Internet Apps Support

When adding an IRC account i get the following error message:

"IRC nicks may not contain whitespace"

Which is strange cause i have no white spaces in. After doing some googling i found an old ticked about this issue (http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/6373)

I then decided to install a normal version of Pidgin, create an IRC account, and it enabled without any problem.

Now i whent back to the portable version, and what is suspected occured: the IRC account was now working properly, without the nasty message!

Hi

I tried to install the spellchecker plugin with my miranda portable.
The Plugin works but i can't choose a dictonary in the menu.
Where must I paste the folder with the dictonary to ?

thanks in advance

My eScan Antivirus (Kaspersky engine) blamed me that the actual version of FileZilla 3.1.5 has the Trojan Trojan.Win32.Pakes.lth included.

Wrong alarm or is there malware included in this version?

Kai.

Hello,

I am new to PortableApps and this is my first post.

I tested Pidgin and aMSN, both new for me because I only use WLM.

One problem with Pidgin is that PIDGINLANG must be set to zh_TW in order to send Chinese characters; otherwise I can’t see the characters I am sending myself (the contact receives the right characters, but I only see strange square symbols).

But specifying zh_TW means that the whole interface is changed to Chinese, and this is not what I wanted.

What are the pros and cons, Benefits and drawbacks ?
I see that Pidgin has many more downloads.
Miranda is a much smaller file size.
Pidgin, 4,763,000 total downloads.
Miranda, 548,000.

Hello boys and girls.
Okay don't get me wrong, I like Pidgin too.
I seem to like Gaim a little better, not sure why,
I have had it since I started using PortableApps.
So maybe that's why, but it works.

Is Gaim completely gone ? not being worked on as Gaim at all ?

If it's not being worked on, should I uninstall it,
or delete it ?. I find my self using both of them just to see
if I can find any real differences, and other than security
maybe, Gaim does not double up on names and wierd stuff.
Looks and works fine for me. Lol.

Pidgin is constantly crashing when I change an Alias. I downloaded the newest copy this morning to see if it there was something wrong with the copy I have, but it still crashes. I have tried this out on four different computers before giving up on using aliases. By installing it locally, I can get aliases to work, but not for the portable version.

Wow, I just realized that the above totally makes my sound like a n00b. No clue how to word it better though. Whenever I go to set an alias, Pidgin completely crashes.

Do any of you know if there is a Plugin for Pidgin that enables interactive message notification for pidgin a-la Digsby?

You can reply directly from the message notification. I find this to be very cool and a feature that will add a +2 to productivity for Pidgin.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as well.

Hey guys, heres the deal.

-At home pidgin works fine for me, even though I'm behind a router (yay).
-At school, I have to change all the connection ports to 80 to avoid being blocked.
-At work, I have to change all my connection ports back to their defaults, because for some reason nothing connects otherwise. (I logged into the router at work and they have no settings for filtering, port forwarding, dmz, or anything at all actually)

It doesn't look like the paths in Pounces.xml are updated when Pidgin loads from a different drive letter. (Example: paths to sound files located on the portable drive.) Is that something weird with my setup, a design feature, or something that got overlooked?

I searched to see if this was asked before but didn't find anything.

File: Data\settings\.purple\pounces.xml
