Pidgin: gaim crash

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on April 5, 2006 - 4:45pm

i am trying to use portable gaim from school. i start it, it connects to all the protocols, but after a little bit it just closes, without saying anything at all. it just closes. i've tried to use it both from the pen and from the hard disk, it has the same problem. from the computer at home, though, it works perfectly from the pen.

any ideas?

(i've tried both 1.50 and 2.0, same problem)

Pidgin: Portable Gaim HKCU Startup Error

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on March 27, 2006 - 12:03am

Running Windows 2k Pro with Portable Gaim. I've set the
portablegaim.exe file to run at current user startup
(HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Run). I
recieve an error labeled "settings was not found.
Please check your configuration." However, if I run
PortableGaim again, it loads sucessful. It also works
if I link it to another link to portablegaim; *.ink.

Portable FileZilla (PFZ) locks up when in configuration menu?

Submitted by stacoma on March 25, 2006 - 4:37pm

I just installed this recently and found that when you do anything in the configuration menu and then click OK, my thumbdrive light seems to blink in a pattern like it's in some sort of loop and I often have to do CTRL-ALT-DEL to close the frozen program. However, if delete the xml file for the settings, restart "PFZ" and then tell it to save the settings to the registry instead, the above actions will not cause any problems. I have since removed the regisry key and told "PFZ" to save the settings locally (the xml file) and the problem is back.

Has anyone seen this kind of behavior? It's happening on both of my computers when I plug the thumbdrive in and try to run "PFZ." Is it an XML issue?

Pidgin: 1.5 Guifications Plugin

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on March 16, 2006 - 9:13pm

Out of frustration, I've created a small package that includes the Guifications plugin for Portable Gaim 1.5 -- it's available here, and the MD5 checksum is: 90666fbd3fc169a236661c13f28f71d7

Simply extract the contents of this 7-Zip archive on top of the existing directories underneath ./gaim. You can grab additional Guifications themes here.
