[Fixed] Pidgin: 2.7.1 not setting the environment variables !

Submitted by Mark Sikkema on June 5, 2010 - 2:01pm

This involves language switching but also %PATH%, %PURPLEHOME% and all the other env. vars! (I'm actually surprised it's even running !)

The (Unicode NSIS) System::call's don't seem to deal with:

System::Call 'Kernel32::SetEnvironmentVariableA(t, t)***********'

If I remove the A's, and re-compile language switching works again, and all the other env.vars are set properly again !

Pidgin: 2.7.1 Spell Checker has changed from Aspell to Enchant

Submitted by CampStaff on June 4, 2010 - 5:42pm

Spell Checking has seem to have changed for pidgin users from the usual Aspell to OOo dictionaries, but has yet to be corrected in the Portable Apps version.

You'll need to install it to PidginPortable\App\pidgin\spellcheck\share\enchant\myspell yourself.

Tested and it works. Thanks John

[Fixed] Pidgin: 2.7.1 GTK Themes

Submitted by pkeffect on June 4, 2010 - 2:18am

From official Pidgin website: http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Using%20Pidgin#win32_gtk_theme

As of version 2.7.0, Pidgin ships with a private GTK+ runtime and doesn't include extra themes or a GUI theme switching application.

There is an easy way to use the GTK+ theme binaries and theme switcher that Alexander Shaduri maintains. Note that we don't recommend you use the GTK+ installer he distributes unless you know what you're doing and have a good reason for doing so.

Download the GTK+ Themes and GTK+ Theme Switcher zip files and extract them to a temporary directory.

filezilla.exe infected with a Trojan.Agent!?!?

I installed the latest version of malwarebytes anti-malware and updated the definitions.

It then ran it and it found a "Trojan.Agent" in:

PortableApps\FileZillaPortable\App\filezilla\filezilla.exe

Any possibility this is a legitimate infection?

Can someone else run malwarebytes anti-malware and tell me if their portablapps filezilla.exe is infected too?

Cheers.

Pidgin 2.6.6 doesn't log chat

Submitted by mrkgalli on April 26, 2010 - 6:43am

hello to everyone...
I recently installed pidgin portable 2.6.6 upgrading 2.6.4
since then, every chat I run with my friends doesn't create a log, and no older log (i.e. the one from the previous release) can be found.

Did I trickly set some strange preference? I had already check if the log is abilitated ... and it is....
