Pidgin's accounts.xml
Hi all, Experimenting with roaming profile sync for applications over multiple platform I've stumbled upon a quirk (not a bug technically) that is preventing me from obtaining the desired results with Pidgin. My setup host 1 - Linux Debian Squeeze (xfce) - DropBox ( ~/DropBox) - Encfs (encfs ~/DropBox/INMTXX/encrypted ~/BoxCryptor) - Pidgin (ln -s ~/BoxCryptor/profiles/.pidgin/accounts.xml ~/.purple/accounts.xml) host 2 - Windows 7 x64 - DropBox (c:\Users\dar00st3r\Documents\DropBox) - BoxCryptor (mounted c:\Users\dar00st3r\Documents\DropBox\INMTXX\encrypted as z:) - Pidgin (mklink C:\Users\dar00st3r\AppData\Roaming\.purple\accounts.xml z:\profiles\.pidgin\accounts.xml) My Issue When starting Pidgin (linux or windows) or adding a new account, the accounts.xml seems to be overwritten by the application (it overwrites the created symlink and replaces it by a hard copy of the file in the .purple folder) instead of saving the changes to the linked file. This breaks the sync process for this specific file and new accounts created in Pidgin are not propagated to the other clients. I'm almost sure this has nothing to do with Encfs, BoxCryptor or DropBox as I've had the same behavior (linux and windows) while removing each element out of the equation. Also, using the exact same setup I have successfully synced Pidgin's logs and certificates folders as well as the sitemanager.xml file for the FileZilla application (which serves the same purpose than the accounts.xml file in Pidgin). My Question 1 - Is there a way to prevent this behavior and have Pidgin save the accounts.xml file transparently without breaking symlinks? Please don't hesitate to get back to me if you require more info.

I don't know which protocol you are using, but you can normally solve this problem by writing a robot (bot), which will monitor the chatrooms for events. See for example: http://perl-begin.org/uses/chat-scripting/ (This is for Perl, there are probably similar resources for other languages).

Re: Automated Message as soon as anyone joins a chatroom
Just to clarify. We need this message to flash to the person who joins the chatroom as an individual ping and not in the chatroom On Wed, Sep 5, 2012 at 9:01 PM, Ajay Singh ajay.scor...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I am using XMPP protocol.

Pidgin and security leaks
Is it true that Pidgin has a bug that causes it to leak the IP address and DNS inquiries even when connected to a Tor proxy? Are there any workarounds? Thanks. ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe? Use this link: http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
