Category: win32 Group: None >Status: Closed Priority: 5 Submitted By: meskibob (meskib0b) Assigned to: Daniel Atallah (datallah) Summary: "Multiple Instances of Gaim" Error Initial Comment: Since I have Gaim as a system tray icon, I sometimes forget to click the tray icon instead of the desktop icon, and then I get the stupid "Error: Already have an instance of gaim running". Is there a way to change the Gaim desktop shortcut to maximize/minimize Gaim instead of trying to create another instance of Gaim? Ideally I would be able to launch Gaim if it isn't running, and then maximize/minimize the buddy list if it is running. Please let me know if there is a patch, plugin, or some sort of fix for this. Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: meskibob (meskib0b) Date: 2005-10-13 12:56 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1294721 Ok. Thanks for all your help. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Daniel Atallah (datallah) Date: 2005-10-13 08:32 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=325843 If you get someone to code it, you certainly could use whatever binary they create. This isn't something that could be achieved with a plugin. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: meskibob (meskib0b) Date: 2005-10-13 07:54 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1294721 So is this something that only I could modify in my own version of Gaim, or would somebody be able create a patch that I could use to get the same effect? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: meskibob (meskib0b) Date: 2005-10-11 22:27 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1294721 Sadly, I'm not. I know a little java and html, but that's of no real consequence here. ..... Yeah.... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Daniel Atallah (datallah) Date: 2005-10-11 21:17 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=325843 If you are C inclined, it should be possible to modify the source to do what you want to do. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: meskibob (meskib0b) Date: 2005-10-11 18:20 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1294721 Would there be anyway to create a patch or plugin for this? Or is it basically stuck until a new version of Gaim comes out? Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Daniel Atallah (datallah) Date: 2005-10-11 16:09 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=325843 It is not currently possible to manipulate the running gaim instance through an external executable. It probably wouldn't be too hard to implement this, but ideally this would part of the gaim-remote functionality (not currently available on win32). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: meskibob (meskib0b) Date: 2005-10-11 14:30 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1294721 If it isn't possible to max/min through the desktop shortcut, is there a run command (Note: I'm on windows XP) or some other process I could manually activate (say through a widget) to max/min the buddy list? I looked at the debug window for when I max/min the buddy list, and it called "gtkappbar: wnd_showwindow". I have no clue how to access that, if it is accessible, but that seems like it would be the best thing to call. Once again, thanks for any assistance with this request. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=200235&aid=1323478&group_id=235 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.
