Well thanks for all the info. It would be very helpful if I was a software engineer.
Your Pidgin appears to be a good product if your extremely technical. The rest of us will stick to using Skype or Google natively. I am running version 2.10.7. Upon further reading I did find in your help files how to enable Skype. However, when I try to do so in my copy, Skype is not available in the protocol list under Add an Account Basic. Lastly, before I discontinue this discussion and remove Pidgin from my system……. I really don’t appreciate the response I received from Klearchos-Angelos Gkountras When a user has an issue with your product after following links from your website and takes the time to report this issue to you, it is not the best approach to berate them and explain that it is all their fault. The attitude represented in this initial response is the main reason I will not be using Pidgin any longer. I will also be sure to tell this story far and wide to whoever I encounter who might be considering Pidgin as a tool. <http://www.thefreedictionary.com/cordially> Cordially, Greg From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Eion Robb Sent: Wednesday, August 7, 2013 12:05 AM To: Pidgin Support List; David Woolley Cc: Greg Applegate Subject: Re: Re: I would like a reply to this email Yep, I saw that after I hit reply-all, so forwarded my response to him :) Looks like Reply-All in gmail only replies to the mailing list and not the sender? Also, I talked to the FSF years ago about the licencing thing http://eion.robbmob.com/FSF%20Email.txt I only use operating-system functions in the plugin, so definitely GPL compatible (whether you want to throw in the 'spirit of...' argument is up to you :) ) Cheers, Eion On 7 August 2013 18:37, David Woolley <[email protected]> wrote: As the two people who replied, seem to have forgotten that first time posters don't normally subscribe to the list, I'm forwarding these replies. Please note that I have no personal knowledge of this third party plugin, and have some reservations about whether the licence for the Skype API even permits its use. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: I would like a reply to this email Date: Wed, 7 Aug 2013 13:59:38 +1200 From: Eion Robb <[email protected]> To: Klearchos-Angelos Gkountras <[email protected]> CC: [email protected] No the installer doesn't have an option to install any search engines.  I have had problems in the past with virus scanners giving false positives on the .exe due to multiple levels of compression in the installer, though.
