Pidgin: New Portable Version?

Submitted by Papaganoush on December 14, 2007 - 1:39pm

Greetings,

I really like pidgin portable and realize that I can upgrade my portable installation by running the upgrade from pidgin. However, when I do I no longer have a portable version as it looks for files on the C drive, starts to leave files in my profile. I have tried a couple of times to upgrade this way but each time I end up rolling back to the backup.

So I have 2 questions:
1. what am I doing wrong?
2. will there be a portable update for pidgin 2.3?

Thanks!
Papaganoush

Pidgin: Sametime issue with buddylist

Submitted by rmarc71 on November 28, 2007 - 10:38am

I recently switched to Pidgin Portable from a standard pidgin install
(company made me uninstall "unlicensed" software). One thing I noticed,
which is only a minor inconvenience compared to the benefits of pidgin over
the standard sametime client, is that when I log in after the initial
Sametime configuration, only one buddy per group shows up. I also, apparently,
show up as inactive to users. If I remove and re-add the Sametime account, everything shows up as per normal. This doesn't happen with AIM, Yahoo or Jabber accounts, only Sametime.

Pidgin Blocked at college

Submitted by koryo on November 27, 2007 - 6:08pm

Greetings

i have recently been playing with Pidgin Portable at my college campus, and it appears (according to the debug logs) that the proxy blocks connections to the msn server. Does anyone know of another secure msn address i can connect to, or a proxy software that i can install at home so i can bounce the msn connection from the college, to my home then to the msn network.

207.46.28.93 (messenger.hotmail.com:1863) is blocked

Thanks in advanced

Hello everybody.

I don't know if this could be doable, but would there be any way of managing shortcuts such a hyperlinks received through Pidgin (for example) to be opened with Mozilla Firefox Portable instead of the default web browser (if it is installed, that is), without doing it the manual way ?

Thanks in advance for the replies.

Pidgin: 2.2.2

Submitted by besonen on November 14, 2007 - 12:03pm

no complaints here. thank you very much for Pidgin Portable.

fyi (in case you didn't know), 2.1.1 is fairly unstable in certain circumstances. and 2.2.2. fixes many stability problems.

peace,
david
