Well, ok, that’s kinda what I’d expected – I installed Pidgin so long ago that I’ve just let upgrades run without looking (since it’s one of the civilized installers that remembers the options!) and had forgotten it was there.
BUT it is set, and I just reinstalled to be sure. Looking in the Registry, I find: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\xmpp\shell\Open\command] has value "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Pidgin\\pidgin.exe --protocolhandler=%1" But: C:\Program Files (x86)\Pidgin\pidgin.exe --protocolhandler=xmpp:[email protected] from a Run or Command prompt does nothing. I’m starting to wonder about the --protocolhandler option. is it correct? And I’m using the Hangouts plugin; would it still be protocolhandler=xmpp:[email protected]? I notice that Pidgin doesn’t even start when I specify this option, which makes me think it rejected it entirely. --help doesn’t show --protocol. I’m on 2.13.0.

The windows installer .exe has an option to register handlers with XMPP, AIM and something else. The manual way to do it used to be through: Control Panel->Default Programs->Associate a file type or protocol with a program -> Choose default applications by protocol but it looks like they've gotten rid of the option to manually add a protocol to the list now?

Also does nothing from a Run prompt. So I'm back to the original question: how do I register Pidgin to respond to XMPP: URLs? _______________________________________________ [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
