Pidgin: Wont let me in

Submitted by radar95 on December 21, 2007 - 2:50pm

I have been using the newest version of pidgin portable without any problems for about a month, but now i click on the icon and it starts its loading process. Once it brings up the small screen that shows the pidgin icon and portable icon it goes no farther. Any ideas of what is going on.

Pidgin: Updating Manually from 2.1.1 to 2.3.1

Now, because I know what some people might think this thread is, it's not. I'm not asking when the next release/update will be, but rather a question for those who work behind the scenes.

I just got an idea today, to upgrade my Pidgin from 2.1.1 to 2.3.1. I figured I could easily do it, but just replacing the files in the App/Pidgin/ directory under the PidginPortable folder to the recent files from the standard local install (with the except of the pidgin.exe) and it should run.

Hi,

Tried searching but can't find what I am looking for (or I really missed it), but what are the files needed to get a plugin installed 'portable' to Pidgin-Portable? I mean, USB friendly (less writing and stuff)? Any specific files I should concentrate on? Or it's not that simple?

Thanks a bunch. Smile

Best Regards

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.
