"Pidgin.exe was not found."

Submitted by Cl1mh4224rd on August 17, 2007 - 12:43pm

On my USB flash drive, I have the directory structure set like so:

/
    - PortableApps/
        - FirefoxPortable/
        - PidginPortable/
        - FirefoxPortable.exe (not a shortcut)
        - PidginPortable.exe (also not a shortcut)

In the above sample, I can double-click on FirefoxPortable.exe (outside of the Firefox Portable directory) and it will run.

PuTTY OK, WinSCP OK, FileZilla fails

I'm trying to use FileZilla to FTP to/from my workplace. It requires connection via SFTP using SSH2. Contact is completed easily using PuTTY and WinSCP. But I get a "Unable to Connect" error message with FileZilla. (Yes, I have set SSH2 in Server type.)
Host, user, password, port are all set identically.
Any ideas?

Pidgin: crash on awaken from sleep

Submitted by netean on August 15, 2007 - 11:03am

I have a problem with pidgin whereby it won't start via the portable apps menu:

Throws : error loading pidgin.dll error (1114) a dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed

So I go into the apps directory and start it manually and it runs happily.

When I resume the computer from sleep, it always crashes.

Running (unfortunately for me) Vista Home Preumium (it's totally rubbish!) 32bit
on
Acer Aspire 9300 laptop with 2gb ram

Pidgin: reduce to the notification area

Submitted by MatthewHardwick on August 15, 2007 - 8:29am

In the actual application, and the unofficial versions before this one was released, I was able to hit the X in the top right corner, and the app would reduce down to the notification area, much in the same way that the genuine MSN does.

Now when I hit X in the corner, it closes the App. It's so annoying, is there anything you or I can do to make it reduce to the notification area.

TIA
