Internet Apps Support

Is anyone else getting what I presume is a false positive hit for "Generic StartPage.r" on %TEMP%\nsvXXX.tmp\registry.dll when opening and closing PuTTY Portable? This appears to have just shown up for me in today's McAfee update (5150/October 26th 2007).

Installed the latest, 0.7.1 by extracting with 7zip and replacing respective files except for mirandaboot.ini (which already has my relative profile directory). After this, I am getting

"This application has failed to start because zlib.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."

Putting zlib.dll 1.2.3 inside the Miranda exe directory allows the program to start, but it bails out immediately. Not having zlib.dll allows Miranda to start with error messages, but without Avatar and Gtalk/Jabber support.

What am I doing wrong?

Out of curiosity I recently got ahold of portable 2.1.1 (loving it) and was wondering if anybody has managed to get the myspace plugin working out of the PC install... I copied over the dll and icons (similar to XFire process) and its not working out

Okay, to be honest, I've become sick of Pidgin. It's ugly and the emoticons suck. Does anyone have or know where I can find a copy of Gaim Portable?

Hiya!

I'm wondering if you for some reason have disabled the ability to insert unicode characters like å ä ö by holding ALT and entering a code on the numerical keyboard (134, 132 and 148 respectively) or if this is a limitation of the underlying API.

I would really appreciate it if this functionality was added, although I know I'm not one to make requests or demands of any kind.
Still, I find it quite a handy trick when you're away from your beloved keyboard..

Hello everyone, I'm relatively new to using portable applications and I'd just like a little background info on Miranda Portable. My computer is going to be down for several months but I still need some basic programs to keep myself running.

Is it possible to change the fonts and/or colors of your outgoing messages, and if so is there some plugin I need to download first?

Hi
I have been trying to look for a master password plugin for Pidgin. When I connect i have several different accounts and I don't want to type all the passwords but by the same token I dont really want them just saved for anyone. In my search I did find this which seems similar to what I would like: http://dooglus.rincevent.net/gaim/ so before it connects it asks for one password. The only thing is I am not sure how to install this in pidgin portable. Thanks Andrew

Hi! I'm just new to Miranda and it works for me. I was just wondering if there's a way/plugin/addon that would allow me to see the custom status messages of my contacts straight from the list? I find it tedious that I'd have to right-click on a contact and read the status message there. I've tried the Miranda community but my search wasn't able to come up with relevant results... Thanks!

I'm brand new to SSH tunneling. I just got a CopSSH server set up at home and I've tried both PuTTY and Tunnelier to make my connections. Both work fine. I was curious what others' opinions are as to which may be the better client. Tunnelier uses a local SOCKS proxy to do its port forwarding, PuTTY does not say (but I think it's a SOCKS proxy as well - anyone know for sure??).

Tunnelier does have a maintained portable version is PApps format -

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.
