application hangs with 2.7

Tue Jun 29 16:40:20 EDT 2010

I just created a Windows XP VM so that i could get this script to work
right there:

I haven't yet spent the time to make something that will work right on
Windows 7 / Vista yet, but if you put the following (between ****
START **** and **** END ****) in your pidgin.bat, hopefully the debug
logging should actually work.

**** START ****
SET ProgramFiles(x86)
IF %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 SET PIDGIN_INST_DIR=%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Pidgin
IF NOT %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 SET PIDGIN_INST_DIR=%ProgramFiles%\Pidgin

REM SET PIDGIN_INST_DIR=Z:\YourCustomPidginInstallationDirectory

SET LOCALAPPDATA
IF %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 SET DEBUG_DIR=%LOCALAPPDATA%\.purple\debuglogs
IF NOT %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 SET DEBUG_DIR=%APPDATA%\.purple\debuglogs

REM make sure the debug directory exists
IF NOT EXIST "%DEBUG_DIR%" mkdir "%DEBUG_DIR%"

REM get the date and time
SET dt=%date%_%time%

REM replace the / with - (may or may not exist depending on your date format)
SET dt=%dt:/=-%

REM replace the ' ' with 0 (may or may not exist depending on your date format)
SET dt=%dt: =0%

REM replace the : with . (may or may not exist depending on your date format)
SET dt=%dt::=.%

REM build the logfile name
SET logfile=%DEBUG_DIR%\%dt%.log

REM remove the space that gets created for some reason...
rem SET logfile=%logfile: =%

REM quote logfile
SET logfile="%logfile%"

REM write a nice header
ECHO -------------------------------------------------  > %logfile%
ECHO Pidgin Debug Log For %date% %time%                >> %logfile%
ECHO ------------------------------------------------- >> %logfile%

"%PIDGIN_INST_DIR%\pidgin.exe" -d 2>&1 >> %logfile%
**** END ****

-D
