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

Ok,I'm here to ask you all how to properly update portable pidgin in my USB drive to the now latest Pidgin 2.5.2?

In the Portableapps.com Pidgin pages it says

>>>Upgrading Pidgin Portable
To upgrade to a newer version of Pidgin Portable, just install a new version over your current installation. All your settings will be preserved.

---END--

Now last time I tried to upgrade like that, my costume theme, plugins, settings/accountns and smile pack got all deleted.

Hey there,

I want to put my profile e.g. at the desktop of my computer - Miranda Portable is installed on a USB Stick through the suite (Platform Only).

Now, I edited the mirandaboot.ini like this:

ProfileDir=C:\Users\muelli\Desktop\

then I started Miranda through the suite and an error occurred:

even though I edited the .ini file ...

...after taking a look at the .ini again - it was reset like I never edited it.

Any suggestions how you can run Miranda with the .dat on a different device!?

Pidgin seems like it is reading/writing to the USB when it really shouldn't need to. I don't have a very fast drive, so this is noticeably annoying.

Specific instances are:
- When I double click the tray icon, bringing up my buddy list.
- When I minimize Pidgin to the system tray.
- When I open an new IM window to chat with someone.

Not only does this cause Pidgin to freeze for 1-2 seconds, but the read/writes will slow down anything else I am doing from the USB drive.

The Plugins I have enabled are:

- Guifications
- Pidgin Encryption
- Buddy State Notification

I only have tested miranda , in fact, i use miranda as my default im client.
but... pidgin is better? whats the reason then?

I would like to know :

1. I have normal version installed. With three configured accounts and other setting.
I would like to backup to the portable version.

2. I would like the spanish version for portable pidgin . It's possible ?

Thanks
Excuse my language. I'm from Canary Islands

There is a miranda and a miranda_ansi folder and they both seem to have the same stuff inside... so where do I put the plugins? Sorry if that's obvious but I'm totally new to miranda (switched from Trillian) and I couldn't find anything about this.

Hi, I've been using various PortableApps on some heavily locked down PCs and one of the things that's locked down is amending the registry.

It seems that PuTTY and therefore PuTTY Portable does need to do this in order to save anything from previous use and to avoid a warning dialog box at startup - is there anything that can be done to prevent PuTTY using the registry at all?

I have a question about accounts on Pidgin. I currently have my windows live & Facebook account set up through Pidgin. From what I understand, I will be able to chat with people on both accounts at one time, correct?

But, I do have several friends that are on other chat programs such as yahoo & ICQ. If I add them as a buddy, will I be able to chat with them even though I don't have a yahoo or ICQ account? Or would I need to create accounts in order to chat with them?
