New Pidgin 2.5.6

Is someone already at work to update?

Thank a lot for your great work.

Bye Bye

I downloaded and installed the new 0.7.19 and it wiped out my previous folder in lieu of the new one. Fortunately I was smart enough to make a backup of my previous folder but did this happen to anyone else? I tried twice and both times my whole directory is overwritten.

I gave this a try today as an alternative to Pidgin, to see what all the fuss was about. It kind of threw me a curve ball asking for my AIM info. OK, I put it in, but then it asked me for ICQ. Don't have it, so I hit Cancel. Now all the status icons on the bottom are black and I can't even put my MSN info in.

I figured out that if I right-click on the systray icon and go to Options I can enter the info manually, but I still can't connect to anything.

Do I really need to configure all networks for it to connect just to one?

Can the program be made simply to change my status upon the changing of a contacts' status?

Also, why isn't is that setting pounces is done from a simple drop down list instead of having to know a contacts name.

I have been using pidgin portable for a year or so, and just recently started using ubuntu. Does anyone know how to transfer settings from pidgin portable to pidgin for linux? and vice versa?

Is there a way does anyone here know?

i love it..
the application

but is there a way to disable the option to NOT receive IM messages from
user that are NOT in the contact list.
i dont like buying blue pills or hireing h00k3rs..

oh, and when repleying on a message from a user, that is offline, Pidgin crashes

EDIT: Reboot and fast "killing" of Facebook IM does the trick sometimes... Can you overload Pidgin Portable? Would you recommend the full pidgin with a lot of Plugins? Can you combine pidgin portable and the regular one? e.g. autocopy your logfiles to the portable version but using the regular while being at home?!
And also: How to make p - portable more stable?

2nd EDIT: IT's not only facebook that kills it. I disabled the facebook account but crashes still occur.

3rd EDIT: IT IS THE MSN ACCOUNT!

4th: Deleting and re-adding all the accounts did the trick.

Is there a way to set up Pidgon to run under a proxy. like Firefox and Thunderbird do

also same problem with Amsn here.

I was waiting for .18 to get rid of the 'old version' warning, but apparently that was fixed elsewhere - at least I have not been getting it recently. Still, .19 is out, I hope it gets ported
