Internet Apps Support

Is anyone else having trouble connecting to gtalk after this latest update? The previous version of Miranda Portable was working fine yesterday, but I just upgraded to the most recent update today, and Gtalk can't connect. I just get that animated "connecting" icon and nothing ever happens.

Hi to all.

I want to change the font in the Pidgin buddy list, and I know I can achieve this modifying the gtkrc file.

However, I don't know the correct values for the font property. The default is "Sans 8", if I change the size (8) there is no problem, the size of the font changes.

If I change "Sans" for "Verdana" I see the font of the buddy list changes.

However, if I put "Tahoma", "Trebuchet MS" or "Times" it looks as if I put the default of "Sans 8".

The version you are using is not supported by ICQ. Download a free authorized ICQ version from ICQ's official website.

It happens every time I try to connect to my ICQ-account.

They seem to have changed protocols. New version of Pidgin is needed.

Is there any possibility to do something?

Pidgin is crashing when I try to view my buddies. I can create them but when i try to view them it crashes. Does anyone have any idea?

I'm using 3.2.0 now, but first experienced it with the previous version (3.1.6?).

When uploading a file that already exists on the server, I choose the rename action and append '.new' to the filename. When I click OK, I'm once again prompted with Target File Exists even though no file with that name (the one with .new tacked on the end) exists on the server. I can choose the Overwrite action this time and the file is uploaded with the .new name so this is really just an inconvenience.

My mail: luksd -.at.- misena -.dot.- edu.co

These accounts "@misena" are provided by google through gmail, and accounts use googletalk too. The issue is that I don't know how to fill up the blanks in
the "manage accounts" on pidgin

Protocol: Gmail or misena?

Username:luksd

If anyone can help me. thanks in advance

Hi!

I have separated as far as possible the applications from the data. Therefor i have a different directory structure as maybe some of you have. Anyway, in most of the portable launchers there is a setting for the data directory. I use this setting to seperate data and application.

The portable launcher for Pidgin is not able to change the diectory for the users data. It is not possible to configure the path vie the .ini file!! Launcher does not support it!

Just a question and maybe a request...

Pidgin's site has direction for portable (using the pidgin exe renamed) so it automagically stores its data in the program folder. Why not simply make the launcher use that rather than creating the additional directory structure?

And, if possible could somebody create a launcher for me that will run Pidgin\pidgin-portable.exe without the additional path garbage please and mail it to hreality(at)gmail(dot)com.

Thanks

I migrated Miranda portable to a new install and my contact list plugin failed. So, where is it installing stuff? i still have my old drive.

Hello.

I am posting here after a few months with the same issue.
Last version I get connected to MSN is 2.4.3

If version is higher (2.5.4 is the last I tested), MSN connection
fails, with message:

Connection error from Notification server:
Reading error

All others protocols I use go fine: GTalk, ICQ, AOL, Yahoo, Jabber.

Only MSN fails (repeat: 2.4.3 go fine now too).

Any suggestion to get new version working in MSN ?

Thanks and regards

Eduardo.
