Enabling secure chat in Portable GAIM

Submitted by webfork on July 18, 2007 - 3:39am

Security feature: you can enable "Off The Record" encryption used by Adium and many other chat tools. The whole process takes less than 10 mins.

1. Go to the OTR Website www.cypherpunks.ca/otr/

2. Scroll down the page and download "installer for the plugin for gaim 2 beta 5."

3. Use Universal Extractor (http://portablefreeware.com/?id=641) to open the downloaded executable without going through the install process.

4. From the extracted folder, delete "[NSIS].nsi" and "$PLUGINSDIR" and move all other files to your GAIM install directory under \App\Gaim\plugins.

Customization

Submitted by Nick Reich on July 17, 2007 - 8:51am

How about customization in new PortableAppsSuite version (if you planing to produce any new version Smile )? I'm talking about custom order of apps in launcher window by user or/and group splitting as on your Applications page.

(Hope, someone understand my explanation. Sad I need more lessons of English.)

paf installer doesn't accept relative paths?

Submitted by spchtr on July 16, 2007 - 3:36am

Just wondering if I'm doing something wrong or if it's just not set up for it.

When I try to run, say, GIMP_Portable_2.2.17.paf.exe and put in .\GIMPPortable for the install path it's telling me that that is an invalid path. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to use relative paths for the installers? I know I'd prefer it that way. Smile
