Pidgin Smilies Rose and Other Tweaks Thereof

Submitted by GnomenKlayture on November 7, 2012 - 12:27pm

Anybody know how I can do things to the 'smilies', like change the color of the 'Red Rose' to a Yellow one. As well as 'tweak' the others or make some of my own? (My wife -hates- Red Roses because of her Ex and she now prefers Yellow Roses and it'd be so KEWL to be able to send her favorite colored Rose: Yellow)
Asking, because I don't even know where to begin... help? Please advise...

Pidgin: Buddy List not displaying in system tray icon or on taskbar

Submitted by djchangsta on October 10, 2012 - 9:27am

Hi,

I've been searching for a solution to this problem.

When I execute the program, the splash screen shows up and after that the buddy list should show in the system tray.
Now it doesn't display in the system tray, and no buddy list shows up in the taskbar.

I've checked the option to make sure it always shows in the system tray.
Checking the processes, two programs load.
Pidiginportable.exe and pidgin-portable.exe

Installing another copy of pidgin portable to another folder was a temporary work around I found. I'm hoping there another way to resolve this issue.

[Fixed] qBittorrent multiple instance

Submitted by Smyl3 on September 18, 2012 - 10:36am

When start qbittorent from its own shortcut or from an associated .torrent file, it starting an additional instance of the process in windows 7 x64, instead of use the already running one.
The problem occur only if I start the app from qBittorrentPortable.exe.
When I start from "\App\qBittorrent\qbittorrent.exe" (whats start method is not portable), and start another instance (from app start or from associated files), it will appear only a torrent add dialog in the app, or happen nothing.

Pidgin: anybody else getting messenger.hotmail.com:11004 from MSN?

Submitted by GnomenKlayture on June 25, 2012 - 10:50am

I've done everything I can think of...
All the usual, updates to the meta pidgin, verified I can access the MSN account, but at CMD an NSLOOKUP on messenger.hotmail.com returns nothing...
Seems that MS has integrated messenger with their Live Essentials thus making messenger.hotmail.com:11004 no longer connect capable.
I've searched the forums for a reference and it seems I'm the first, so if anyone else has issue and a fix, please post it or the link or what should be in Account>Advanced>Server, Port and/or "HTTP Method Server" maybe?

Security update: pidgin-otr version 3.2.1

Versions 3.2.0 and earlier of the pidgin-otr plugin contain a format string security flaw. This flaw could potentially be exploited by a remote attacker to cause arbitrary code to be executed on the user's machine.

The flaw is in pidgin-otr, not in libotr. Other applications that use libotr are not affected.

CVE-2012-2369 has been assigned to this issue.

[Fixed] gPodder settings reset

I used to be able to change the settings of gPodder, but now If I change the download path and close gpodder, upon reopen the download path is reset. I understand the reason for the default path. But surely removing the ability to set a path isn't desired? If a user wishes to point the path to a different drive/path then this shouldn't be ignored upon restart?
