I did not get that—not as a direct note, nor in a Digest. I have the digests prior and subsequent to that date. Weird.
However, I just realized that my wife isn’t using the Hangouts plugin, so the xmpp: handler will presumably work for her. Not realizing that Hangouts made things different, I’ve been experimenting on my machine. Yep, just VNCed to hers and the xmpp: URI works just fine. Sorry about all the confusion! /me wonders if Pidgin might should issue some sort of error message in the case he hit, though he realizes it’s a rare occurrence… Thanks as ever, Eion! I feel like I’m a high-maintenance user for you, and I sure don’t mean to be.

What was the full URI you were using? Do you have any xmpp accounts set up in Pidgin, or is it still only set up with a Hangouts account?

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 <file:///\\Pidgin\pidgin.exe> --protocolhandler=%1" But: C:\Program Files (x86)\Pidgin\pidgin.exe --protocolhandler=xmpp:xxxx...@gmail.com <mailto:xmpp%3axxxx...@gmail.com> 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:xxxx...@gmail.com <http://gmail.com> ? 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? _______________________________________________ Support@pidgin.im <mailto:Support@pidgin.im> mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
