Internet Apps Support

As we all know since Version 6x AIM has been able to support offline messaging.

Well in my new and strongly going "Live Free & Run Light" project I have switched from AIM to Pidgin Portable with the intention of getting the same great and fresh chatting experience without making my computer registry a mess plus not having AIM running so many processes + viewpointplayer all hugging my memory.

I recently made the move to not install software that have a portable version to help keep my computer registry much cleaner and smoother. [So far so good] When I had pidgin installed on my PC installing and using a theme was easy as typing this post, now with the portable version have no idea as to how to use any themes. The portable version comes with the pre-installed themes at "~PidginPortable\App\GTK\share\themes" and while it looks like the GTK2.0 Them installer is installed at "~PidginPortable\App\GTK\share\gtkthemeselector" it really isn't.

Hi All,
I am currently using Pidgin Portable 2.4.1 on windows xp machine.

In version 2.1.1, running Pidgin Portable through GUI or CLI resulted in opening of Buddy List ( if the application is already open and i am logged in )

However, while using Pidgin Portable 2.4.1, same action resulted in opening of a new instance.

Does anybody know how to open buddylist without using system tray?

all of a sudden I'm getting block (□ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □) characters in all messages from iChat clients. I updated to the latest pidgin portable but it is still not fixed. It only affects messages from iChat (thru Aim and bonjour). Messages from normal AIM, MSN, Yahoo, and ICQ are not affected. If I highlight the block characters and paste it in another app like notepad, then the characters appear as normal words. I open the message log in pidgin and it shows block characters also. But if I open the log file in the pidgin directory, then it is normal.

I'm not a noob. I easily got Pidgin to work for an example.

But I can not get Miranda IM Portable to work. Can not connect to any service. IRC, MSN and so on. I don't see any way to connect to MSN. And I can not even type any server name on the IRC.

How the hell to configure it so it can work?

Please help me.

Why does Pidgin Portable not work when I attempt to connect with MSN Messenger? It says that the program is not supported by the server. Yahoo and AOL work fine.

hey guys.

since having installed the most recent version 2.4.1 the search function (search for aliasses in the list by just beginning to type when spotting the buddylist) doesnt work properly any more.

in the former version I was able to put in a name like lets say "chris" and it showed me names with chris in like
christian
chris333x
christopherus dong
...

now, new version:
i begin to type,

Hey all,

Does anyone know of a POP3 plugin for Pidgin?

Thanks.

OK, so I tried the newest version after deleting my previous version of Pidgin portable.

1. Log in to my MSN account, Pidgin crashes with error on icm32.dll.
Tried restarting Pidgin, it starts up correctly.

2. Was chatting halfway with 3 people in my list, and I used Ctrl-Tab to toggle between the 3 chat windows. Pressed Ctrl-tab on one ocassion, and it crashed with an error on icm32.dll.

For some odd reason, every time I close the application and launch it again, none of my accounts are there. I'm running it off a flash drive and the host is Windows XP. I have not moved any of the files around since downloading the application. It is currently saved to F:\IRC\Unreal3.2\doc\technical\ \Pidgin\Sauce\PidginPortable and I run it from F:\IRC\Unreal3.2\doc\technical\ \Pidgin\Sauce\PidginPortable\PidginPortable.exe. Some help would be nice.

Sincerely,
