Pidgin Portable

Spell Check Not Working

bornlibra23 - August 24, 2011 - 10:04am

Hello
Spell check is not working by default in portable pidgin. Also it doesnt work even if I recheck the spell check option. It is working in the original installer.

Please suggest.
Thanks

I just want to point out that while the latest version of pidgin isn't showing on it's website homepage, it is out at Pidgin's sourceforge repository.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pidgin/files/Pidgin/2.8.0/

I'm not posting this to rush anybody. I'm posting this just in case the folks at pidgin.im are having problems or something. e.g. the changelog shows the entries for pidgin ver: 2.8.0, yet the download button still display/direct to pidgin ver: 2.7.11

How to change the Pidgin Portable SPLASH SCREEN

Hi there,

Just tried the pidgin portable version, works like a charm so first of all I'd like to thank the PA and Pidgin folks for the WLM alternative (which was a labeled "crosoft PITA").

I was just wondering, I created my own spashscreen (as the default one is a little bit ... not my cup of tea) How do I put mine on the *.exe ?
If you want to see it I'll send it to you, why not put mine in the boot of the *.exe

thank you in advance for the answer.

greetings from France.

Portable Pidgin vs. portable Opera

thopetersson - December 31, 2010 - 7:38am

Hi all

I just recently went to full mobile, using pidgin and opera under WinXP. On some developers' forum someone posted a patch file that allows Pidgin to use different browsers. My question: could this work on a Windows based system? From what I understand, the patch modifies some parts of GTK file(s), but I guess Portable Pidgin (the Windows executable) has only the necessary elements of GTK so the patch would not have any effect (also, the Linux version has got a "Browser" option in the preferences, which can't be found on the Windows version).

Pidgin periodically crashing since 2.7.7

Gnemesis - December 30, 2010 - 11:50am

Pidgin has started crashing recently... (I am currently running Pidgin 2.7.9) this is the error message shown when run thru debugger:

Unhandled exception at 0x77059d15 in pidgin-portable.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000065.

Any ideas what might be the issue? The only recently-added plugin I use is SIPE 1.10.0 (Windows), but this error occurs even if that is not installed.

Perl disabled?

otaku - December 17, 2010 - 9:08am

Hi portable apps community,

I was wondering why pidgin portable's Perl support is disabled by default (according to the Build-Information menu item) but yet contains a perl.dll file in the plugins folder. Is there a particular reason for that? Puzzled

I'm not sure if I'm the only one, but I would love to use my perl plugins in the portable version of pidgin as well Smiling
