Miranda: MSN - ask for password
Hello,
Is there a way to make Miranda to ask for MSN password on connecting? As I know now Miranda always remembers for MSN passwords which is very unsafe for an USB drive.

I can't seem to load the 'Off The Record' plugin in the new Gaim 2.0Beta 3.1 version...it doesn't appear in the list.
Is anyone else having this issue?
The screen shot on the release report makes Miranda IM look cool, what skin is that? Anyone know? Know where to get it?

I try to configure my portable Miranda exactly just the way I have it installed on my PC. The trouble is, it doesnt keep any settings.. neither the acounts' info nor the icons settings bounded to protocols . Whenever I restart it, it goes to defoult settings.
Any ideas why?

I've noticed that as Miranda IM Portable starts up, it adds a registry entry to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Miranda
Within that, it adds a (Default) key and an Install_Dir key. The Install_Dir holds the directory path of wherever you ran the program from.
Since this is a portable app, shouldn't it prevent/remove these leftover registry keys?
Ive been using FileZilla portable for a while and i have noticed one thing. When you connect to a shell (via ssh2) you have to accept the key (you can choose to allways accept it which i did). When i use filezilla on another computer you have to accept it again. So i think this "setting" is stored in the registry. A reason for that is maybe that filezilla uses FzSFtp.exe to connect to shells and that this file havent been included in the nsis script.
First I want to thank everyone that has contributed to this great project.
Now, my query: because Miranda Port opens so quickly, the splash screen seems pointless and just covers up the login window that opens up at nearly the same instant. How does one go about disabling it?
Thanks in advance.
I've been using gaim 2.0beta2 for a few days and found that a lot of my friends were offline.
I was very surprised then when one of them using MSN sent me an IM. He was definitely online and we chatted for a while but his status on gaim was offline.
any brillant ideas why and how to solve this issue?

Hey there ppls... I've just downloaded filezilla to use on my usb drive. I am hoping to be able to edit files from the server directly - I've figured out how to edit the file (e.g. I've set up the connections in the settings area, and I can right click on the file and choose 'view/edit', where I can then edit the file using my chosen editor), however when i save the edited file, it doesn't upload the new one - I have to manually find the file and upload it. Is there something I'm missing to make this easier?
Thanks,

So I currently have Portable Gaim v1.5.0. As we all know, the MSN protocol no longer works unless a user upgrades to v2.0.3(beta). My question is... can I copy the settings folder (with logs, account info, etc) from my v1.5 to the v2.0.3(beta) settings folder without causing any problems?
Thanks,
