Pidgin: Use Portable Browser

Submitted by pevarnj on February 20, 2010 - 4:24pm

Does anyone know if there is a way to have pidgin open hyperlinks (and anything else that opens a browser) in a portable browser? It is just a minor annoyance but it seems odd that it opens up the browser specified on the computer currently in use.

I saw a browser tab in pidgin preferences mentioned a few times on a Google search but I could not find this anywhere in the software itself...

Pidgin: SIPE/OCS Plug-in

Submitted by Lioncourt on February 19, 2010 - 8:26am

I have installed this plug-in [ http://sourceforge.net/projects/sipe/ ] for Pidgin and it does not appear to work. I have a friend who uses it with standard Pidgin and it works great. However when I install it I do not get the option to add an OCS account. I assume the installation puts the dll somewhere that Pidgin Portable can't find it, what do I need to do?

pidgin.dll

Submitted by sifuhall on February 16, 2010 - 1:48pm

I'm trying to use pidgin portable but it looks like pidgin.dll is getting slapped down.

I get the error message:
Error loading pidgin.dll
Access is denied

And then a McAffe On-Access error message:

User defined detection: Deleted

Is there any way to rename pidgin.dll or somehow get around this?

Pidgin: Add accounts every quit, why??

Submitted by 6620mex on February 4, 2010 - 2:58pm

Hi.

I installed the last version of Pidgin Portable and all look fine. I started the app and started to add my accounts, later, I quit from Pidgin, and then I opened it again, and Pidgin ask me again add each account... why?? I redownload and reinstall, clean cache, but the problem still is there, every time I open Pidgin, every time that I need to add my accounts.

What can I do?

Thanks for your help.

Pidgin and accented characters

Submitted by ratcatcher on January 28, 2010 - 12:21pm

Forgive me if this is an FAQ but I've searched Pidgin's own site and can find no reference to it.

How does one type accented characters in a Pidgin IM window?

If I'm using most other programmes (including Thunderbird and Windows Live Messenger) I get é by using CTRL+ALT+e, í with CTRL+ALT+i and so on (as I'm doing now). I can also get the Euro symbol € by typing CTRL+ALT+4.

These key combinations don't work in Pidgin.

In Ireland we use € and in Irish one uses áéíóú (accent is called a fada but is the same as the French acute).

How can i update miranda myself correctly

Submitted by newbey on January 9, 2010 - 6:23am

Hi,

i wonder how i can update the portable version of miranda myself, correctly.
Because in the last weeks most the time there was a new portable miranda version available and a few days later a new version released on the official site so that the portable version was out of date again.

Is it enough to just copy the unpacked official miranda application data in the apps folder on the portable version and overwrite the old files ?

best regards
n.
