pidgin installs

[Mestl, Robert R]

Also, noticed the Pidgin Encryption 3.1 lock graphic started missing after this morning's update to 2.7.10...

Re-installed pidgin-encryption 3.1, and it came back...

thx

It's been for all of the pidgin re-installs since I've started using it...  (5+ years ago)

That's what I currently do, it cut-paste a temp saved set of the files I need...

Specifically, it's for the Guifications plug-in...

Is it possible when installing a new version of Pidgin, to not remove the previously installed plug-ins, and have to re-install them?

Kind of annoying each time a new version of Pidgin comes out...




thx

That's unusual - the plugins are removed??? When I am updating, the plugins always stay. Which version did you update? (A workaround for this: Copy the plugin folder before updating and then paste it into the Pidgin folder after the update is done, do not overwrite files to avoid overwriting updated plugins)

What's that? >> Pidgin/pixmaps/pidgin/guifications  You are using PIdgin longer than I do, so this was probably how it worked before, but now, plugins are simply stored inside a folder named "Plugins". Probably that's the reason, why yours are overwritten/deleted ?! Install everything inside the plugin folder, then they shouldn't get deleted.

D.D.
