This is, of course, because SourceForge hosts thousands of useful and active projects which use[d] CVS as a primary method of source code collaboration. Unfortunately, when too many users are poking around in that CVS just for the sake of poking around, it prevents other users who are trying to do work to improve those very same projects from accomplishing their tasks.
Naturally, this could easily become true of our Mercurial offering as well. It is better for the community if an enterprising individual wishing to fix a particular bug [s]he has seen can get to the code and create a patch, even if this means that some users have to wait a few weeks for the next release to see what new features it might hold. The third point is not a problem which has yet come up, but it is in the back of the mind of the developers who bring you Pidgin.
As a third-party IM client, Pidgin is not a priority and indeed may be an irritant for the IM service providers. We do our best to keep Pidgin playing nice and being friendly on the IM networks it uses; however, at times there are bugs in the protocol support. If a few dozen people are using this buggy client, the IM providers are not likely to go out of their way to do anything about it. However, if hundreds of people are pointing an ill-behaved client at an IM server, the server administrators may be forced to take action.
This is particularly likely if the buggy behavior is damaging in some way. Pidgin releases represent code which the Pidgin developers feel is relatively well-behaved and stable. This includes not only the interface seen by Pidgin users, but the traffic seen by IM service providers.
Pidgin Mercurial bears no such guarantees. In short, there are a lot of good reasons to not use Pidgin Mercurial if one does not wish to develop Pidgin, Pidgin plugins, or a codebase which interacts with Pidgin in some intimate way.
There are, however, only a few reasons to use Pidgin Mercurial outside of the above. Please weigh these things carefully and decide whether you wish to use Pidgin Mercurial for a good reason which furthers the community, or for selfish reasons which are not entirely important.
You will need to install the libxss-dev package. Check with your distributions package manager for the exact package name. Without this package, it only allows you to report idleness based on when you last sent a message. Powered by Trac 1. Just came across your post. The fix worked for me. Many thanks. February 21, — am.
An Aspell dictionary tarball for Hebrew and for many other languages! However: [1] this is meant for Aspell 0. So, maybe the question becomes: has anyone published a Windows installer for the latest version of Aspell — currently 0. November 5, — am. How do you make the spell check case insensitive? April 5, — pm. Tam, Sorry for not getting back to you. April 10, — am. Is this still relevant as of Pidgin 2. June 19, — pm. Versions 2.
Once you have downloaded a dictionary extension file, you can rename it so it has a. If Pidgin is running, it will need to be restarted for new dictionaries to be recognized. Versions older than 2. July 24, — pm. If that file does not exist, simply create it. As an example, you can put this into. Background colors can be changed similarly, by finding the correct widget names and setting appropriate bg elements.
Other widgets in Pidgin can be controlled in a similar manner. For example, to change the background color for a group, do something similar to the following:. If you want to change the background and foreground colors of your conversation windows, try something like this:.
Windows: You can make Pidgin translucent in most versions of Windows using the "Transparency" plugin that ships with Pidgin for Windows. The X. Support for this is apparently scheduled for inclusion GDK 2. Pseudo-translucency offered by other programs by copying a section of your background image, tinting it, and plastering it onto a window will never be implemented in Pidgin.
Note that if you are using a compositing window manager such as Compiz, you may have global support for modifying the opacity of any window. This method does not require extra support from the applications. Windows: If you just want the buddy list to remain above other windows, you can dock it to the side of your desktop using the "Windows Pidgin Options" plugin and set the "Always On Top" option accordingly. The "Transparency" plugin is capable of making your conversation windows stay on top.
Both plugins are included with Pidgin. In order to create a chatroom, you need to use the "Join Chat Room" dialog and choose a room name that is still free. Some XMPP servers also let you create chat rooms with random room names using the buddy list's context menu. Option 1: ask someone to invite you Ask someone who is in the chatroom to invite you. Option 3: Use the room list In the tools menu, there is an option that shows you a list of chat rooms that you can join.
Please note that this feature doesn't work with all IM networks. Most networks hide rooms from the list that their owner doesn't want to have listed. Pidgin has a persistent chat feature, where you will remain in a chat room even if you close the window. When you open the window again, all the messages that were sent are still there as if the window had been open the whole time. To make a chat persistent, add it to your buddy list, then right click and choose "Persistent" from the context menu.
You will need to restart Pidgin when you have finished. After coercing Pidgin into rereading this file for instance, by restarting it , you can hover over a menu item and hit the keystroke you want to bind to it, and your wish will be granted! You might want to turn off gtk-can-change-accels again when you're done, since it's pretty easy to bind keys by mistake with it turned on. If you're using a recent enough Gnome, you can instead open the Appearance preferences applet, switch to the Interface tab and toggle Editable menu shortcut keys.
You don't need to restart Pidgin if you take the gconf path. If you're using Xfce 4, you also need to have Editable menu accelerators checked in your User Interface Preferences. As of 2. Pidgin uses gstreamer to play sounds. Playing sounds directly through esound or arts is no longer supported.
To compile Pidgin with support for gstreamer you need libgstreamer0. These packages are named differently on different platforms. The "Automatic" option lets gstreamer pick how the sounds are played. We've had a lot of problems with various firewalls, particularly Norton Internet Security and Symantec Client Firewall.
Many firewalls will not fully stop interfering with a program's ability to connect when configured to do so. This is a horribly obtuse error message which simply means that Pidgin was unable to connect to some remote host, probably the IM server you were trying to use. If you are running a Windows firewall product, check the appropriate FAQ question for possible solutions.
Yes, if you set the proxy preference to "Use Environmental Settings", Pidgin will parse the HTTP Proxy setting from Windows as long as you have a specific server set; auto-detection and configuration via. It is relatively easy to set up Pidgin to run from a USB drive. Most of Pidgin is very good about not assuming that it is installed; a slightly customized launcher makes it all come together nicely.
Now you can move the entire portable onto your USB drive e. Follow the instructions here to submit a bug report. Non-current versions have old bugs which may be fixed in the current version--that's why we make new releases. Monotone is frequently unusable because of changes in the code.
Bugs are introduced during the development process and are hopefully fixed before a release is made. Note that Windows Explorer will not allow you create a file that starts with a period; you'll need to use a text editor or rename the file in a cmd shell. You can't manually resize the text input area, nor disable auto-resizing. The area auto-resizes up to a height of half the window height before the scrollbar appears. This is a significant difference from previous versions of Pidgin, and though it was requested more than once, we know it will prove to be a controversial decision.
Fortunately for all of you out there, we also provide plugins to change it. The two plugins we provide are the Timestamp plugin and the Message Timestamp Formats plugin. Timestamp allows you to have iChat style timestamps, but it is implemented to behave slightly differently. In reality, a buddy pounce is much like a macro, or a recorded action.
When you set a pounce on someone, you can choose from a number of events, such as sign on or status change, and then you choose from a number of actions. These actions include everything from playing a sound like an alert would do to sending a message to the person, to executing a command.
Besides, in some document-editing programs like Google Docs, spell check is embedded in this program or extension automatically. WordPad spell check is widely used among Windows users. While it is worth noting that spell check is not available in WordPad and Notepad. Therefore, there is no need to ask how to turn on spell check on or off in WordPad. Therefore, if you want a spell checker in WordPad, you can turn to tools like Grammarly. On Windows 7, 8, 10, there is a system tool to check and correct typing in Microsoft Office.
In this way, if you need it, you can turn spell check on. Otherwise, you can just disable spell checker. For some users, once you noticed that this spell-checking feature replace your word with a false one, or you just show no interest to auto-correct words, try to turn off auto-corrections of typing.
