Pidgin: Support for Gaim-Encryption

Submitted by waffleking on December 27, 2005 - 5:32pm

I'm wondering if anyone has gotten the Gaim-Encryption Plugin for Gaim to work.

I have a lot of friends with whom when I chat with them their Gaim automatically tries to establish an encrypted session which is fine when I'm at work on the regular Gaim which is installed, but when I'm at school, my Portable Gaim doesn't support it. So they can't chat with me unless they right-click on my name and click "Turn Auto-Encryption Off". Otherwise it tries to authenticate over and over and I can't see anything they type.

I would really like to make Gaim-Encryption portable too!

For some time I've been using Portable Gaim on my External HD as well as locally on my permanent desktop. I've never had any problems with it.

Today I downloaded the newest version, Portable Gaim 1.5 Beta 2. I tried both using WinRar to "Extract Here" as well as opening the zipped package in Winzip and copy-pasting as suggested on the support page (https://portableapps.com/support/portable_gaim#installing) to 'install' Portable Gaim to my local computer. I also tried copying it onto my External Hard Drive. I tried all these steps without having first copied my old profile in so that the above steps were more of a clean install (of course, the same problem also occurs if I do copy them).
