First of all I would like to say Hi to all you pappsians out there, now thats out of the way, I'm going to talk about PChat some more (please note this blog post will also be mirrored on the PChat website itself too, aka the killing of 2 birds with 1 stone). Special thanks goes to peter_g for letting me know that language switching isn't happening automatically and thanks to simeon for confirming it (still tracking the issue down, but it looks like the locale folder may need to be moved to the settings folder or it's something in the source itself)
Second of all next release will have some patches for freenode's ircd-seven authentication wise and hopefully have a proper fix for dcc transfers, seems that you can receive but bails out when you want to send a file.
Third of all is the possible integration of minigtk to PChat and the start of a fork of minigtk altogether (the fork I believe is necessary since yes Zed released the source but makes it so that he's the only one that could use it.
So look for more PChat awesomeness, until then

hi
its nice to hear some things from behind the development-curtain
One thing I noticed: PChatPortable/App/GTKLegacy/GTKLegacy_readme.txt and
PChatPortable/App/DefaultData/settings/PChatPortableSettings.ini
mention XChat. I don't think thats intentional is it?
Might be a little tricky as the latter is a settings file...
The tray plugin's tooltip
The tray plugin's tooltip says "XChat", too.
Maybe a global find-and-replace would help?
actually the tray says PChat
actually the tray says PChat because thats in the plugin source code, I just pulled the dll file and reshacked my icons on it, later though I'll pull the source and fix the tray thing in the next release.
No, the tray says X-Chat
No, the tray says X-Chat [1.0.3] (I'm using the official 1.0.3 release, btw). Want me to take a screenshot? (Not sure if I can get a screenshot of a tooltip, but it's worth a try if that would be helpful for you)
my bad when I meant to say
my bad when I meant to say PChat in the first line I mean XChat (got so used to typing PChat that it comes natural for me to make that mistake now lol)
I see the gtklegacy readme
I see the gtklegacy readme one but the last one I left on purpose
...to make it
easier for XChat users to switch to PChat?
Makes sense!
well sort of, language
well sort of, language settings and stuff still use xchats variables, thats one thing I didn't touch in PChat, however in light of recent language not changing I may have to touch it to try and find out why it's not working.
