Pidgin: Spellchecker issue -- no longer underlines misspelled words

Submitted by Arphahat on March 6, 2008 - 10:04am

I installed the latest version (Pidgin 2.4.0) and, even though the "highlight misspelled words" checkbox remains checked, it does not mark the words as misspelled.

Come to think of it, I cannot be sure that this has ever worked since I moved to the PortableApps version. Is there something other than just Pidgin I need to install for this to work? For the non-PortableApps version, I had installed aspell and an English dictionary... do I need to include that on my USB drive as well?

Pidgin: Can't Resize text areas

Submitted by wingmanjd on March 3, 2008 - 11:48am

I'm using the newest version of Pidgin Portable (v2.4). When I double click on a contact to begin a chat, I am no longer able to change the size of the text area in which I type my messages. If I have no window up and I receive a message, the text area is not visible at all. Is this inherent to Pidgin 2.4 or the portable version?

FileZilla: Include Link to older version on App-page

Submitted by yalla on February 27, 2008 - 7:25am

I just noticed that FileZilla 3.0.7.1 was available so I thought I'd give it a try. Interface looked nifty but then I realized that the support for SOCKS-proxies is non-existant.
Which is a real pity, I really need that feature along with some other features which aren't supported (yet).[1]

Anyways, there are a couple of errors in FileZilla's portable app-page[2]:

1) "Features: It supports [...] SOCKS4/5 and HTTP1.1 support [...]"
-> Not true for this version.

settings not read by putty port.

Submitted by ottosykora on February 19, 2008 - 7:01am

I have tried to import the settings from my desktop putty (same version 0.60) but it refuses to work.
I exported the registry branch and placed it into the setting as putty.reg. When I view the content it looks ok.
Then start the putty portable, the settings are not present.
However when closing putty portable, the putty.reg is renamed into putty.reg.old and new putty.reg file is created.
Seetings done then on the putty portable itself will be kept in this new reg, provided the putty is closed ordinaly and not somehow by the telnet session itself etc.
