.purple Directory

[Bobby Walker]

Attention Pidgin Support:

We at Purdue University use Pidgin as one of the many articles of 
software on campus.  Our issue, is because we use roaming profiles, I've 
tried to use the pidgin.exe -c H:\pu.data\Application Data\.purple 
switch and that doesn't seem to work.  From what I understand that 
creates the new config profile but doesn't tell it to use that as the 
default location of .purple .
So, is there something that needs to be done to make pidgin.exe to use 
the .purple folder on the H: drive NOT local.

(To forstall the possible Yes, but I know where it is, thank you very
much response, that FAQ entry has the answer you want as well.)

I believe it wants to be set to the new appdata path and not the full
.purple path (but testing that should be quick enough).
