Updates with Multiple Accounts
Mark
via web
I've had three twitter accounts added to Carbon from day 1 (which was 3 days ago for me). I've had Carbon running on and off for the entire time with 15 minute updates enabled and Run in Background off. It has been updating the timeline in my primary account the entire time. Now this morning seemingly out of nowhere it updated one of the other accounts saying I had five new tweets. I tapped the notification and it launched a new card for the other account. The five tweets it displayed were from the last few days. They were definitely not all new in the last fifteen minutes. I'm just not sure why it suddenly updated a second account after not doing it for so long.
Are the automatic updates supposed to update the non-primary accounts as well as the primary?

Interesting. I apparently actually turned on Run in Background this morning. So to venture a guess.. Run in Background checks for updates on all accounts? And timeline refreshes only happen on the account active in the card?

Thank you Mark this the first time we get this reported. Looks like most of the users are single account users.
The behavior is actually wrong, it has to update all the accounts, not only primary/defaults account for Auto Refresh & for Notifications....There's something not right, I'll test a little bit more myself to confirm this and we'll get back to you with some more either questions or answers :)

Thanks for the response.
I personally would like to be able to control which accounts are automatically updated. My secondary accounts are infrequently accessed, and I would not want their updates popping up all the time.

That was in the plans but for initial release we didn't make multi-account settings a priority as most of the users are single users....but no worries, we'll enable that as soon as we iron some of the bugs, cool?

This comment was split into a new discussion: Multiple Accounts Background Notifications
I have two accounts on Carbon, but only the default account is updating in the background. I receive no notifications for the second account, although there are new tweets when I check manually.
