Internet Apps Support

This morning I updated from the preview version (which was in turn updated from GAIM) to the newly released Pidgin. I also added the encryption plugins.

Everything worked ok for about an hour, then pidgin unexpectedly froze. I terminated it and then restarted it, and 5 seconds after the chat dialog boxes returned (I have it configured for 3 IRC channels in tabs via SSL) it froze again.

Further investigation has determined that as soon as I start pidgin it starts grabbing memory and pegging 1 core of my cpu until it grabs approximately 1200MB at which time windows kills the process.

Dear all,

When I launch Portable Pidgin I got the following error :

Error loading pidgin.dll
Error: (1114) A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed.

GTK in directory \CommonsFiles but same problem when GTK in \PidginPortable\App\GTK.

Hereby you will find my conputer information:

Operating System : Windows XP Professional (5.01.2600 Service Pack 2)
CPU : 3000 MHz
Bus Speed : 800 MHz
Motherboard : Dell 0FJ030
System : Dell Dell DXP051

I start my own build of pidgin with a batch file.
set PIDGIN_MULTI_INST=2
start ./Pidgin/pidgin.exe -c Data /nosplash /minimized

Frist feature is to write PIDGIN_MULTI_INST to windows variables. This could be done to start the launcher with an option -PIDGIN_MULTI_INST=2.

Second feature to be able to add /nosplash and /minimized to the launcher so no splash screen will pop up and pidgin will be started into tray and not fullscreen.

Hello,

I am trying to connect Miranda through a company proxy. It allows me to surf through the internet but it seams not to allow me to connect to MSN.
I changed the settings to the HTTP proxy.
I changed the MSN settings to the HTTP gateway mode but it doesn't work.

Does anybody know if it is possible to connect through the HTTP protocol like a browser?

Thanks
Wickiman

Im am IT support person and we noticed that since a lot of people have been using Portable GAIM / PIDGIN to access IM which is not allowed in the office. Is there any way i can restrict its usage?

Thanks, BusinessGeeks

When I use GAIM send file, the program is closed.
I use gaim 2.05. login QQ,MSN.

why?

I don't remember who was talking about this on this forum, so I decided to start a new topic...

I found this http://www.silcnet.org/ that is supposed to be an encripted/secure pidgin... I don't know if it's totally GPL (at least pidgin is) and I don't know if it's portable or can be made portable... I'm just posting for information on interested people, since somebody in the past talked about this feature with pidgin.

Some section of gaim is not portable
for example:
-Each account icons
--Main Icon (It can not browser for icons relative)

-Log (It will use windows/system foler and can not use relative path to hold logs)

When i set my account icons and then use another computer my gaim will report error that file not found and i just find config files on Gaim/app/ an xml file that hold configuration and then remove files.

I think it do not work full with relative path

how do i configure miranda IM PE for dail up..

The default gaim/pidgin skin is not very beautifully.

I did read that and found some other skins. But I have no idea where to place those skins? Someone explain please.
