[Bug 195679] Re: pidgin does not have Save button to save browser preferences
Surprisingly, I do not have the Browser tab in the Preferences window at all in pidgin 1:2.2.1-1ubuntu4.1. Is it there by default or should I enable it somewhere else to get it? -- pidgin does not have Save button to save browser preferences https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195679 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 195679] Re: pidgin does not have Save button to save browser preferences
Hello, and thank you for your feedback. This bug doesn't seem to concern pidgin, are you talking about preferred applications? Or could this be a 'gaim' bug?

[Bug 195679] Re: pidgin does not have Save button to save browser preferences
It is indeed about pidgin. All online service related applications have a browser settings which specified the default browser for the application to use for opening links in the text. In still laymen terms, when you send a link to your friend on IM and when the friend clicks on the link, the link is opened in the browser as specified in the browser settings. If there is no option for browser settings then the application might use the default browser of the desktop environment (which is set using preferred applications). If there is a browser settings, then it is used as the preferred browser to open the links. I will check Pidgin in Hardy and confirm (or fix released) this bug asap. -- pidgin does not have Save button to save browser preferences https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195679 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 195679] Re: pidgin does not have Save button to save browser preferences
I checked the same in my Hardy alpha installation ( I haven't done the latest updates) which has pidgin 2.3.1 and it too doesn't show me a Browser tab. Instead I have a configure browser option in the Network preferences tab whose screenshot I am attaching with this comment. ** Attachment added: pidgin browser preferences option in hardy alpha http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12224914/hardy_pidgin_preferences.png -- pidgin does not have Save button to save browser preferences https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195679 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 195679] Re: pidgin does not have Save button to save browser preferences
There is no Save button in any of the preferences. It is automatically saved when you change something and close the preferences dialog window. May be you need to quit and run your pidgin again for the changes to take effect. -- pidgin does not have Save button to save browser preferences https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195679 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 195679] Re: pidgin does not have Save button to save browser preferences
That is interesting. Is this happening because I am using KDE and (from the screen shot it looks like) you are using Gnome ? I have a browser tab which is utterly useless as far as configuring of a custom browser is concerned. You said, you see this option in Network preferences but does it allow you to save you preference. The main problem here is I CANNOT save my preference. In fact I can NEVER use anything other than my KDE default browser in pidgin. May be the problem you are seeing is another GUI related problem but independent of the one I am talking about. I want to know how can make pidgin remember the browser we enter in the custom browser text box. If pidgin lets you save your browser preferences in Gnome then this is a KDE specific bug -- pidgin does not have Save button to save browser preferences https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195679 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 195679] Re: pidgin does not have Save button to save browser preferences
I tested the same in my Kubuntu 7.10 installation by installing pidgin and setting Firefox as the browser in the Browser preferences. As Alok guessed, I found the Browser tab in Preferences in Kubuntu-Pidgin. Hence this option comes in KDE installation only. But, when I changed the browser from Konqueror to Firefox and closed the Preferences window (there is no save button) and then tried to open a link typed in IM chat window, it correctly opened it in Firefox browser. Hence, I couldn't reproduce the bug specified by the original reporter and the said bug seems to not exist. I therefore close this bug. Let the original reporter or others feel free to open it if it can be reproduced in their installations. ** Changed in: pidgin (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Invalid -- pidgin does not have Save button to save browser preferences https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195679 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 195679] Re: pidgin does not have Save button to save browser preferences
I can reproduce the bug every single time. I tried to close pidgin and restart as suggested by Parthan. But no success. Parthan, Do you use system with only KDE or the one with both KDE and Gnome ? One possibility is that the config file where this is stored is created under ~/.gnome/ directory (and I do not have it). Can anyone please tell me which configuration file is used to store these preferences. I believe it must be some local file stored in either ~/.kde/apps or ~/.pidgin/ I assumed that the file name should be something like pidgin.config so did find ~ -name *pidgin* but no success :( -- pidgin does not have Save button to save browser preferences https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195679 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 195679] Re: pidgin does not have Save button to save browser preferences
I think I am understanding why this is happening with me. On ubuntuforums, I found that Pidgin uses ~/.gaim/ as the directory to store all the configuration files. But I do not have this directory. I just created the directory in the hope that pidgin will automatically create rest of the files but unfortunately pidgin didn't create any. -- pidgin does not have Save button to save browser preferences https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195679 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
