Pidgin: Not all emotes showing

Submitted by anagram on March 18, 2009 - 8:12am

Hello,

I've noticed that I can't use all the emotes set in Pidgin.
I use the latest version (2.5.5) with several accounts (msn, yahoo, gmail).

In conversations, I have the emotes window which contains 10 icons, then the rest of the small window is empty.

In the theme file, I have the list of all the emotes, which are present in the folder, but when I type the shortcut, they don't show.

Any idea why?

Copying local Pidgin settings to Pidgin Portable?

In the instructions for copying local Pidgin settings to Pidgin Portable it says:

"Your local Pidgin settings are usually installed in C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Application Data\.Purple\. Just copy that .Purple directory to the PidginPortable\Data\settings directory and you're all set."

However, there is no such directory in Pidgin Portable. The Data folder is empty. There is a file called settings in App\DefaultData\settings, though. How do I proceed?

Miranda Portable + Ping Plugin = Miranda doesn't start...

Submitted by piotr.dobrogost on March 9, 2009 - 1:49pm

I have Miranda Portable 0.7.17 (latest) and I tried to use Ping Plugin 0.8.0.2 (latest) with it. However after putting pingplug.dll in the Plugins folder Miranda doesn't show in the taskbar. I have to kill its process. After deleting plugin's dll everything is back to normal. I don't have this problem with other plugins and portable version of Miranda.

Can anyone check if Ping Plugin works with portable Miranda?
Thank you very much in advance.

Pidgin: Crashes EVERY single time!

Submitted by Evlesoa on March 9, 2009 - 1:46pm

After getting spammed with 200 messages, about 20 of them become independent windows that are not in the same group. Basically, they don't even show up in the task bar. So i have to manually click YES, YES, YES, 20-30 times. After I do that, it simply crashes with an error at 0x00000010 or something like that. This happens and repeats EVERY single time.

Refer to the image... Sorry I am not getting the memory violation crash anymore, don't know why. When I get it, i'll post it in a new thread or something.

Miranda: 0.7.17 ?

Submitted by scubaman on March 4, 2009 - 10:13am

There were a couple of quick updates to Miranda - .15, .16 and .17. I noticed that .15 portable was set up a few days after the .15 application was released. I don't think there were earth-shattering changes, just said windows compatibility IIRC. But I have this general question... who does the ports to portable apps? Any user that feels like it and is capable of generating the .paf.exe?
