Catfood Follower 1.10

I've just released an update to Catfood Follower. Follower is a tool for Twitter users that allows you to find and remove friends who have stopped following you. It also allows you to automatically follow anyone who starts following you (but does not send automatic DMs).

Download Catfood Follower

Follower 1.10 is much better at handling Twitter API limits. Rather than failing to update it will wait until the current limits expire and then keep going. It will work much better for people with many accounts, friends, or followers. 1.10 also uses the new cursor method for paging through lists which is more reliable.

There's also a new window that shows progress when automatically processing rules:

This is now the default when running Follower.exe with no command line argument. If you prefer the old behavior run Follower.exe /silent and the update will run without any notification.

It's also now possible to cancel Follower, either from the test window or when running automatically (as long as you're not using the /silent switch).

I haven't been able to get this to work yet. It says "Twitter API call failed..." every time. If it works I'll come back and say so.

Brian, if it always displays an error then it could be that your firewall is blocking Follower.exe.

It could also be a password problem. If you run Follower Settings, open your account and click Test does this work or do you see an error message?

If this comment doesn't fix the problem it would help to see the log with the exact error message(s). Email me and I can let you know what I need.
