I'm not sure if it's my settings or if I have too many people on my list(which is unlikely since I know people who have thousands of contacts), but Pidgin always takes forever to start on my usb flash drive, even slower then firefox portable!
Any suggestions?

Hi !

I was using this function but since the last version, when i enter "portable" by example to search in the containing path, filezilla gives me all the path containing p, o, r, t, a, b, l, e...

Someone has a solution? It's really boaring

The latest version is still have the problem, it will create a new data base after exiting the program. The old date base will become ***.bak.

The Miranda Application is already at version 0.8.25 but the protable version still is 0.8.19. When does the updated version will become available as protable?

There seems to be an issue with pidgin-encryption 3.0 and Pidgin 2.7.1 (and 2.7.0). It appears as though it affects both the portable and locally installed versions of Pidgin. As such, I just wanted to post a note about the issue in case anyone else was experiencing the problem so they would NOT blame the portable version.

I just updated from Pidgin 2.6.6 to 2.7.1. When I started Pidgin up, my GTalk account is fine. I'm given this message for my Yahoo account: "[name of account] disconnected: Unable to connect: The server's response did not contain the necessary information." I restarted Pidgin, and I'm getting the same message.

Does anyone know what is wrong and how to fix it?

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 !

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

has anyone else had any sort of weird crashing problems with pidgin i'd installed 2.7.0 a few weeks back and for some reason you couln't uninstall the spellcheck and when i booted it up the spellcheck would cause it to crash so i rolled it back to the version i'm curently using

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.
