Fusion Update
02/05/12 08:16
There will be several new features in the up coming update for Fusion! The features include, choosing your own ringtone for the post completion, removed dependency for Activator, removed dependency for Twitter account to use Fusion, post current song that’s playing, added the ability to use the home button to close the tweet sheet if Fusion was opened by Activator, added the ability to attach images to Fusion,and added the ability to change button names in apps. Of course, these are just the features, I spent most of my time working on bugs, so there are also a lot of bug fixes in this update.
Choose Your Own Ringtone
This feature will allow you to select from your entire library of ringtones the tone that you would like to be played when the post finishes. I heard time and time again that people don’t like the tone that Fusion plays. They would rather here the Tweet sounds that comes default with iOS, which doesn’t really make sense since its Fusion. ;)
Attach Images
This feature allows you to attach an image to Fusion without having to push the ‘Tweet’ button in Photos or anything.
Tweet Button Editor
This is feature is really cool (In my opinion)! It allows you to change the text from ‘Tweet’ to ‘Share’ (or whatever you like) within apps.
This feature will only work with apps that support Localized strings. Localized strings is something that allows application developers to use different languages in their apps. They translate each bit of text in their app to different languages and then they put it in files, rather than just keeping all of that different language data within their program. Since the text that is put into the button is in a file, we are able to edit that text and make it say whatever we want.
To use this feature, just go to the app that you want to change the text in, select the language that you prefer and then search the files for something that might be the text for the Tweet button. In all the Apple apps, it’s called the ‘Tweet’, so it’s relatively easy to find. If you’re having trouble figuring out this feature, you can find a tutorial here.
