unofficial PidginPortable 2.2.1

Submitted by engineman on October 9, 2007 - 4:14pm

I got tired of waiting, and combined Pidgin 2.2.1 with the current version of PidginPortable to make my own PidginPortable 2.2.1. Here is a link to my blog post about it.

Please let me know if you have any problems using it. Hopefully this will work for people until John has enough time to put together an official release.

Miranda: from Version 0.4.0.3 to 0.6.8 problem

Submitted by RickW on September 28, 2007 - 1:49pm

Hi,

Didn't know I was so far behind. Smile

I backed up the entire old directory structure by renaming with an "OLD" suffix before the dot.
I installed 0.6.8 onto the USB drive into its own new folder and then tried to follow instructions to copy the "settings" directory from old to new. I can't find this so-called settings directory.

thanks,

p.s.: the new install is unicode. the old is ansi?

Pidgin: Save every Buddy Icon

Submitted by testacc on September 21, 2007 - 11:17am

If someone on my buddy list changes his/her buddy icon pidgin simply overwrites the old one. I actually dont like this behaviour. At least for one of my msn buddies (changes icon several times a day and I dont want to miss a single one).
Is there a way to save every icon automatically? A plugin or something?

Pidgin and Wine

I tried to start PidginPortalbe under Wine. PidginPortable was loaded well. But fonts of the interface very much greater. The size of a font nearby 76pt. How I can reduce a font?
There are fonts from Windows in system (Mandriva 2007). There are fonts from Windows in Wine (0.9.44).
