AdditionalParameters=/minimized
WaitForPidgin=false
DisableSplashScreen=true

What is my fault?

Read the readme.txt in Other\Source and it explains it. You need to use the PidginPortable.ini. There's an example of it right there. The PidginPortableSettings.ini is NOT user editable.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Hi, i can finde in

Hi,

i can finde in PidginPortable.ini the following sentence:

# This is an example INI and will not work from it's present location.
# For full details on placement and the above options, see the included readme.txt

In the readme.txt i can find:

The Pidgin Portable Launcher will look for an ini file called PidginPortable.ini within its directory.

Now i know the 'Pidgin Portable Launcher' is the 'PidginPortable.exe' which can be found in: x:\PortableApps\PidginPortable. Place your PidginPortable.ini there with the above lines. It works.
