Pidgin: Gaim 2.01 beta

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on January 5, 2006 - 10:18am

Hey gang, just wanted to let you know that Gaim 2.01 beta works as a portable app! I just installed gaim into THUMBDRIVE:/PortableGaim/gaim and viola, works like a charm. I also installed aspell support but that doesn't seem to be working.

Pidgin: Meanwhile Plugin

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on January 4, 2006 - 6:18pm

Hello,

Where would I place the libmeanwhile-0.dll and libmeanwhile-1.dll so the Gaim can see it as a protocol I can select when creating accounts.

I currently have a working USB app of Gaim working with the meanwhile plugin. I used the instructions at the bottom of the windows port @ the gaim sourceforge page, but I would like to get it working with the portable app offered here.

I copied the meanwhile libs into E:\\PortableGaim\gaim\ but it still does not show up.

TIA,
Bobby

Update: I was actually able to get it to look like Portable Gaim with the splash screen etc. and work with the meanwhile protocol.

Pidgin: Extended Preferences plugin

First of all, installing the Extended Preferences plugin is just a matter of moving a single dll into your .gaim/plugins folder, so I'm not having a problem installing it. In fact, in the previous version of PortableGaim (1.5beta1), it did work. After upgrading to 1.5beta2 (copying the entire .gaim directory elsewhere, extracting the new version over the old, copying the .gaim directory back), it stopped working, even though the dll is still in the right place. What happened?

FileZilla: just curious

I'm pretty new to this whole thing, and I think that the PortableApps thing is pretty cool. However, I don't understand the function of an FTP client. Can someone explain what this is and how it is useful on a flash drive? Thanks in advance

Pidgin: "Can't find host"

Submitted by alexjohnc3 on December 27, 2005 - 6:01pm

I just put PortableGaim Beta 2 on my USB Flash Drive and I cannot connect to MSN, Yahoo, or Google Talk. I can, however, connect to AIM and ICQ just find, oddly enough. Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: I'm going to be experimenting to see if I can find the problem. Thanks for any help.

Edit 2: It seems that it works on aanother computer, but I'm worried that it will stop working on the other PC I was using (don't have access to the other one at the moment). Any ideas why it didn't work on the other PC? Thanks.
