I had problems with the PortableGaim and PortableGiMP when trying to implement the "split directory" functionality of the portable launchers, with the launcher displaying a message reporting " was not found. Please check your configuration". This error did not occur when I simply unpacked the zip file from portableapps.com and ran it from there. After closer scrutiny, I located a line missing from the CheckPortableAppsSplitDIR section of the launcher. John checked for the existance of the executable, and set the path if the executable was found, but check for or set the path of the settings folder. Instead, the check for the GTK is there.

Pidgin: Skype?

Submitted by Jon_boy1984 on June 22, 2006 - 8:20pm

I know this should probably be on the Gaim site, but we use skype for work purposes. (when there is no mobile coverage) and was wondering if there was any plans to put skype into the program?!

Many Thanks,

Jon

what i miss in miranda IM

hi,

i like miranda IM, its comfortable Smile

what me bothers is that the icons for the different services are all the same, impossible to re/disconnect to a single service quickly.

well utf-8 support would be nice but maybe its just a plugin i need to install.

greetings Smile

Pidgin: How to change the language of portable gaim interface?

Submitted by camus on May 17, 2006 - 9:01am

Hi all,

In fact, I'm the first time to use portable gaim, after I download the 1.5 (Multilingual), the default language of interface is English, and I want to change it to Chinese, I have already try to replace whole the "locate" directory into my portable HD, but it still cannot make any change...

And I found that, if I run the portable gaim in my home PC (My PC is already installed gaim 1.5), it can show the Chinese interface, if I run the portable gaim in other PC, it will change back to English...what should I do? Please help me...

ok Hi there people, first i would like to say this has been awesome to find.
now my problem is at work i am behind a good firewall i am guessing.
so far the only way i can access my home linux server is thru ftp port 21 with filezilla. thats the only thing that gets thru.

i have tried the following with no success.

remote desktop(windows)
vnc(both)
webmin.
ssh
telnet with putty

and ftp with ssh doesnt work either
so far the only things i can do are my web page and ftp.
now i am able to get thru with normal ftp but i dont like it becuase of security issues.

does anyone know of a way to get command line access so i can upload and download.
