed and test it!
Dec 26, 2013 at 9:48 comment added Nathan Osman @RPi: I would honestly love to release a package for OS X but I don't have access to a Mac for testing. That being said, if you have GTK+ and PyGTK installed, it should run out-of-the-box.
Dec 26, 2013 at 2:20 comment added RPiAwesomeness @NathanOsborn: Question, is this ever going to be ported to OS X? I really think that this would be a useful addition to your app.

Apr 16, 2013 at 21:53 comment added Nathan Osman @Buscar웃: Unfortunately I do not have a Mac and therefore cannot make and test packages for OS X. However, if you have Python and PyGTK installed, there's no reason a Mac user couldn't download the source code and build it.
Apr 16, 2013 at 10:03 comment added Ruskes What about Mac version ?

Feb 18, 2013 at 20:06 comment added Nathan Osman That's odd. What version of Ubuntu are you using? What desktop environment are you running?
Feb 18, 2013 at 7:55 comment added Manishearth Hmm, after installing it I ran it and there wasn't any visible change. (I'm on precise). I also navigated to the stackapplet folder and directly ran python stackapplet.py, but that just did nothing (without any error, and without giving me back the terminal). Any idea how I should run it?
Feb 17, 2013 at 20:26 comment added Nathan Osman @Manishearth: Actually, the story gets a bit complicated here. The latest stable version (1.5.1) works just fine. The problem is that the latest version in the archives is 1.4 - which is old and broken. I'd love to get the latest version into the archives but it's something that a Debian maintainer has to do. I've talked to someone who said they would do it when they got a chance... but nothing's happened yet. In the meantime, you can install it from my PPA.
Feb 17, 2013 at 7:04 comment added Manishearth Have a nice new gold badge :) Now, could you make it work again? It's not working atm, and the reviews on the USC page confirm that

Aug 27, 2010 at 19:16 comment added Nathan Osman @Peter: As for the features you requested... I have actually implemented some of them... they just haven't made their way into the DEB yet. You can find the source code at launchpad.net/stackapplet as well as a place to file bugs / submit feature requests.
Aug 27, 2010 at 19:15 comment added Nathan Osman @Peter: I'm curious to know how you installed it to your home directory - I couldn't figure it out when I tried.
Aug 27, 2010 at 18:42 comment added Peter Smit @George Are you taking any patches? I think I would like to see things as automated related account fetching, notifying of answers on questions and favorites, links to the sites straight from the panel. Maybe I could contribute some features.

Aug 27, 2010 at 16:14 comment added Nathan Osman @Chris: I tried it in Fedora 11, but it seems to work okay in there too. Does your panel autohide when the applet is removed?
Aug 27, 2010 at 15:28 comment added Nathan Osman @Chris: Weird. I just tried autohide and it works for me on Ubuntu 10.04. I have a VM with Fedora 11... I'll give that a try.
Aug 27, 2010 at 15:27 comment added Nathan Osman @Peter: Well, it actually is in the Maverick repository right now. Would they let you install it from there?
Aug 27, 2010 at 13:26 comment added Chris @Peter You need root access to install packages.
Aug 27, 2010 at 13:25 comment added Chris @George, I installed to fedora 12 (2.6.32.16-141.fc12.x86_64) and my panel will not autohide now. Any ideas?

Jun 28, 2010 at 20:05 comment added Nathan Osman @Peter: The API changed versions from 0.8 to 0.9 - You need to download the appropriate file again from the list above. All of the files above have been updated now and should work. If that still doesn't solve your problem, please let me know.
