- Somewhere it lost "reconnect all accounts", and I need to click reconnect per
account.
This should not be necessary, as accounts should automatically reconnect
without user intervention, unless they disconnected for reasons Pidgin
determines are not automatically resolvable (such as incorrect
password). What sort of disconnection results in the accounts being in
this state?
happened to me, too. I am constantly connected to gtalk, YM and ICQ and
sometimes I am simply disconnected and not reconnected to any of them
(and it is for sure not a local network problem, as anything else but
pidgin works ). However I am almost sure that I haven't seen this
problem since upgrading to 2.5.2
- Leaves a mess in /tmp/
What sort of mess? I am not aware of anything Pidgin puts in /tmp - Gaim
used to a long time ago before we switched to using DBUS for remote
control.
I haven't seen anything left by pidgin in /tmp either...
- The file transfer function is completely unreliable and often fails silently,
eg the other end does not even see you're trying to send them a file.
File transfer functionality varies by protocol, and also depends on what
client the other end is using. I agree it is not perfect. Can you be
more specific about what protocol(s) you see this on?
I have huge problems with transfers via YM. I can understand that I
cannot see the photos shared by people using the oficial YM client (the
"share photos" option), but file transfers sometimes work, sometimes
don't. I have been unable to find a repetitive pattern. In the beginning
I thought it's related to me being behind a NAT. Then I thought it's my
firewall. But I was surprised to see that transfers with other pidgin
users work (more often than not). And after a while I realized that even
Windows people can send me files... sometimes. Even when both me and my
conversation partner are NATed. But the big problem is "sometimes".
Bottom line, I can only assume it's a matter of incompatibility among
protocols and that the success of the transfer is dependent on the YM
version used by the Windows user who attempts to send me the file.
