2 Annoyances
I am enthralled with Pidgin but am annoyed by 2 things that seem to happen far too often. One minor one major. Pidgin 2.5.3 O/S: XP SP3 Minor Annoyance: Initial Start-Up When starting Pidgin it takes too much time. The view from Task Manager indicates that Pidgin goes through several 'Responding' 'Not Responding' phases. :( Usually patience will prevail and ultimately Pidgin boots. From My personal logs I noticed this behavior /after/ installing the Skype Plug-In. I can ameliorate this Start-Up hassle if I remember to Open Skype _before_ Opening Pidgin.Because I use both Google Talk with My Gmail Account with a Google Apps Domain I have resigned Myself to the 'Certificate Acceptance' confusion. :-\ Major Annoyance: accounts.xml suffers a lobotomy several times a year. :( I have not been able to track the source of this intensely aggravating circumstance but every 2-3 months I Open Pidgin and am greeted with the 'Welcome to Pidgin' screen inviting Me to configure Accounts. Arrugh!!! Everything was configured and running smoothly the night before when I closed Pidgin normally. No Warning, just all the data in accounts.xml has vanished. :-\ The most irritating aspect of this is that even when all 8 Accounts have been re-enter manually the settings related to combining Buddies using 'Expand' is lost too. Also lost are the assigned aliases which is a large hassle when ICQ Contacts are suddenly represented by their ICQ # and not their Name. The other thing that must be reconfigured are the IRC Channels that were configured to 'Auto-Join'. I know this can be 'solved' by remembering to manually maintain a Copy of accounts.xml in another location on the computer; but invariably when this error happens it isn't with a recent back-up available. Has anyone ascertained what causes this data loss? Other than the above 2 items I have Zero complaints with Pidgin. The Application is extremely versatile, stable and customizable. The Support ranks among the very best I have experienced with any Application. Any suggestions to mitigate the 2 annoyances above will be much appreciated.

I haven't used the Yahoo Messenger Client since converting to Pidgin from Psi. In the Yahoo Messenger Client [Client = Program] One may use either a Yahoo provided Avatar or an image available on Your own HD. [HD = Hard Drive] I like Pidgin because unlike Psi it doesn't rely upon Transport Agents to access other Messenger Programs /but/ it also _doesn't_ have access to their Avatar Library. Pidgin will only display a chosen image selected from One's own HD library. My suggestion to Kathryn would be to Open Yahoo Messenger and when the Avatar She desires is visible Right Click on it and choose 'Save Image As' from the Context Menu. Once the Avatar/Image is on Her HD and _not_ just on the Yahoo Server then She may store it anywhere on Her System and use the 'Modify Account' feature to 'Use this Buddy Icon' feature to browse to wherever She has chosen to store it. Pidgin is so feature rich that it is not the easiest IM/Chat Client for the neophyte to pick up [Install] and use straight out of the box. I can appreciate Kathryn's exasperation and admire You, Etan, for Your willingness to assist Her. Being an Application Developer I can also appreciate how confusing 'unconscious competence' can sometimes appear to the truly lost.

Etan is the 2nd most helpful Pidgin Developer I have ever encountered. My Vote for 1st would be Stu. That said Set aside: ~From My Own Experience; do You know how to generate a viable 'Debug' Log? I'm not making aspersions; I didn't so I routinely ask others. Secondly; do You know where to Copy/Paste the contents of the Log so that it will receive maximum peer review?

Have You been to www.jabber.org and created an Account with them? All Pidgin can do is connect You to existing IM Service Accounts. Pardon Me if this is an ignorant Question.

Bill Ayers wrote: I am using the IM everyday and would like to suggest something added into the Pidgin IM. Is there a way I can see a user logged into the IM? Like a balloon showing user logged in. You have setup for sounds when the user is logging into the IM but I can't hear the sounds because I am hearing impaired. I highly recommend Guifications [current version 2.16] Toaster Pop-Up notification Plug-In.
