Re: [Announce] Updated Pidgin (2.10.4; now in the repositories)
 

Which, together with fact that pidgin is basically a gui build over libpurple makes it easier to write something new (gui) using libpurple than port pidgin ;) or port some existing qt gui, e.g. http://www.qutecom.org/ (google returned this to me, I haven't tested if it compiles, in the code there are switches to compile it with either gtk or qt, so if there are no other dependencies - it might be compilable for n9/n950 ;) )

Does this support audio/video calls and file transfers ? Oh and another vote for harmattan version if it does.

Re: [Announce] Updated Pidgin (2.10.4; now in the repositories)
 

Yes, it does. And GTK is already ported to Harmattan by MartinK. So it's only the GUI part that needs to be done

Try to compile and lets test it to see the results! :)

I don't have N9 and I'm too busy with N900 development in my free time to even install N9's SDK and try, maybe someone else who has more time will do that ;) Doesn't N9 have libpurple integrated into messaging system like N900 has? Then, theoretically, one could only compile libpurple and make N9 use the new one instead of stock one (N900 has a package called "Pidgin protocols plugin for conversations and contacts" - http://maemo.org/downloads/product/M...t-plugin-haze/ which does that). I can promise you however that if I manage to enter this year's coding competition and win either N9 or N950, I will try to compile qutecom ;)

Re: [Announce] Updated Pidgin (2.10.4; now in the repositories)
 

I only have 2 questions:

1. Could you please make Album plugin (https://www.guifications.org/project...ory/show/album) works with Pidgin Maemo?
2. Where is your DONATION button? :D

Thanks a lot. Been waiting for too long for this apps to be finally updated ;)

Re: [Announce] Updated Pidgin (2.10.4; now in the repositories)
 

1. Yep, see the first post. If you want other plugins from Purple Plugin Pack, I could also attach them. I've got them all, but I tested only Album so far. I think I'll make a package out of them and put it in the repository soon.

2. It was nowhere to be found, because 1) I don't have a project of my own 2) I was afraid that donations would make me feel obligated to do more work than I'm comfortable with, while I'm here just for fun.

However, after pondering it for a while, even though I haven't started my own project from scratch, I've spent quite a lot of time on Open Media Player and some time on Pidgin too. I just added a donation link to my signature and I guess I'll just wait and see how it impacts the amount of pleasure I get from developing. :)

Does this update affect skype on n900 ?

Re: [Announce] Updated Pidgin (2.10.4; now in the repositories)
 

Wow, thanks. That was a fast response :p
Will try this ASAP

Re: [Announce] Updated Pidgin (2.10.4; now in the repositories)
 

No, in neither positive nor negative way.


I have packaged Purple Plugin Pack today. Album is included, so if you decide to install it from the repositories, it's a good idea to remove the album.so file which was attached in the first post (from "/home/user/.purple/plugins/").

I have also uploaded a small update for Pidgin, in which collapsing and expanding of buddy groups works more conveniently (no accidental expanding while scrolling or long-pressing to collapse).
