Pidgin: portable gaim crashes after splash screen

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on March 16, 2006 - 12:34pm

I'm having a problem with portable gaim crashing on my home PC (running Win XP home edition). The splash screen is displayed, I get an hourglass and then nothing happens. I've tried downloading a fresh zip and installing it, and it doesn't seem to work. I had no problem with it until last night. I had regular gaim installed on the same machine as well, and now that won't start, either. I've tried removing GTK and completely reinstalling. Any ideas what's going on?

Pidgin: Buddynames

Hi people,

I just downloaded the 2.0 Version of PG but I cannot see the buddynames in my list? Is there something in the settings or do I have to enter the names on every single buddy?
The buddys are all from ICQ.

Pidgin: Portable Gaim 2.0 problems

Submitted by Matthai on February 24, 2006 - 5:05am

I just downloaded portable Gaim 2.0 multilingual and it has some problems.

I was using portable Gaim 1.5 and I just copied all my old setting into new directory. This works fine.

But the problems are:

- there is no OTR support (or I am blind? - I can't see it among plugins)

- there is no gaim-encryption support. I think there should be because of compatibility. A lot of people is still using it (OTR is still new), and if we want to be compatible with them, it is important to have it)

- there is no default smileys and I am also not able to import them. I go to Tools>Preferences>Smiley Themes (or sth like that - I am using localised version of Gaim), and drag&drop themes there. But they do not appear anywhere.

Pidgin: Guification Plugin

Submitted by sblandin on February 17, 2006 - 3:42am

Hello to everybody,

I've installed Portable GAIM and copied the settings from my desktop version using the procedure described in the page about Portable GAIM.

In the desktop version I've intalled Guification, that is a plugin that implement notification over the system tray icon of Portable GAIM. Altough I can see plugin settings in the GAIM preference guification doesn't notify anything: any hints?

Thanks in advance

Simone Blandino
