FileZilla: Checking for updates and installing them.

Submitted by tberneman on June 9, 2014 - 2:16pm

If I use the "Check for Updates..." under the Help menu in the program and then download and install the update, will it install the portable version? I'm thinking it will install the 'normal' version and the best way to update would be to download the portable version and copy it over the top of the old version but I want to verify this. Thanks!

Pidgin: App ignores PURPLEHOME environment variable, can't configure alternate data path.

Submitted by TK9K1 on March 31, 2014 - 2:01pm

I need to point the .purple directory to an encrypted volume (W) since pidgin sores plaintext logs and account passwords in that location.

Using the PURPLEHOME environment variable, I can confirm it is pointing to the correct location, however pidgin ignores it. See following screenshot:

Please fix this issue, and let me know if there is any kind of workaround I can use in the meantime to force pidgin to store its data in a different location, thanks.

Pidgin: Facebook not logging in

Submitted by pete_pa on February 1, 2014 - 11:52am

I'm a tad annoyed. Updated to 2.10.8 and it shows "connecting" for Facebook chat, but it never fully connects. On the Pidgin website they say "Update: While we still absolutely recommend upgrading to 2.10.8, it has known problems logging into some XMPP servers, including Facebook Chat. We currently believe these servers are non-conforming, but we are working on a fix!" but there haven't been any updates on a fix.

Is there a way to rollback an update?

Single-click tray icon to open Pidgin?

Submitted by ZoNi on December 29, 2013 - 8:01am

Is it possible to add option to single-click tray icon to open Pidgin Portable?

You can find that "hack" here: http://pidgin.dotninesoft.de/ (name of that file is Single click hack v1.3)

I know it is possible to add it to Pidgin after "install", but it would be better to add it to installer, if possible (from technical and legal point of view).

Has anyone every tried adding a textured background to the gtkrc themes in Pidgin?

I've tried researching this topic for sometime, without any luck. I know I'm close, but I'm sure someone has done it already.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

PuTTY session closes too when winscp closed

Submitted by humbug on November 24, 2013 - 7:46am

Hi everybody,

I´m using winscp and putty, both as portable version. I use PuTTYPortableLinker.exe so i can run a putty-session out of the opened winscp-session. My problem is, that the putty-session closes if i close the equal tab in winscp. Is there a possibility to let it opened even winscp will be closed?

Thanks in advice

PuTTY added to favorite isn't opening

Submitted by lmoretti on November 14, 2013 - 6:33am

Hi PuTTY / PortableApps Experts,

Last week I had an issue when trying to open PuTTY Portable.
The "welcome" screen appeared them a window saying that another instance of putty wasn't closed correctly.

I tried to eject / plug the usb pen drive, but the same error occurred again.
Them it came to my mind that, a few days ago I added putty to my favorites in the PA platform.
After I removed putty from favorites it started again!

Don't know if it's a app problem or a platform problem, and I hadn't time to test if that happens to other apps.
