Re: Facebook Chat Away Message
Hi Cassandra. Pidgin only sends auto replies on IM protocols that have historically featured auto replies (and the auto-reply preference only pertains to those IM protocols). Specifically, only AIM and Zephyr. This is because there's no way to indicate that a message is an auto-reply on other IM protocols, and they tend to confuse people. I think the purple plugin pack might include a plugin that adds auto reply functionality for other protocols.

More info at https://bitbucket.org/rekkanoryo/purple-plugin-pack/wiki/Home I'd be cautious about doing this on Facebook anyway, as this will make Facebook think you are active, which adjusts how you appear via the web interface, but it also prevents notifications from being sent to other devices. So for example, if you were using Facebook IM on another PC or mobile device, that device would stop showing notifications every time your pidgin autoresponds. Facebook really isn't built for away messages. -- Dave Warren http://www.hireahit.com/ http://ca.linkedin.com/in/davejwarren ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

Pidgin: buggy file reception behavior
Hello, Please bear with me, as I don't know whether this is third party plugin related or not. Thanks you. My config: OS: Windows XP SP3 - Pidgin 2.10.9 - Skype-Plugin ? - Skype 4.2.0.163 - Win Firewall - AVG 2012) (The Skype-plugin from http://eion.robbmob.com bore no version-info except for skype4 on the site. I assume it is the latest one.) Problem description: When receiving a file sent from Skype by a buddy in the list, the Pidgin file transfer window's receive or accept button is greyed out, making it impossible to actually receive said file. Because Skype stands open in the background, switching to it and accepting the file is possible. Pidgin acknowledges the action of accepting the file from Skype and shows an appropriate message in the IM window. It also signals the end of the transmission and places a clickable (html-like) filename in blue in the IM window. Clicking on it opens the file normally. This buggy behavior (the accept icon being greyed out) is perfectly reproducible and persistent. I have tried restarting Pidgin and even rebooting the computer to check for a change in behavior ... to no avail. ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

Re: Pidgin: buggy file reception behavior
The Skype API doesn't provide any way to accept a file, unfortunately, so you need to accept it in the client for the transfer to start.
