| Could be clearer how to set up pidgin with ssh. |

|
|
| I would like to see auto-reconnect be more resilient. I tend to have to manually reconnect after actual network outages. Also, it'd be nice if the encryption plugin knew when to get out of the way. |
|
| Yes! The status msg get lost - and the buddy icons, too! Pidgin: 2.5.2 |
|

|
|
| Pidgin has been running quiet smooth and steady for me past this last year. So my answer is no. |
| Distinguish different account types in Buddy List eg logged in on Yahoo, MSN etc |
|
|
| Stability issues, it crash a lot in v2.5.2 |
|
| In version 2.5.3, on close pidgin resource usage is very high. |
| unability to hide groups sucks, general clumsiness in UI |
|
| ICQ filetransfer |
| Disconnects. |
|
|
| Quite often it shows friends as being logged in when they're not or vice versa. |
|
| Semi-frequent "message could not be sent" errors with MSN, but the buddy's status remains online/available (no apparent reason for the msgs to be rejected). |
|
|
| MSN was crashing a lot in 2.5.2. I hope Mark's work in 2.5.3 had fixed those problems. |
| File transfer speed (incredibly slow on MSN) |

|
|
| When you move a TAB in the conversation window around, you cannot instantly click on another TAB afterwards to switch to the other conversation, you have to click on it twice! |
|
| Small cosmetic issue with custom themes using a patched .uxtheme where the hold-click selection box appears over the first group label in the buddy list window. Can be fixed by clicking the contract button, then the expand button to the left of the group label. |
| Yahoo: Create an option to auto login secondary yahoo profiles, instead of having to go to Accounts -> (Yahoo Account) -> Activate ID |
|
|
|
|
| Pidgin sometimes "crashes" on Sametime login (it's just gone then without saving settings). |
|
|
| None |
| Fix the chat input box please, or I'll switch to Carrier/Fun Pidgin. |
|
| Occasionally, when scrolling through my buddy list, the bottom few pixels of each contact are missing and my buddies are compressed. It's easy to fix by collapsing the group, then expanding it again, and it doesn't happen very often. |
|
| Random crashes in Vista are very frustrating. also it seems incredibly difficult to become a core developer of any sort. With no one willing to assist say, Setting up a development environment for pidgin. Last time I asked about it, I was told not to try to cvs. So I walked away. |
|
|
| Better MSN protocol support and better suport for other protocols as well. Encryption would be nice but pidgin-otr handles it well so it think it wuould be better to improve that plugin rather than including encryption support in pidgin's source. Leave the IRC protocol support as simple as possible, don't put in crap like dccserver. |

| I still see privacy issues in ICQ, one of the most spam-happy networks out there. Truth be told, I don't ever even load the standard client on any of my machines anymore, I just go straight for Pidgin. Can we get a way to set all of the privacy options inside Pidgin? |
|

|
| Have the buddy list show up when i open pidgin, and have a popup when a person says something in a conversation. |
| Better memory usage on windows or an up to date GTK included. |
|
|
| I'd like to see some new looks available by themes (sounds included would be nice) so long as they don't change the position and location of various options. I know skins and themes are mentioned already in the survey but I've wanted them for a while and it's the only thing I can think of that I really want to see. |

| On MSN protocol, occasionally messages are not send due to a "connection error", and sometimes I don't receive messages that were sent to me. |
|
|
| None. Keep it simple. I love that. |
|
| Every now and then Pidgin will crash on me. Besides that I have no complaints. |

|
| more stability improvements |
| There is no sound when receiving new emails, and you can't set the Pidgin icon to make you aware, this is quite annoying. |
| lately, pidgin 2.5.2 for windows crash couple of times a day. I decided to figure out why ? So I decided to download the sources and build a debug version of it. I used your trac system and the instructions but I can't build it ... something in the instructions is missing !!!! |
| Why am I supposed to type a status message when I change the status to offline via the status chooser in the buddy list? I don't get the point here. I know it's only a few seconds I have to wait, but it's annoying. So I got the urge to create myself a custom status 'off' with no status message. |
|
| yes, file transfer speed. Actually is very very slow. When I have to send files, Iswitch to default protocol client to do the task (mostly msn). |
|
| no ... nothing thats really annoying ... |
| Startup time. It takes about 10 seconds for me to get Pidgin "usable". |
| -pidgin is dead slow when oppening windows on buddy that have large conversation history. (due to really large number of file in one directory on windows OS) -interface a bit sad to my taste (i love the floating minimalistic buddy list of adium) -haveing the buddy icon displayed in small (tiny should i say;))in the buddy list when "show buddy details" is off. |
|
| DIrect IM sessions--Images work on some machines, don't work on others. This is really annoying. |
|
| Occasionally, when the LAN goes down or AIM seems to be having trouble, Pidgin will uncheck the "enabled" box next to my AIM account in the Accounts menu. Happens more often than it should. |
|

|
| Better implimentation of custom smilies for MSN (MSN, resizes the smilies, pidgin does not, MSN has a good simple interface for smilies, pidgin does not) |
| Current issues with buddy lists freezing |
| Increased startup time |
| If there is a message that could not be send, i.e. due to switchboard error / connection problem, put it in a queque and retry to send without clutter the chat window with error messages. Only if the sending fails again show a SINGLE error message collecting all the failed messages. e.g.: ----------- The following messages could not be sent due to switchboard error: Hi, I'm trying to using pidgin I'm on MSN now I think that the connection will fail ------------ |
|
|
| There seem to be some annoying file transfer crash bugs although I don't use file transfer enough to reproduce and file a bug report. Possibly just caused by the Arch Linux binary? *shrug* |

| Better support for file transfers in MSN. |
|
| 1) One thing that confuses me...when a pidgin window aside from the chat window has focus (Buddy List, Manage Accounts, etc), and you type, it opens up a little window with that text in it...I probably just need to RTFM and it's working as intended, but who knows... 2) When setting status to Away, you are allowed to enter a message. Prior to version 2.5.2, when setting status back to Available, this message would be cleared automatically. From version 2.5.2 and after, it is now highlighted for manual deletion, which I find annoying. 3) Animated smileys would be awesome (but I assume that is more so on Hylke). I do love the current smileys though! |

| - search as you type in buddy list works strange - file transfers through nat and firewalls |
|
| My ICQ avatar cannot be saved at server, dunno why... |
| Pidgin dies when I have spoken to the same buddy using 2 different accounts (ie, MSN and Jabber, in the same tab), and have run OTR on one or both accounts for the buddy. The error message is something about invalid memory address, can't remember it exactly but it's the standard one Windows comes up with when there is a null pointer exception. Don't know if this is a Pidgin bug or an OTR bug. It doesn't really matter because it only happens when I'm closing Pidgin anyway. |
|
| I frequently get network errors from chatting with my friend who uses MSN. It seems to occur more if she is using the eBuddy chat client than the regular desktop chat client. It is most prevalent at the start of conversations also. She will receive all messages that I send, but I will not get initial replies at all. I have to wait a couple of minutes in to the conversation to actually receive a reply from her. |

| Configuration isn't the easiest thing to set up for people without much computer literacy and the default options might not be the best for them (anecdotal). |
| This may not be the right place to bring it up, but ;-) Bot Sentry plugin still displays a window with the challenge question, even if there was no (or wrong) answer to it. I think, if the answer wasn't given (or was wrong), Bot Sentry shouldn't popup an IM window. |

| Sometimes when I get the dialog box for new mail and I click on one of my accounts, and then click on the 'new mail' button, Pidgin freezes and crashes. On some accounts, such as hotmail, I click on 'new mail' button to check email, Pidgin brings me to a first hotmail website (https://login.live.com/ppsecure/md5auth.srf?lc=1033&auth=EwBoAswbAQAUs1/VcBU2sH7mwYy3BysWZ71CRDGAAP72vQCq00WoRV3AHYHzi/i1xMv//JL7ynijmZ1zF8vWA5nCeENamklzqjjdzZVQNdSf9TSTIlB6yQr9Noa0EZSK3jEl9hrbA3iMXA6AhhOpEiP/U2CMwN8lZ9y57JUo4CA0xXgj60s1xgY5xisnbE/4%2bswjtREF9tWy6hM27RM%2bA2YAAAjdxMiGtmkntbgBUYLUp%2bdvkRFoBMRWMJdzOejwnNjse2AgnKBd6BvatdGIy6ITDVc9YNeCJgZ4wKDsEV/ZhmEFO%2bhpBcM7bq97vxEksoseGh%2br9LWFJmNKj9i/lP5Q6%2bfykN3Im1mSzdLcgXASzi90hVy8HCuX/Mn66SGR8U/IwL/D80NAyTsNScHjjRYlEZlLFEzyU0pIatMuB%2bq/%2bXpKzMlLyLcjTnP3P0okEDRmjnvA/OSPlXnpKw5BO3bBHX%2bkdTVsEsmba0ebjnCEyQStG9zPDojjkRvkuDjkCH0NfBUn8I6nVe5flhsl7SLSdyO2S72ur5wLZac12BcF4wgeCWYfPuZ37ENTYDXc0GiUT2H0S390ETLJStaiRWy%2bO9ZXcs4f8qxN7bLWg/BEGc9fvkL84754MBMxOlwbEK0ItmsODCB5JF1WGX/4fQWSuOm03/bO9OiuPYPPlqlc6bwc6RXd0yWu72mmQ9wbpwm5tynBB0pCZ%2bAYta29x6x6dafuL6fY4zOkOD/cP0iu2pbtpZ8dpg%2bYe2xYNZg0FWfOGf9ysbCnNJ/0c7ufaM2w1WJeDDpsTqUrVPcsoWvFFciGemPAAQ%3d%3d%26p%3d&creds=edaa365873d5335627c8a11d2d250ff6&sl=-45&username=sekune@hotmail.com&mode=ttl&sid=72652&id=2&rru=/cgi-bin/HoTMaiL&svc=mail&js=yes) So I enter my password at the first login site and it still tells me it's wrong.

| Keep fixing the crashes! I had to stop using pidgin for 2.5.0 and only came back after two more releases. |
| It's hard to find updates on the progress/status of development. Unless you monitor the Trac site. Then again, it's free so it's probably best if you're too busy to send out small notices. |
|
|
| It is not very easy to install Pidgin on Linux distributions, especially because of dependencies. |
|
| While I have gotten used to the automatically resizing chat text area, there are days when I really really wish the old version was back. I've never taken the time to implement this myself, but I would love the ability for the double click action on the saved status messages to use the status and close the window rather than open up the editing dialog. I'm much more likely to use that window for selecting a status to use rather than editing them. On Windows (XP), ever so occasionally Pidgin will start but fail to place its notification icon in the system tray. I've not been able to replicate it reliably, but it does mean that I'll sometimes have to kill Pidgin when I lose the Buddy List permanently (it could be opened by launching pidgin.exe--but that's not quite as annoying as just killing it and opening it again). All of these are trivial and pretty much fall under the fix-it-yourself category, admittedly. They are included for completeness. |

| Perhaps bug report on a per-messenger basis? Make it an interface thing to connect/disconnect from specific messengers instead of having to open the accounts window. |
| when i'm swiching pidgin on,he often crashes,freezes... |
| Notification of new messages in task bar in Gnome somewhat buggy. Background windows don't get highlighted for attention like they do in MS Windows. |
|
|
| File transfer can be kind of hokey - sometimes it doesn't work, tells me the other person cancelled the transfer, but the other person tells me that's not true. Also Pidgin seems to crash randomly but infrequently, and seems to disconnect me from servers randomly but infrequently (even when I can verify my internet connection is fine). |
| send and recieve more files/ whole folders at once (ICQ) |
| I'm not sure if this is Pidgin's fault: PulseAudio sometimes crashes, when this happens and Pidgin tries to play a sound, it often freezes and starts soaking up massive amounts of memory. I'd guess this is a bug in the PulseAudio libraries though. Also, a quick note about one of my answers: "Popup notifications (on new conversations, buddy sign/off, etc)" - this is very important to me, however I get this functionality through the pidgin-libnotify plugin already, and this does the job very well. It would be nice to have this plugin built-in to Pidgin though - using libnotify for this job is preferable because it fits in well with my desktop. |
|
|
|
|
| Using special characters in statuses crashes Pidgin. With MusicTracker, this can happen a lot... and crash my client. Pidgin ought to replace these characters with question marks or something. Also, file transfer is very slow and erratic, especially with non-Pidgin users. |
|
|
| Gif support see above |
| No. |

|
| Pidgin steals keyboard focus when it raises a conversation window, which is very bad. I want windows to raise when I receive new messages, but without stealing keyboard focus, especially from another conversation window I'm actively typing in. I also get a lot of reliability problems in MSN. People will talk to me hours and I wouldn't receive a single message, or I'd talk to them and 10 minutes later get errors that everything I've said couldn't be delivered. A lot of file transfers in MSN fail with an incorrect message like "the other user canceled the transfer". And pidgin has gtk version conflicts with Gimp. It's more their problem, but it's very annoying. |

| Pidgin [win32] constantly shows as "Available - Connecting..." 24/7 when I have both of my MSN-protocol accounts enabled. I can chat using both protocols - there is no sign-in problem. If I disable one MSN account, Pidgin shows as fully connected. This occcurs on multiple (freshly-formatted) machines and despite numerous Pidgin version upgrades. |

| I only have a few. Mainly with skinning, and RAM usage. I understand that memory usage is a bit hard to do since Gaim isn't specificaly built for one OS. But I would love for you to reduce memory usage. And I am partially a minimalist in the computer world. Using as little as possible with the most benefits. I would love mini icon sets, and smaller highlights when you double-click to chat with a person. Of course I haven't used every available option so I really don't know. |

|
| I would like to see support for switching the language of the spelling checker per contact in Pidgin itself. I think this is the only plug-in I use from the plug-in pack and somehow it doesn't get built by default in the Ubuntu package (even though the package description mentions it), so I have to jump through hoops to install it. I'm assuming that many of your users don't speak (just) English so, to me, it seems logical to put it in Pidgin itself. If I remember correctly, the reason it doesn't get built by default in the Ubuntu package is that it depends on a spell-checking library. If it's installed, it gets built, if it's not, it doesn't get built; but the configure doesn't check for the library. Something along those lines ... |
|
| Proper status on MSN. |
| - File transfer is _very_ unreliable with all protocols I use. XMPP, ICQ and Bonjour. A fast Bonjour file transfer would be great for our LAN. - XMPP: Creating a chat and inviting user is very hard to find and not intuitive at all. Why is it associated with 'Buddys'? Please consider an alternative menu structure. |
|
| I still find I'm having some issues with file transfer on protocols like AIM and Yahoo. I haven't taken the time to sit down and go through any of the bug reports or submit one myself, however. |
| It disconnects a lot |
| The hotkeys for the conversations should work. So you can close windows with ctrl+w and the tabbing in between conversations should also work. But that is just minor things. |
| - When I go offline and then back online and it logs back in, it checks the email again and displays duplicate notices that I have new email. |
| Support for displaying or sending messages in Traditional Chinese / Simplified Chinese sent by / to others are sometimes not working. |

| Please get ICQ's avatar and away messages working. :o) |
| It sometimes crashes randomly for no reason at all. |
| I turned off the tabs for IM's and I do not like how the IM windows stack exactly right on top of each other when a new IM comes in or you double-click on someone to start a IM. (I'm using XP at work and it does this, and Vista at home and it does the same thing). It would be great if they could cascade by an option or by default. |
| 1. Drag&Drop text in Windows (Ticket #3265). 2. The File Transfer Window often opens up in the wrong monitor. |

| I would like to be able to log out as a certain status (let's say away) then login (with saving my password and having auto login on) and be able to change my status before hand.

|
|
| Free the handle of a sent file so it can be deleted after sent!! (v.old bug) Closing tabs with the shortcut key (Ctrl+W) will crash the client sometimes. |
|
|
| Telling it to use a specific status on next login doesn't work, it still defaults to the status used on logout. |
| Remove the plugin and make it default that new program updates are notified about or even downloaded and auto integrated. |
|
|
| Constantly getting messages bounced and having to retry/retry/retry or logout/in to fix it. A regularly updated Ubuntu version would be great too, but I appreciate that's done by a 3rd party. |
| The update process on Windows is a bit of a hassle... go to the website, download the installer, quit pidgin, run the installer, restart. Most programs these days have a more streamlined update process that happens without any interaction once the user clicks OK. |
| None right now. Occasionally a release has a major flaw (missing dll error that turned out to be harmless, crash on buddy list tooltip). |
| Myself, along with 2 other software engineers I work with, have failed to be able to build on Windows. This is a huge annoyance, especially because I want to debug into it, since it crashes so often. |
| Screen space wasted by buddy list. Single-clicking on name could, e.g. expand the line to show more details (like in Skype). Translucency of buddy list; ability to hide window decoration; background image support for buddy list. (In fact, I want some of Miranda's frosting -- Miranda's options are too complicated, but on the other hand they enabled me to use an IM client that looks very simple / sleek.) |

| I would like to be able to handle the join a chat process (Control-C) , completely mouse-free. Right now I need to use a mouse to change the Account value. |
|
| The buddy details pops up very fast ...causing fireworks effect. |
|
| Native Windows Client? Pidgin/GTK on Windows feels somewhat "displaced", especially the file upload dialogue... |
|
| The dialog for connecting to accounts is confusing. Nowhere in Windows will checking a checkbox instantly cause something like your account to be immediately signed on. I never have quite figured out the automaticness of the available / away message thingie. |
|
| Idle just does not work for me sometimes. I have seen where my account will just not go idle even after the default time period. Or I have seen my account go idle, but then when I come back to the computer, it stays idle no matter what I do, and I have to restart the program. I am not using idle-maker either. It's a minor thing, but I'm sure other people see it too. Also the buddy icon system gets screwy sometimes and will not show up for a few days. |

| Copy/Pasting formatted text tends to reset the format of subsequently typed text back to the default. |

| On Linux when I loose internet connection, my AIM account doesn't auto-reconnect. |
|
| 1. If someone signs off during a MSN group chat, you have to switch tabs and back in order to be able to invite someone 2. Better support for animated MSN custom smilies 3. Gmail notifications -- Say you have 3 new messages and get a notification for 3. You read one of them, and pidgin brings up another notifcations saying 'you have 2 new messages'. |
| Better support for Windows98 and KDE4 |
| Pidgin on both Windows XP and Vista will slowly inflate its memory usage under normal use until the point it crashes. It usually reaches about 150 MB before it dies. It is incredibly annoying. |
|
| Using XMPP against an OpenFire Jabber server, Pidgin frequently fails to show when buddies have become Idle. Frequent manual restarts of Pidgin are required to fix this. |
| Renaming buddy aliases don't always sync up with the server it seems, not to long ago I created a new ~/.gaim directory and added my accounts back and noticed that some old user aliases where back, I'm not sure if this is supported by all protocols. IRC support, I get a lot of chat windows up on connect from version check bots and the like, the windows are totally meaningless, I'm not going to talk to the CTCP version bot or the NickServ more that pigdin already has done for me. |
| since 2.5.1 or 2.5.2 pidgin likes to disconnect often while using gadu-gadu. it's not a big problem, but it's pretty frustrating. also i'd have to say i use 2.5.3 version for like 10 minutes right now and sending images in gadu-gadu doesn't work correctly :) |
|
| One little thing : dispay buddy icon not visible to windows users (I'm on linux) |
|
|
| One should be able to use different smiley sets for different accounts |
| Let's say I run Pidgin on my laptop, and the official MSN client on my desktop. If I delete aa contact on the desktop then later sign into Pidgin on the laptop, I'm asked about a synchronisation issue between local and server buddy lists. This wouldn't be so bad if Pidgin didn't bug me about these issues on every single sign on, for every single discrepency it finds. Why do we need this local buddy list? Can't Pidgin just take what the server (which is the ultimate authority, after all) says as gospel truth? |
| I can't think of any. |
| - Status settings at bottom of buddy list window are a bit big - Windows version of Finch might be nice |
| The contacts search feature really needs work. It's damn difficult to search for contacts by typing in their names/IDs in the Buddy List. It's pretty hit-and-miss at best and not at all intuitive. Something that works a bit like Launchy's matching procedure (for example, the Buddy List may be narrowed down towards more relevant results as the user types, while other contacts are hidden) would be welcome. Also, search should automatically include offline contacts, even if they're not set to visible. Definitely need a better look overall, too. Atleast for Windows, you could ship with a nice, distinctive GTK theme pre-included, correct? Somebody should definitely make a slick theme for this great application! |
| Being able to have custom messages in MSN. In Windows Live Messenger you can have a message that is printed behind your username. |
| i wish you could see the message people write popup at the bottom before i click to see what they said |
|
| Better handling of changes to outlook buddy lists between computers. I delete a buddy on one computer and spend the next couple of weeks having to re-delete the buddy on the other computers I use because pidgin keeps wanting to add him back in. Icons to quickly indicate which networks are connected and which not. Could be as a tool-tip over the "available" combo, although ideally as icons so I can see at a glance. |
|
| When switching networks (ethernet to wifi, internet to vpn, etc), Pidgin frequently crashes. Also sometimes Pidgin crashes when disabling an IM protocol that is acting flaky. |
| Pidgin 2.5.3 crashes when I try to close it (Program not responding...) on Windows Vista Home Basic 32bit |
|
|
|
|
|
| Odd crashes here or there on vista x64 when closing client (hard to hunt down) Creating chats could have a better GUI, or an ability to drag and drop contacts from the main list into a chat to add them. |
|
| 1. Great problem with displaying Ukrainian symbols like "?, ?, ?". There are many crossover topics in the trac but no one solves the problem. "³¿º" seems not very elegant in the 21st century. 2. Those dumb, foolish, and illegible smiles and no collection of others to change on the official site. Default skin might be more nice also. 3. Absence of deb package for Ubuntu on pidgin.im. |
|
| I would like to be able to set a directory for pidgin to always send transferring files. Sometimes it's annoying to have to go through the process of selecting where to put the file, especially since I always put new files in ~/??????. |
|
|
| performance problem with lot of smiles |
|
| right now, none. |
|
| It does not appear possible to add a buddy from with in finch. |
|
|
| New mail notification is a bit flakey. Messages seem to use some system time for timestamps, rather than a "Pidgin standard," resulting in a different timestamp scheme for the same version of Pidgin used across multiple platforms. A native Mac port would be greatly appreciated. I'd say the main reason I use Pidgin is because it's cross-platform and works on my Windows and Mac machines, making my logs mostly compatible (save the timestamp issue). |

| In many Chats over icq additional characters often can't be displayed. I am a german user, and i would be glad if this were be fixed someday. |
|
| I very much dislike the automatic scaling of the text input box and would like to see that as an option able to be turned off. if i want to set my text input area to a specific size i should be able to |
| The Buddylist always clears, when i'm switching to offlinemode The status-messages beween pidgin- and icq-clients won't work properly. |
| This program is a bit unstable, have ocassional crashes. (almost all experienced in MSN, that´s the protocol i most use) |
| In FreeBSD, the binary for Firefox 3.x is called firefox3. This confuses Pidgin so I had to make a link to firefox3 called firefox so Pidgin would recognize it again. |
|
| Full speed MSN file xfers. MSN custom icons sent from other users don't always show up. AIM status doesn't always update when pidgin status changes. |
| Sometimes crashes, but I'm using 2 'unofficial' plug-ins that might well be causing this: MusicInfo & the Facebook IM thingum. Would be nice if some sandboxing could be done so it doesn't crash the whole thing. |
|
|
| I want to be able to put up custom away messages, instead of status messages. |
|
| Sometimes alls the contatcs lines are smaller than it should be, when I clic on them they get back to their normal size. It's not a major problem but I will be nice if it will be fixed. |

| When it fails to connect several times, I will have to restart pidgin to try and connect again. |
|
| Ticket #4509 - support invisibility in GTalk |
| I keep getting a dialogue box saying that one of my buddies isn't in a particular section do I want to fix it? I always choose yes. Everytime I start up Pidgin, it asks me again. This started happening this past month, it didn't do it before and I haven't reconfigured the account. I often have trouble keeping my AIM account logged in. It drops that connection a lot. |
|
| Better updates, as initiated by Pidgin. For one, I'd like to skip certain version because I do not believe it's worth the hassle of installing an update. That's another thing -- update process should be much more silent than it already is -- just use the same setting as previous install. If i wanted to change anything, I'd initiate an update myself. |

| My buddy list is usually docked on the right in XP. I can never get to the Tools or Help menu without making my buddylist bigger, then switching it back afterwards. Scrollable menus perhaps? |
|
| orphans list always shows up. Needs to have a fix for that. Try and bring back resizeable chat window typing section |
| Group chats are hard to figure out. 1st time I did one...I wasn't sure what was going on. Streamlining the procedure for this would be nice. Like an "Invite someone to the conversation" button or something. |
| * donation option? * official .debs * I think maybe explanation/documentation on what some of the protocol options are could be useful (not everyone can look at RFCs). Granted, I haven't looked much at the developer's section so that might be there. This is probably not important for the average user and is probably outside the scope of your work, just thought i'd throw it out there. |
|
| I'm tempted to put this in major because of how annoying it is: On Windows, the flashing windows in the task bar upon new messages is VERY inconsistent. Sometimes it flashes and stays orange (highlighted), other times it flashes and then becomes normal again. Sometimes it doesn't even flash. I never know when some window has new messages. Also on Windows, it is very annoying that new chat windows steal window focus. It's fine if the new window pops up, but let it pop up minimized. Focus stealing is terrible when talking to somebody else (message sent to the wrong conversation) and during gaming. |

| An official guifications like plugin. Or the way emesenes' libnotify plugin works. Like it pops out of the panel not what the current Pidgin Libplugin does. Pops out how Guifications does. But I think the libplugin is 3rd party? If so. Make one please ;) |

| I would like to be able to switch between a fixed-width font and a variable width font more easily. Me and my co-workers send a lot of code snippets back and forth, or diag output - the sort of stuff that needs a fixed-width font to allow readability. Having to go to "font", change it, paste the text, then go back to "font" and change again is a pisser. We end up using most everything in fixed-width, but non-programmers find that annoying ... |
| Size of the chat input box is still not manually resizable. |
|
|
|
| copy pasting from firefox to chat window leaves text styled. there should be an option to turn this off. |
| I would expect to be able to resize the chat input field by dragging the separator, but that doesn't work (maybe there is an option hidden somewhere for it, but it doesn't bother me enough to search extensively to see if one's there) |

| pidgin-facebookchat is unstable as frick and pidgin is CONSTANTLY crashing on me. |
|
|
| I really have to switch to Kopete at work because the cleartext password thing is a real issue. Anyone can su my account and read my NFS mounted /home directory. All I need is a gnome-keyring plugin feature for pidgin but it is probably the most incredibly important feature there is. (It's also worth noting that not saving passwords causes the interface to lock up a bit when multiple password pop ups for your accounts. Everything else is perfect - and I mean that. Pidgin is a very good product. |
|
| Please reduce resource usage (memory and cpu). |
|
|
|
| yes, the googletalk add account isn't perfect and need polish |
| - Better documentation for developers - Better stability. Too often I see crashes due to things like null pointer dereferences that should be caught in testing. - Better wording. Eg, in the buddy list during subscription you get things like "Subscription: From (To pending)" which I don't think is clear at all to someone who doesn't know XMPP jargon. |

| occasionally, when logging in, i must change my status to "offline", then go back to "available" to connect. also, sometimes saved statuses when selected come up blank. this seems to happen when i create the new status and selecting the "make this my current status" checkbox. for that session of pidgn, that specific saved status will always read blank. |
|
|
| It doesn't play a sound when I receive a message in a chat (MSN protocol) session (neither it uses the URGENT flag of my window manager); with a single person talk it plays normally the sound and set the URGENT flag. Sometimes it doesn't receives off-line messages (using MSN protocol). Also, sometimes it's difficult to talk to somebody who is on the "invisible" state (I receive their messages only after some minutes, if we stay some time without talking). It seems to be related with Pidgin "disconnecting" the direct connection after 1 minute (and then I receive the person's message from MSN server, instead directly from them). |

So "??????????" transform to "gdp`bqrbsi". After googling i found the explanation, but i'am not able to fix it myself, This bug take place when somebody try to send CP1251 as ASCII, Pidgin on windows convert such "Pseudo-ASCI" in the wrong way, Hey? i am sure that you don't understand me, nevermind. (this bug takes place only in windows, linux version works splendid) Also i have some problems when recieve messages which were send to me, when i was offline. i suppose that it is the problem whith encoding (i use cp1251) it will be cool to fix them |

| It seems a bit strange to me, that you can add the same ICQ-Buddy with one ICQ Account twice without even beeing asked about that. It would be nice, if there was a simple notice in the "Add Buddy"-window that the Buddy I try to add is already in my List. Then I could be sure, that I have the Buddy in my list. Additionally, I think the "Sounds when conversation has focus"-Option should be converted to a radiogroup or selectbox with the options "Only when focus", "Only when not focused" and "both". The single checkbox seem abigous to me, because it's not clear what happens when the radiobox is checked. Do unfocused windows play sounds when this box is checked or do the only play sounds when its not checked? |

| I'd love to see the update process integrated into the client, without having to download the latest build and installing again but rather a true update. This is the same problem applications like iTunes have and it makes me delay updating at times. An update similar to Firefox (download in background and install on next startup) would be perfect. |
| Sometimes when one of the accounts is down it don't reconnect automatically. I must go to Manage Accounts deactivate and then turn it on again so the enter password prompt is shown and I finally can reconnect. |

|
| All them have been fixed in Pidgin 2.5.3. |
| Memory usage climbs when it shouldn't have to. I can see Pidgin taking 13mb or so, but climbing to almost 30mb is a bit too much. |

| -Automatic updates -Ability to show offline buddies as a separate category as opposed to intermixed with the main buddies -Working unicode support on Windows -Fix ICQ privacy settings -Failing to login shouldn't automatically disable an account, if the host simply didn't resolve, etc. Anyone using a wireless connection and sleeping their laptop finds this exceedingly annoying when Pidgin tries to connect before the wireless has established its connection. Rather than just waiting for Pidgin to retry, a user has to open up the buddy list and fix it themselves. -Hiding the buddy list should work better. Currently if you open the buddy list via the icon, then have another window covering it, rather than double clicking the icon in the system tray again and having the buddy list bring itself to the top and grab focus, instead it hides the window completely. The window is already hidden by another window, why would I want to close it by double clicking the icon? Trillian makes a lot more sense in this respect, and this behavior is exceedingly annoying. |

| One minor quirk might be that I would have two IM windows open and chatting, and when typing to one friend, the other IMs me and all of a sudden what I was in the middle of typing in one window, would automatically start typing in the other, who just sent me a response. That is annoying. However, I may have noticed that that did not occur after downloading the v.2.5.3. I'll have to pay closer attention. If fixed, then BRAVO!!!

| I have one major complete, be nice if you would release updates for Debian packages but is compatible with kde 3.5 because i am not ready to switch to a newer kubuntu 8.1 yet. I am using 2.5.2 with kubuntu 8.04, and if you people do decide to release debian updates, make them so they aren't dependent on other depencies with linux, its annoying. and plus i i don't like compiling, its annoying and never does work right when trying to compile the stupid source. i like pre maid already. I like pidgin, but be nice if there were debian installs but not so heavy depentent on other debian packages. |
| Feature request: Integration with Gnome Keychain? |
| I would like to see file transfer fixed when using the Google Talk protocol, as at the moment I am unable to transfer files; some have suggested this is because Google Talk uses a proprietary file transfer method as opposed to Jabber's default. I would also like to see faster MSN file transfer, as transferring files through Pidgin to a Windows Live Messenger user via the MSN protocol is significantly slower than when I use Windows Live Messenger. I can not explain why this is. |
| In yahoo there is a "stealth settings", but I can't see my current status for individual buddies by just looking at their icons in buddy list, ( this is possible in yahoo messenger ) Pidgin, as a gnome application, doesn't use gnome-keyring. I think pidgin can benefit from tighter integration with gnome. (and a fork/new client for windows like adium for OS/X) |

|
| I have tabs grouped by account. Whenever Pidgin creates a new window, it places it on top of the previous one. I would prefer to Pidgin to either cascade the windows or remember the positioning for different accounts. It's frustrating to have all the windows place right on top of eachother. |
|
| Transfering files over Jabber (Google hosted) to GTalk users doesn't work at all. |
| It would be nice to have a different kind of chat for IRC. I usually use the Chatzilla extension for Firefox if I need to connect to an IRC network because Pidgin scatters everything all over the place, while most IRC clients keep it pretty unified. |
|
|
| Plenty. Every time there's a new release of Pidgin more things seem to break. It was more-or-less perfect in 2.4.x. I just have this feeling that there's not much testing going on for the Windows version, especially since 2.5.3 now freezes every time I try and turn it off. I have a feeling some of these bugs are reported but some of them have yet to be fixed, which is a bit strange since as they didn't exist in previous versions, you'd think they'd be pin-pointed straight away. |
|
| I use a dark theme, and the 'new message' icon shown at the top of the main chat window, has an annoying white background, unlike the icon used in the systray. |
|
| AIM: Reporting away time has been broken ever since the first release of pidgin IRC: 1. There is no ability to format responses without the use of a plugin 2. Auto-rejoin doesn't work Logger: 1. Searching and displaying log files should not freeze Pidgin 2. There needs to be an option to log sessions or days. I'm in an IRC chatroom all day and all of the logs are squished together which makes for horrible searching and confusion as to what day it was |
| New away messages do not use the default text color. Using the same color requires choosing the color specifically in the away message dialog. |
| Managing display pics is confusing... There seems to be per-account DP settings, as well as an application wide DP setting. Needs to be simplified (or at least clarified) |
|
| Better file transfer support. |
| None. |
| The text input field is not static. It seems to be minimized until i begin typing. Once I start typing, it raises to a normal vertical size. Not really a huge problem, as I've already gotten used to it, but I always preferred the static text input of previous versions. I'm not sure if this is an unknown bug or an intentional feature to save space when you're not typing, but I first noticed it about three or four versions ago. |

| A handwriting, voice clip and winks patch for MSN has been available for almost 20 months now. While this patch "needs improvement", it would be nice if the developers took a look at this and improved it so it could be officially merged into the client. Also felipie forked the MSN part of the pidgin to write his own msn-pecan. It would be nice to see him be an official part of pidgin working on the MSN protocol directly rather than going through the loops of almost rewriting the entire MSN communication library. This would ensure that all his "important" patches can be merged to the existing MSN code (even on a new branch, and then later accepted into the main branch), so that the efforts of so many people are not wasted doing the same thing over and over again. |
| On the newest Pidgin ( 2.5.3 ), when I have Autoaccept turned on, and attempt to shut Pidgin off, it crashes and I have to turn on Task Manager to shut down Pidgin. |
| msn support is still extremely buggy for me. Takes a long time to receive messages, messages don't go through and pidgin does not tell me about it, etc. |

| * contact filter input box on contact list or shortcut * sync 'saved statuses' with different pidgin installations somehow * sync im history to remote pidgin / usb dir * contact list grouping is optional, i.e. one big list, accounts are differentiated by icons. * log encryption / master password * font selection in log viewer |

| ICQ encoding problems. Problems with vivibility (invisible status) in ICQ |
| An easy option to completely clear my status and go back to "Available". When I have an away message on and click Available, it changes into an Available message. I don't like that. |

| Smiley selection in the chat window should not be a window but a popup menu like the font formatting popup menu. |
| MSN file transfers don't always work and are very slow. |

| Add more keyboard shortcuts, better handling of buddy icons for yahoo protocol, better interface for handling contacts that actually include multiple adresses. |
|
|
| It would be nice to have the ability to hide the buddy icon and status box without the use of a plugin. Also, having the ability to auto-accept file transfers would be amazing. Most users are idiots, but don't forget the power users who actually know what their needs are. |
| The only feature that I'd like to see appear in Pidgin is the fast transfert protocol in MSN |
|
| Better Away-Message options |
| - When browsing for avatar images, images with a large width will stretch the window. - Your current font and its color/style is changed when you copy a text, so you have to ctrl+R to undo this all the time. Most people probably don't know this and have to do this manually. |

I'm not sure how the buddy grouping is saved, but it will occasionally split up my buddies when I log in at home vs. at work. Again, minor but noticable. |

| Better support for ICQ away-messages and ICQ in general. Why do I have to enter a message if I want to go offline but don't want to close pidgin? |
| Better chat log window (don't create one entry for every login/Pidgin start (?)) Less cluttered buddy list context menu |
| The "Not In List", "Non-IM Contacts", and "Other Contacts" groups that I can't remove from the buddy list interface. I'm unsure why I'm being forced to look at them when I'd rather them not be there at all. |
| Keep working and themes (I would love a dark theme built in on default) and performance + memory enhancements. |
| A few... 1) When I copy-paste text from a web browser (or the chat window) in MSN, it changes the font color. Since MSN doesn't support multiple colors/styles in the same message, this usually just messes it up. Since I use MSN as my main IM service, I'd at least like to have an option to set Ctrl-V to "Paste as Plain Text" rather than just Paste. 2) I don't like how the box where I enter text resizes as I'm typing into it. It's not a make-or-break issue, but it's a bit annoying for me personally. 3) My friend who uses the official MSN client has told me that a lot of my offline messages (sent by Pidgin) come in out-of-order, more than when I used the official client. I don't know what you can do about this, however. 4) Could the "[name] is typing..." message be visible in the chat window even when I'm not scrolled all the way down? Sometimes I'm scrolled up to review things said earlier, but still want to be able to see if they're typing things to me. 5) Pidgin crashes for me once in a while in the middle of conversations, but so far I haven't been able to track down what the cause of it is. Fortunately, it's not all that often. I think that's it. |

| Blocking of a person that consist of multiple accounts. Doesn't work as expected if one of the accounts is already blocked and the other not. It's not clear if the person is blocked or not (sometimes displays blocked-icon while only 1 account is blocked) and block / unblocking toggles the block-status rather than blocking/unblocking all the accounts. |

|
| I read the chagelog for the latest release, but I am not sure if this was fixed yet, so please forgive me if it was. The auto-away message behavior is inconsistent for me. This occurs on the Win32 client. Usually, when I move the mouse after the auto-away has been set, the status goes back to "Available" as it should. However, sometimes the status does not change at all, it will stay as "Away". So, I click on the status menu and select "Available" with the green circle. The status changes to green, but the message does not. So my status is green, but the message says "I'm not here right now." I then have to go and delete the "I'm not here..." message. |

| Buddy list groupings are confusing when using multiple protocols. |
|
| IRC is somewhat unstable. Settings is sometimes cofusing. |
| Everytime Pidgin starts I get an error about buddy list synchronization. it says "Buddy list synchronization issue in ******@hotmail.com (MSN) *****@hotmail.com on the local list inside the group "MSN" but not on the server list. Do you want this buddy to be added?" Even if I click yes the error will return at next log in because of the second error. "Unable to add user" "Unknown error (241)" |
|
| The text input box goes far too small, and is no way to disable it resizing. |
| emoicon management |
| When a new conversation is started, I'd like to see a few lines from the previous conversation with that person automagically appear in the chat window, to provide me with some context. Or, better yet, maybe some way to tie the log contents into the conversation window itself as opposed to making it accessible via the menu. |
|
| how much fatter the buddy information is when details are shown. I'd like to see it flatter than when no details are shown but with the status or away still shown. |

| i really don't like the way we change the status/status message. I don't know if my friends see what i'm listening to. my lame frinds use shit like colors in nick names, if i can't see them, at least remove those tags ([b][/b], etc). I would be good to have a central place where we could see all available plugins and install the ones we need, like addons for firefox, etc. |

| I keep getting an error "Unable to Add User" after upgrading to 2.5.2, gets annoying |
|
| 1) Apparently random crash bug that causes the text to randomly increase in size in both the buddy list and the conversation window and then crashes- rare enough that I cannot be bothered tracking it down, but annoying nonetheless. 2) Automatically resizing input box is both useful and annoying at the same time. A compromise might be something that sees the text sized decreased dynamically. 3) Better IRC support would be nice, but not crucial. 4) The use of GTK is terrible. Fonts do not display the same way they go out and changing fonts effectively in the GTK config files is a nightmare that I don't have the time or the inclination to deal with. It doesn't help that GTK's help documents are so bad they should be declared a federal disaster zone. |
| I don't used a taskbar, and one of the things I find annoying is getting my message boxes to pop up, if, for instance, I have my browser maximized. With Gaim 1.5 this worked pretty well when using always on top in conjunction with raising the window; when I did this I could minimize a window and it would pop up when I got a new message. I can't seem to find a system that works in a way I'm totally pleased with right now. When I minimize a window it stays minimized until I alt+tab to it or click on my systray icon. |

| Why is there a big title bar with an icon telling me "() Buddy Name" and then a huuuuge tab devoted to "() Buddy Name" when they don't even have a buddy icon to display? Guys, make the UI less redundant! Skins may help in this area (let users create more minimalist/clean interfaces), but I think that's overkill considering how pristine Clearlooks is. (and adding another layer of rendering on top of GTK may be a little much) It may be GTK's fault, but window rendering tends to be rather sluggish. This is worse on Windows than Linux. Redrawing when another window passes over a Pidgin window in WindowsXP tends to leave artifacts and another nasties behind. And where's the option to make escape close a window! It used to be there - now I have to fish around my gtkrc! |

| This is already reported in the tracking system, but I'd love for pidgin to always show the people I have marked to "Show when offline." Sometimes they don't appear, unless I tell pidgin to show everyone offline then turn that option back off. Sometimes, they simply disappear after having been online for awhile. |

| x - Filetransfer with ICQ and multiple files |
|
| The plain text passwords are annoying, but I understand the reasoning. |
| I use Adium, which has encryption built in. However, its awful at figuring out when other people have disconnected from the encrypted chat- when someone logs out, for instance, it sends me a message saying i should cancel the encrypted chat but it doesn't do it for me. |
|
|
|
| I am not sure if it's the receiving person's internet connection but I experience a lot of messages failing to be delivered. |
| I would like auto-reconnect after disconnect persistently. Our internet connection will be down for 5-10 minutes and Pidgin doesn't keep reconnecting. By the time out internet comes back I have to manually reconnect or I will be offline for the rest of the day. |
|
| File transfers don't work consistently. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Yes! When autoaccepting filetransfers, the transfer in progress window pops to the forefront of any active convos: result is that the convo is interrupted by this intrusive, unwanted, un-needed filetransfer window which starts accepting text input by default - bad stuff. Also, MANY of my friends have no idea where their autoaccepted filetransfers end up by default - apparently in some obscure Purple directory - PLEASE make this more transparent and easy to customize, as I am tired of answering this question from contacts almost every day :-/ |

|
| Pop-Up Notifications. I use a plug-in, now, or it would have gone into the major section. |
| I am extremely happy with the logging that Pidgin does and that it can also read the logs from Trillian, but I do find it annoying that it does a file for each day for each person you are talking with. I think it would be much better if there were one file person and then time and date coded sections for the day. |

| Sometimes the text I just sent doesn't show up unless I click in the message log box. |
| a notification of a video/voice chat request would be nice even if there isnt support maybe a notification saying so? |
| An optional single-window interface would be nice, especially for users of tiling window managers. If the buddy list and chat windows could be combined into one master window with a buddy side bar, Pidgin would be just about perfect for me. |
| It might be nice to write instructions for POSIX distros. into INSTALL or elsewhere. Configure on Slackware (SLamd64, which uses all Slackware packages and version numbers) says gtkspell is missing, and the next times it says gstreamer, meanwhile, avahi, nm are missing. That is somewhat unfortunate for the oldest, quickest-installing of the powerful distros, though if you add the info for the rest 1st you might of course get less questions. |

|
| Lack of Automatic updates |
| - Outgoing colours in Yahoo Messenger messages are not supported as pidgin sends hex colors such as "FF0000" but the official client (and Trillian) only decodes codified colours such as "m31". However, all colours from all clients are decoded correctly - Pasting in copied text from the Notepad++ website on sourceforge (front page feature list) can result in javascript and other weird things appearing mid-message and being rendered incorrectly in all cases. Pasting as plain text probably works more like expected. Tested with an outdated version of Pidgin, may be fixed in newer versions - HTML is not correctly escaped to entities in Yahoo (not sure, tested with old version) - Please allow a variety of brush stroke widths in the whiteboard/drawing feature under Yahoo. With a variety of brush sizes (like the official client) much more exciting effects can be achieved, and even backgrounds can be coloured in ;-) |
| memory consumption but should not be a problem since computers are getting more and more faster and larger. |
| After five years of using pidgin/gaim I still can't _reliably_ receive files from my contacts (I hardly ever send). I'm tired of telling people to use the mail. There should be a setting that makes pidgin automatically send a message to those that try to send me files: "no can't do. use the mail buddy" :) |
| Version 2.5.3 seems to crash when it is quit on Windows Vista. The menu which appears when you right click on the pidgin icon in the system tray is sometimes buggy (sometimes refuses to disappear when you click elsewhere on the screen) |

| -File transfer and Images does not always work on AIM with Pidgin |
| A contact filter box would be very much welcome. (Adium, MSN Messenger for Windows and Google Talk app for Windows all open up one when you start typing while the contact list has focus; Adium also includes Cmd-F, can't remember right now about the others. Preferably, when doing so, all contacts which might be hidden by some preference, like offline contacts, should also be eligible for filter results; Adium and GTalk already use this behavior.) |

Also, I seem to have a problem with the buddy list where I move a buddy to the group I want it in, but the next time I log in, it is moved back to the group it was in before where it does not belong. I would also like to see an option for each account to show the screen name for the buddy in the buddy list or to show the nickname. Sort of a toggle button. |

|
| Yes : - The typing indicator isn't very convenient. I've seen that it was often discussed but I'm convinced that its place is under the text input area as a text displaying or as an animation. The typing indicator has to be duplicated on the tabs in order to see activities in other tabs (it's already done and must be keeped). - The place of the buddy icon right to the text input area is better than the current one I think. - I don't understand why the text input area is not resizeable any more... |
| Ever since I upgraded to 2.5.3, Pidgin freezes up sometimes when I close it. 2.5.2 never did this. |
| When you mouse-over a group name, a tooltip appears displaying some information about that specific group. This is useless information that just gets in the way. The total number of buddies is already displayed next to the name when that group is minimized, as is the group name.., and both are displayed in the tooltip. The tooltip should either be removed when it's open, or you should find a way so it doesn't block the list of buddies that you're trying to view. |

| Since I'm in Germany right now (American citizen), I am using an American keyboard. This means I have to find a different way to type "umlauts" or äöüÖÜÄ, or the "scharfe S", ß. I did this through AutoHotKey (another opensource program) making use of the [right alt] and [right shift] button combinations as I don't normally use these repeated keys. For some reason I'm unable to use these key combination in Pidgin, but I'm able to put them in notepad and copy them over. It is because of this that I still use the native ICQ client (because ICQ is wildly popular among German youth) in order to be quick in my responses. It didn't bother me at first to use it, but with the annoying skin of the new ICQ and the ever-increasing advertisements, I was really hoping that the 2.5.3 release of Pidgin would fix this problem. If it is at all feasible, this would be the only bug I have found that I would like fixed. |

| Font sizes on yahoo, when communicating with users of the standard yahoo client, differ (e.g. I, using pidgin, am writing with larger fonts from their pov, whereas my conversation looks 'normal' - same default fonts.

| Informations about msn users are always unavailable (actually I never use this and links to live spaces pages do the trick). When someone disconnect and leave a group empty it's still displayed even if "show empty group" and "show offline buddies" are unchecked. Perhaps it has already been fixed, I'll try to reproduce this bug on 2.5.3 soon. |

|
| Make it flawless enough to make crashes rare. Keep the protocols upto date. |
|
|
|
|
|
| I would really like to be able to send custom animated smileys. |
|
|
|
| - use ideatorrent (as used by Ubuntu Brainstorm) to unclutter the tracker from feature requests |
|
| Recall and tab shifting mentioned above :D |
| Notification for protocol changes during chat. UI selection for the prefered settings folder (the folder used for storing settings/blist etc.) |
|
| probably some, can't think of any atm |
| ICQ-users can't see my status note |
| MSN keeps disconnecting when using a 64kbps ISDN connection and surfing the net (MSN Messenger does not do this) |
| auto update like Firefox |
|
| One minor issue is the custom animated smileys that don't work, and they should, i guess. |
|
| Automatic update (something like "a news version blah blah, chagelog, and 3 buttons like "download and isntall", "download only" and "close" with a tickbox "do not notify me anymore") |
|
|
|
| I would like to be able to set different statuses for different groups (for example, to remain invisible for friends but be available to work collegues). This is not a very complicated feature but it would be a great improvement. Also, there are bugs when I change my avatar or status message. It won't change sometimes. |
|
| I would like to see more official icon themes. |
|
|
|
|
| Random frequent crashing |
|
|
|
| Would like to see: Skype like chat history Skype like chat window layout |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Winks + Customs icons (images) are soo ugly in pidgin that sometimes if you had a long chat with someone who use them alot you have to ask to stop using them! (even worse if that person had OK picture as a replacement for the word "ok" which he can't do anything for you) By the way the real size of the pictures not fit the size of text which sounds like probably GTK issues more then yours but just wanted to mention it here |
|
|
| Improved Jabber/XMPP support, for example the ability to turn off the notification for others when i close the window/chat. |
|
| capability of contacts image resizing |
| 1) A veces envío mensajes y estos vuelven sin haber podido ser entregados. Tengo que salir de Pdgin y volver a entrar para que funcione bien. Esto ocurre tanto en Windows como en Linux. 2) Cuando envío un link a otra persona que posee MSN, a veces esa persona no puede abrir bien el link. Al parecer esto ocurre en el caso que el link tenga algún caracter raro como ocurre en algún link de Wikipedia. (You use english for the survey, I use spanish for this... Sorry :D ) |
|
|
| libnotify with more detailed information (instead of: 'you received a message' something like: 'you received this message: %s' %s being the message i received |
| Contacts' pictures are too small in the chat window. Sometimes you want to get a closer look to who you are chatting to, and the current picture size makes it difficult. I think file transfer speed when behind NAT is slower in Pidgin than in the original "Live Messenger" client. Transferring pictures with 500 Kb seems to take several minutes, instead of 1 or 2 minutes when using the native client. |
|
| Sometimes on Windows Vista, Pidgin crashes with no reason. This doesn't happen on Linux. It hasn't happened since a lot of time, so maybe you've already fixed it. |
|
|
| "Error with the notification server" bugs me a litle bit. Would also like better compatibility with MSN protocol. |
| Better "new mail" window. Some kind of handling of lost messages during temporary disconnection. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Sometimes the installer hangs while installing GTK runtime. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Wrong encoding for incoming messages from "QIP" users (icq protocol) writing with diacritic marks in czech/slovak (encoding central european, both iso 8859-2 and win 1250). |
| I don't know if others have this, but whenever Pidgin connects to MSN (I use both AIM and MSN protocols on it), I get a pop up box, saying "Cannot add user, error 241" - why does that happen? It has only been happening since Pidgin 2.5.2. And some times Pidgin tells me the message may have not been delivered, even though it has been, this can become quite annoying during a conversation, as it floods the window, and somewhat confuses me. |
| -ICQ away messages/encoding does not always work that good when chatting with users that do not use the official ICQ client. -Better Jabber support / More Jabber features |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Pidgin crashes, typically after coming out of idling or switching profiles in Windows. Sometimes it happens when I scroll over my buddy list too. (unsure if this still happens in 2.5.3 as I've just installed it) |
| Better NetworkManager support. Check packagekit how they verify the internet connection. |
|
|
| Many updates are minor with no special features that, to me, need fixing enough to download the absolute latest version. Yet every time I launch pidgin it nags me to upgrade. Either give me a way to turn off the nag, turn it off for a period of time, or update the client automatically. |
|
|
| Pidgin tends to hang up without reason on my computer from time to time and requires to be shutdown by the task manager and started up once again, but that's really not that annoying. |
|
|
|
|
| - I liked it better when the input thingie box place was resizable. - My girlfriend's messenger is always on on the same computer as well, and so I noticed my picture doesn't show up there, and my status is different from what piding says it is.. |
|
|
| When you log in with different status it still logs you in with the status you exited (e.g. if you were invisible and went offline, next time you log in as Available you will still be invisible) |
|
|
|
|
| in version 2.5.3 I'm still having some problems with the yahoo! buddy icon (avatar) getting through, but I'm not sure wheter it's a Pidgin issue or a Yahoo! Messenger one (small sized images work, so I'm guessing it's the latter). Not a problem, but I'd like to see a 'Send a file' Action added to Buddy Pounce. |
|
|
|
| The Music Tracker plugin can crash with some music in iTunes |
|
|
| I can't use pidgin when i'm at university :'(... it crashs |
|
| Stability when upgrading. Avoid the need of deletion of previous config. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Offline messages in Russian that are sent by QIP users are displayed like this: ???? ?????? ???????? ? ???? ? ?? ??????, ???? ?? ?????? (There was an error receiving this message. Either you and XXXXXXXXX have different encodings selected, or XXXXXXXXX has a buggy client.) I know that maybe it's QIP developers' fault, but it's REALLY annoying... |
|
|
|
|
| concerning sametime support: file transfer and sending screenshots does not work with the latest sametime servers/sametime 7.5/8.0 |
| I would like the ability to show "Pidgin" in the taskbar rather than the current conversation tab. |
|
|
|
| a better way to handle memory usage, specially from plugins. maybe have them handled by a fork process, so it could be easily traced back |
|
| Better file transfer support, especially for MSN/ICQ. Better handling (resources) of non generic emoticons (it really slows down my EEEpc with xp on it). |
|
|
|
|
|
| I am a german user of pidgin. I like pidgin really much, it is a good instant messenger. A few things are disapointing. For example the layout is kind of old-style? Maybe someone could give pidgin new feathers ;) The is the buddy-list, if you have a lot of friends a little bit orderless. It would be also good if you could see which protocol your buddy uses. Currently you have to wait until the tag appears. Another disappointing point is the file-transfer...it does not work in icq completly or in msn either =/ this is also a good point if someone could fix this for 100%. The rest are only small things and not important here. |
|
| default font selection for CJK systems are not good under Windows |
| Command line options or hotkey to sign on and off. I would like to program a key on my keyboard to automaticly sign on and off. I use Pidgin on different computers and sign off when I leave and are going to use it on another computer. |
|
|
| A search method for the conversation logs. |
|
| custom smiley behaviour (like #4268), msn chat interface(own nickname visualization), notification popup in win32 |
|
|
|
|
| - There's no option to save the condition of the conversation window. I'd like to see the same chats opened when I ran client. - I'd like to customize not only fonts of the incoming / outgoing messages but backgrounds also - I'd like to see not THE LAST chat but N number of the last messages - XStatus in OSCAR - the user's image in the Jabber conversations |
|
| Pidgin doesnt save my status on the ICQ protocoll |
| Personalized emoticons and saving of other people's emoticons as own in msn protocol... |
|
|
| If I get a new message the icon in the panel blinks and if I click I get to the chat window. If I have no new message this click instead brings the buddy ist to the front. I think one action should always do similar things. |
|
|
|
|
|
| I would like configurable Login / Logout Support when I log in from another location, or the option to log out if I am idle for a certain period of time, This would be useful for when I login to work before I leave for work, and don't sign in for part of the day and I receive all of these messages at home and don't see then until I get home. |
|
|
| sometimes when i'm disconnected from aim or google talk (lost internet connected for example), it does not automatically reconnect. Also, if I don't open the buddy window, there's no way for me to know that reconnect failed. there should be a different tray icon or an error popup. i think i'm available but i'm not. |
|
| Pidgin doesn't wrap long URLs in tooltips, so when you mouse over a long URL in a chat a very long tooltip shows up, sometimes longer than the screen. I've even seen extremely long URLs crash Pidgin entirely. Long URLs should be wrapped, and if long enough, truncated in tooltips. |
| Tighter integration with GTK+ - e.g. native tab re-ordering. RGBA support for Murrine SVN. |
|
|
|
| windows builds prone to crash |
| Update the current "new mail" option to work every once in a while with gmail. It currently only gets new mail at the program launch. |
|
|
| Modifying your user profile in an AIM account is very frustrating. Formatting it correctly so it can be viewed right in other clients is near impossible. The text cannot be moved and manipulated by the space bar and delete to move it to the correct location. |
| It's annoying to see "Google Talk" appear as something different from Jabber/XMPP (although understandable, it's not fair to take credit away from Jabber/XMPP world). Also, "Jabber/XMPP" would be a clearer label for "XMPP" account types, for newbies. Most people who use Jabber, don't know what XMPP is. |
|
| MSN spim to the point that that account is unusable (will try with official client to see if it's pidgin specific) Random disconnects, especially from Google Talk, and every once in a while from one of my AIM accounts but not the other. Sometimes Firefox and Skype can discover proxy settings that Pidgin can't, even when "Use environmental settings" is checked. |
| cant resize the lower chat area in AIM |
|
| XMPP Service Discovery XMPP send message to a specific resource |
| I don't like how you have to make multiple accounts to connect to different IRC networks/servers. I think there should be one IRC account and in the account settings there can be a list of multiple networks you have connected to with sub-settings like the ones currently in each individual IRC account. It's just annoying how I click on my 'accounts' drop-down menu and see a huge list of all the networks I'm connected to. It would be easier if all of those were organized into one account. |
| Every once and a while pidgin gets slow/stops and then crashes, possible because its on an external harddrive. The memory usage of it does not decrease, when an im window is opened and closed the memory goes up and stays up. Currently its at 60,000K. Memory is the biggest concern over all, since most people dont have massive amounts of ram, (i only have 512 and its shared with video) |
|
|
| The "flash the window when there is a new message" feature isn't always easy to configure on new installations. Sound notifications shouldn't be the main focus. Popup notifications are also a possibly bad idea. (One of the problems with the KDE kicker menu bar is that it doesn't dynamically scroll to new windows that are requesting attention, but this is a bug for them. I should go submit the patches, eh?). |
|
| I'l like to be able to change default font size. I'd like better diagnostics when someone is shown as not on the server list (what does that mean). I'd like see somemoething more like the Yahoo behavior on adding buddies and receviing a request froma buddy to be added. |
|
| Size of Preferences dialog is too big for my netbook. I cannot operate Pidgin normaly. |
| I read that this is a current "feature" but when I change statuses, It carries the previous status message. I find this quite annoying as status messages are already available from the list, and I don't like having to delete the previous message every single time I want to change my status. I know this was designed to aid people in keeping the same message across multiple statuses, but does that not defeat the purpose of a status message, if it is the same regardless of the status? I, and I assume many others find this "feature" very frustrating, and would like to see it returned to its former functionality. |
|
|
| I am not sure how Pidgin compares with Psi. I've started using Psi for a few Jabber/xmpp related things such as identispy. Might be able to do it in Pidgin... hmmm |
|
|
|
|
| Suport animated emotes |
| Not at the moment. MSN features on the official client keep on piling, but not feeling like I'm really missing anything. |
| Often have connection issues with MSN (timeouts upon sending messages). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| in pidgin 2.5.3 on windows vista when i quit,pidgin freeze. |
| msn personal messages visible in buddy list when not using buddy details, i.e. small icons. (not certain if this is done in latest versions) |
|
| Pidgin crashes almost every time I close it. |
|
| MSN file transfer speed! |
| Crashes are extremely annoying when the other party uses gif heavy messages. The current version of Pidgin automatically connects to the MSN server even though offline mode is selected, and it is a disconcerting behaviour to see. Could you guys please include options to alter login behaviours for next release? |
|
|
|
|
| MSN "state names" ? |
| I really want to see video chat support in Pidgin (MSN)! |
| A cleaner chat window, similar to that of empathy. |
|
| None. |
|
|
| More support for MSN including personal messages. I have to use the msn-pecan WLM protocol to do this now. It would be nice if you guys included the msn-pecan package in your MSN protocol. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Pidgin sometimes crashes when I use more than one protocol at the same time. |
|
|
| I hate the chat box size, I want it to stay big all the time. |
|
|
|
| Modify the look and feel, integrate OTR, and make the fingerprinting system work. Why not add an in-place updating system? |
|
|
| linking to the Hotmail webmail page requires login which does not work on the first screen. |
| Meh nothing I can think of right now. |
| Sharing files via ICQ or Jabber should be more stable. |
| 2.5.3 crashs when I try to exit the program |
| xmpp/jabber: unable to set multiline topic in chatroom, i have to use gajim (and gedit/notepad/vim) |
|
| Having to manually adjust the Exchange rate when join an AIM room is rather annoying, especially when you're invited to a room and it doesn't even offer the option. |
| personal message should be managed separetaly from status (online, busy etc.) |
| file transfer timeout. in msn there is no timeout in pidgin there is. it is annoying since my work buddies are not near there desk all the time. i know i can email them but for immediate action files we prefer to im them. when i drag an image to a chat 100% of the time its file transfer and not buddy image.i think that most users would agree. the dialog asking if its transfer or buddy image is annoying. |
|
|
|
|
| Frequent disconnection problems on MSN protocol. I know MSN protocol sucks, but since it's supported it would be good to make it more stable. |
| voice chat, voice chat, voice chat |
|
|
| add budy should have more details for yahoo (my complete name, invitation message) that certificate warning (which appears for gtalk) should be improved |
| - Stability. - To retain status messages when sometimes fails. |
| tends to freeze with OTR for a bit...putting a computer to sleep and waking on another network screws with the privacy settings every now and then |
|
|
|
|
| No |
|
| user chat windows opening that have large history of chat are slow to appear, at least with the history plugin turned on. |
| Lack of response to submitted bugs... but that's understandable so not a major problem. |
|
| Huge memory leaks on windows. I've left it overnight to find it taking over 200MB of RAM. |
|
|
| I will contact through the IRC channel when i have something to say about it |
|
|
| n/a |
|
|
|
| ... |
|
| An in-client upgrade process? (instead manually download & install) |
| file transfer is usually wonky |
|
| Better error feedback when a connection does not occur. For instance, when my company's Jabber server's SSL certificate expires, I have no option to connect anyway. I have to use my company's craptastic Jabber client until the SSL certificate is renewed and valid. |
| sometimes, my client gets stuck in this mode of trying to move tabs, and no matter what I click, it's still re-arranging tabs. Also, I would like to make distinctions between buddy lists for different accounts. Right now I have one long list and I can't distingish witch groups belong to what account. |
|
|
| File transfer - never works. |
|
|
|
|
|
| QQ insists on keeping all buddies in its own "QQ" group. As of Pidgin 2.5.3, my own QQ account is showing up in my QQ buddy list, and if i delete myself it just comes back. In the plugins menu, an Install button that accepts plugin tarballs/.zip/whatever would be nice, as well as an Uninstall button, I have way too many plugins i'll never use. A keyboard shortcut to paste as plain text, i'm tired of my font getting messed up because of normal pasting. Or perhaps pasting as plain text should be default, with an option to paste and keep formatting. |
|
|
|
| - support for ICQ message formatting ( change text color, font size etc...) - support for chat on studivz.net and schuelervz.net (ticket already exists) - support for chat on lokalisten.de ( I don't know if this is actually possible...) |
| Send messages to groups of people missing, set invisible to a group of people |
|
|
|
| Now Pidgin don`t connect me to Gadu-Gadu:( It was for about 2 months and I had to use only Jabber, because on Linux dont exist any good applications based on GTK. Only Pidgin. |
|
| encryption.should.be.on.by.default.for.bob's.sake. |
|
|
|
| by default, the client makes a sound when I send a message. I already know I sent a message because I just sent it. I don't need a notification when I send a message, and I believe others agree that is should be off by default. |
|
|
| Direct file transfers in MSN; file transfers over the servers are damn slow... As I'm stuck with a lot of contacts using MSN, this would be a rather nice thing to have. |
|
| I'm seeing weird differences in time stamps between computers/different accounts. This is before 2.5.3. I"m here to upgrade to 2.5.3. |
| P2P file transfers on the MSN network |
|
|
|
|
| Yeah, I cant really find easily the email adress from the main interface. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Fixed file transfers for MSN. The current implementaiotn is to slow to be useful. http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/247 |
|
| nop |
| File transfer is sometimes problematic |
|
|
| PLEASE make a better upgrade process. Firefox has a good one. I hate downloading things manually. |
| 2.5.3 does not close properly. If I select "Quit" by right-clicking on the task bar icon, the buddy list pops up, turns white, and freezes. |
|
| Fix this freakin blinkin when loggin in to Gadu-Gadu with status as Invisible. There is freakin patch god damn it! |

| I've had difficulty understanding the differences between a 'Chat' and a 'Conference', if there are any! I'd also like to see more development of plugins and options for 'Chat'/'Conference' facilities, particular creating and joining automatically. |
| The new version don't works fine on Vista... everytime i close it glitches |
|
|
| There is a bug, where if I have a buddy set to "show when offline", but the general option "show offline buddies" is off, my offline buddy will not be shown when they are offline after I first login to my account. There is a workaround for the bug, where I have to enable "show offline buddies" and then redisable it, and then my offline buddy will be shown. But I have to execute this workaround after everytime I login to my msn account. |
|

|
| FIX THE cairo_surface_set_device_offset MEMORY LEAK AND CRASH!! |
|
|
| a pidgin deb repository, so updates get install automatically. |
|
| Sending files crashes the client on both Windows XP pro and home, both 32bit and Ubuntu 8.10 32 bit, but files can be sent after client is restarted. |
|
|
|
|
| The status dropdown in the buddy list is needlessly large and obtrusive. Also, most of the time when I switch my status to "Available", I don't want to enter any custom message. One thing that I found very useful while using iChat during my Mac stint was the message that pops up when you wake your computer/display up after being away. It basically says "Welcome back! Would you like to set your status back to Available?". It's probably saved me countless days with my status set to "In the shower" or "Asleep". |
|
|
|
| Status selection before logging in, for example changing to invisible mode. Proper support for ICQ away messages |
|
|
| This is pretty random, but Pidgin tends to crash every now and then when receiveing a new message after long idle times. Never bothered enough to check for crashlogs, but I guess I'll try to report this properly later on. (This happens on Windows, using the latest official client, mostly on MSN, and for a loooong time.) |
|
| More unification of config dialogs (preferences/privacy/plugins/accounts are all separate dialogs with different layouts). |
| - Thinner borders in the chat window - when disabling contact details in contact list, show the status on the right of the buddy name |
|
|
| Stability in LINUX...Seems to either freeze or cash it and other programs (sometimes even GNOME) to freeze. |
|
|
| When I rename a group, I often get about 70 popups saying something about the "server-side" list. Also, when you go to select a display picture. Myspace contacts get split into two different groups for no apparent reason even after I have deleted the .pidgin folder. Why?!!?! |
|
| nope |
| An adjustable text input box would be nice, but is not required. |
|
|
|
|
| occasional crashes in windows interface |
|
| - clean up the preferences window - when receiving an authorization-request, give the user a chance to view buddy-information |
|
|
|
| Unlock the splitter between the Chat Window Conversation and Input text fields. |
|
| poor performance/responsive on heavy load (IO operations) system |
|
|
|
|
| The display pictures are so small, that's not normal! And they cannot be made larger! |
| MSN crash. |
| A two pane plugin-preferences dialog would be nice. You select the plugin on the left pane and the preference are displayed in the right pane. |
|
| I think its a GTK bug, but on Windows, there's no quick way to search through the contact list. On Fedora I can type "M... i..k..." and only Mik(e) comes up. On Windows, it kinda gets stuck on the M. |
|
| Minimize button. Minimizing with close button is not intuitive for me. |
|
|
| File transfer UI overhaul. When a user sends a file, an alert box interrupts everything. Make it more streamlined and less intrusive. |
|
|
|
| more costumization. I switched from Miranda over crash problems and think Pigdin lacks lots of the things I use the most: hot key actions. |
| Nope. |
|
|
| If I do take the time to write a bug report, I don't want to register an account, which I'd forget about anyway. |
|
|
|
|
|
| On MSN, I always seem to have a buddy list synchronization issue every time I log in. Pidgin asks me if I want to add users that have been on my buddy list in the past and I reply "yes". But when I log in the next time.. it asks me the same question with the same users. I have not deleted these users in the past but I seem to be getting the same issue. |
|
|
|
| Sometimes my buddylist takes a crap. Though this is increasingly rare. The GStreamer problem. |

| Every time I log in to AIM it shows a duplicated group of buddies called "Orphans", even though those buddies are already in a group. |
|
|
| File transfer speeds in MSN |
|
| Pidgin doesn't distinguishes a bad MSM password from unable to connect to server. (visual feedback to user) |
|
| Easier account "activation"/password re-entry when a password is mistyped. Current method for doing this is onerous at best. |
|
| File transfer should be integrated into the chat window. And, most important, when somebody sends you a bunch of files, you should have the option to accept all of them with only one click (not to save every single file!). |
| Improved file transfer support for MSN messenger Proper HTTP only protocol support for MSN messenger (currently doesn't work) |
|
|
| An option to use Emacs-like keys for editing in the input box (C-e for going to the end of the line, etc). |
| File transfer bugs Buddies marked as "Show even when Offline" don't always show |
| Invisible status option for Google Talk |
| Some options are hard to find because you'll have to remember if they're an option of pidgin itself or of some plugin. |
|
|
| The biggest annoyance I've been living with lately is ungodly start times: 30 seconds of nearly 100% processing to finish starting Pidgin. Worse: these just appeared out of the blue with no update from myself (to Pidgin or plugins). I run 9 accounts, and quite a few plugins, and I'll admit to not having troubleshooted the plugins myself. If, as I noted above, more plugins were inherent in Pidgin, it would be easier for me to troubleshoot this issue to one of them (unless it's Pidgin itself, in which case I must be the only one and thus the issue probably won't be fixed). Otherwise, the issue could be anything: connection issues (IRC SSL?), loading history, or (likely) a corrupt configuration file somewhere. Who knows? It'd be nice if some of the common GTK issues were configurable through Pidgin. So if a user can only type one character in his/her search-box, they are prompted as to whether or not they wish to alter the GTK setting. Also: the "backspace beep" issue could perhaps be addressed in Preferences/Sound. Also, another issue for which I've received anti-windows guff in the IRC channel: hiding the taskbar entry. I run Motherboard Monitor 5 which has a small "dashboard" which I like to keep in the lower right hand corner of my screen at all times. This worked overtop Trillian with no problems, but with Pidgin, docking the window forces my MBM5 dashboard to move. Not docking the window forces a taskbar entry. When I asked for assistance with this issue, I was told "shouldn't your window manager do that?" No, sadly, it doesn't. I was also told that Trillian uses a "custom window type" improperly in order to acoomplish what I prefer. However it does so, I would really like to be able to obtain the "docked" appearance of the buddy list (and the lack of a taskbar item) without forcing windows on top of it / in the same space to move. |

|
| File transfers. I know your stance on this subject, but IM remains the simplest way of sending or receiving a random small file, especially with non-technical users. |
|
| Please fix the auto-away option - it's been broken since at least version 2.1 or 2.2. For example, when status is set to 'Invisible', it changes to 'Away' after been idle for a while (this shouldn't happen when offline) - and then, when initiating a conversation with someone, it changes back to the original offline status ('Invisible' in this case)! Peer-to-peer MSN file transfers would also be nice, as that function is almost unusable in its current state. |

| More options in the preferences menu. Better stability on windows. |
|
|
| Theming, the program tends to look out of place regarding icons etc. |
| Better hotmail integration. |
| Better help files/documentation. Easer Spell checker install |
| One thing that i dont like in pidgin is when you have two different accounts and contact icons from two different people, when they access on a single computer the contact icon doesnt change for each one of them. |

| I love the MusicTracker plugin (I have 0.4.1), except I think that when a song with an odd symbol comes on, such as Björk, Pidgin crashes. In addition, I have to reload all of my accounts into Pidgin; it opens with "Welcome to Pidgin" or whatever, as if I'm starting the program for the first time. |
|
|
| Clicking links stalls the program often. Downloading is awkward, and the window often opens in a totally unusable state. The gui for it is horrible and each time I end up encountering it makes me look for other programs...which oddly is what brought me by here tonight. |
|
| I'm not a huge fan of the UI on vista, but I'll survive. |
| While chatting in XMPP rooms, new messages are not notified in the statusbar icon as normal peer to peer chats. It's then difficult to track updates in those conversations. |
|
| I miss a better control of XMPP buddy icon, if the size is correct, if it has been set succesfully. When pidgin login to the XMPP account, it should check if the buddy icon set in XMPP is the same as set in the pidgin client. |
|
| UI could use eye-candy. |

| Too many dependencies, make it lighter! |

| A popout sidebar style buddy list would be very nice. |
| MSN protocol seems buggy, IRC isn't very customizable |
|
| have an option to divide buddy lists from different accounts |
| Connection errors: msn- read & write errors; google talk |
| Stability is a major issue and has been for several versions on Windows. |
| NO GOD DAMN VIDEO, it's 2008, the fucking 21st century, get this fucking video going. |
|
| - The dialog for receiving files could be improved in usability. The popup window is easy to miss when there are many windows opened. - Starting a msn chat is somewhat hidden. - The status messages input is a little confuse. - The msn emoticons received are saved as static pngs even though animated emoticons are supported. |
| nothing. |
|
|
|
| I would prefer to see a list of my saved away messages rather than a list of my most recently used away status in the buddy list status setting drop-down menu. I think there is low temporal locality and high spatial locality for statuses. i.e. just because i went to Dayv's haus yesterday, doesn't make me any more likely to want that as a status today. However, if i have a saved message "at work," chances are i am going to want to use it again relatively soon. Perhaps you can already do this and i am just retarded. |
| Better now playing support for MSN |
|
| I don't know of anyplace to download the portable versian of pidgin, so i have to go through the process of making it portable every time there is a new versian. It would be nice if i could download the entire portable versian, gtk and all (maybe i could and i just dont know about it, though). |

|
| Had issues communicating with QQ users. Though I would be able to see the QQ user's messages, they would not see mine. This was version 2.5.1 I believe. Y! -- When in a chat room, it would randomly disconnect. When I am in the chatroom, if someone invites another person, I get the invite too. Clicking acceptance of it occasionally kicks me out of chat. Would not be able to re-join that particular chatroom unless I restart pidgin, or another chatroom is made. |
|
|
|
|
| It seems like I get crashes most often when someone connects directly via AIM and pastes pictures into the chat window. Resizing the chat window will usually make it happen right away, but if it doesn't, it's usually just a few minutes away. |
|
| Newly updated pidgin 2.5.3. crashes when I quit. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Stop with the protocol isolation theory! Allow power users and "casual users" alike to use Pidgin the way they want. Allow the protocol icon to be used instead of the generic green bubble, allow strict options where buddy groups are tied to accounts so we know what our protocols actually have. |
|
|
|
| I don`t know why, but pidgin crasches witch gadu-gadu plugin on windows. It has been happening on XP, and continues with vista... |
| Sometimes weird disconnects and the occasional crash, but nothing big that I can think of off-hand. |
|
|
|
|
| a music status player for WINDOWS |
| Chat timestamps on same line as name (not have a hole line devoted to timestamps. |
| Have not noticed any yet. |
|
|
|
| Currently listening song in status messages. |
| I like an option that I saw in Kopete: Change the color of the letters in each message, I don't know if its available in Pidgin but if it is, it is more difficult to find than in Kopete. It'ss a tiny thing but I like it and it impress the windows users... |
|
|
| As far as Ubuntu Linux goes, I would love to be able to use a different skin other than the system global skin. Maybe there is a work around for this that I don't know about, but if there isn't then yeah, I would love to see this in the future. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| I dislike the tab close buttons. I think native buttons should be used (or maybe just a better substitute, such as the buttons from the Ubuntu Human theme). |
|
|
|
|
| I still miss protocol icons. Green "balls" suck hard. |
|
|
|
|
| Sometimes when I connect to all my accounts at the same time pidgin crashes, but i haven't tried this with the latest version. |
| no |
| None |
| yahoo account picture share feature does not send any protocol into pidgin perhaps implement some way to auto send a message back to the yahoo user or simply treat picture share like a file transfer |
|
|
|
|
| Sometimes when I have an app thats holding the sound card, I'll do lots of chatting. For some reason after I quit this app, pidgins CPU usage goes way up to 100% and I have to kill it. |
| speed and memory usage |
|
| Please allow resizing of the file transfer window WHILE file transfer details are being shown! |
|
|
|
|
| Bring back the protocol icon status display as opposed to the current "green dot" crap. Or at the least allow those icons to be 'skinnable' (based on protocol of course). |
| I'd like that Pidgin got the contact information of my peers when I connect to my XMPP network so their nick was properly displayed always. |
| pidgin crash on receipt of certain smileys MSN (I suppose). not practical to have a discussion with several people ( Invite should be person by person). |
| There might be some...but I honestly can't think of any that have bugged me recently. |
|
|
|
|
| Scrolling-crashes. By far. They either happen with the mouse wheel or page up/down keys. Also the away message box on the bottom of the buddy list is really cumbersome. I stop typing for a second and it saves the away message as-is. Please make a posting button right next to it. Don't let it auto-save. Chatrooms (via AIM) could be better. It takes me 3-4 tries to make a chatroom. And oh! Every time I paste a link, my text resets to the OEM standard.. Overhaul the font system-with it's own robust font menu with all the bells and whistles (size, style, etc..) so it *stays* every time I paste something. Or at least make a shortcut to 'Paste as plain text'. |
| I want to use Pidgin in Linux and Windows in the same computer, I need using same history and friends list. So, I hope Pidgin may config data folders path. |
|
|
| AIM file transfers can be hit and miss |
|
| File transfer with Google Talk. Better implementation of MSN custom smiles, they are buggy. |
|
|
|
| minor xmpp features (mabye have a check at gajim) |
|
| Better handling of jabber chat rooms |
|
| Sending a file blocks that file in the local system so I cannot delete or move it unless I close Pidgin in Windows. I would like that not happening specially when I'm sending newly generated Latex files :) |
|
| interface improvement on "merged" contacts (facility to switch from one to another, better view that a contact is a meta one... |
|
| latest version won't shutdown... |
|
|
|
|
| current version crashes when attempting to quit the program |
|
|
|
|
| Pidgin seems to crash in Windows after receiving a message -- crashes are otherwise unpredictable. |
| Better support of the MSN protocol in general. I know it's ugly and proprietary, but still... there are people (including me) who have to use it. Oh and btw, I havent checked out the monotone repository, so I dont know if there are improvements. |
|
| file transfers don't work with other sametime clients when using pidgin... perhaps it could be an internal firewall issue, but not 100% sure... |
|
| Microsoft Office Messenger ( MS-SIP ) protocol support. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Sometimes the encoding is wrong when chating with peopleusing different clients (Miranda etc) |
|
|
|
|
| Resizable text imput area |
| file sending feture in some cases sucks...i cant find out what is the problem, but sometimes it just doesnt work...it is very anoing to go to icq, msn or skype just because i cant send files over icq....because it supports the feature, but it doesnt work properly |
| It seems that chat room persistance is broken in my 2.5.0 client. Sometimes I still see myself in the room but new users don't get displayed. Only fix is to remove persistancy, leave, join, restore persistancy. |
|
|
|
| I would like to see some support for ONOTICE. Unfortunately I haven't been able to test the tracker patches yet. |
|
| there has been only _one_ annoyance in the whole age of pidgin. it was input box limited to one row. fixed with plugin and after it was a setting for that. Support forums are -- Useful, maybe must-have for new users for not getting annoyances and quiting using the program.. But not for me. I am experienced user. |
|
|
| better FAQ (better accessable), better developer-step-in |
|
|
|
| format: allow to rich format. ie. not all the message should be in bold or italic. crashes: in win: the notification icon, sometimes dissappear in Linux. Ok. |
|
|
|
|
| - menus are to wide for Windows client, maybe it looks ok on Linux based systems but on Windows it looks horrible - buttons are too big - the status changer thingy in the buddy list should have an option to hide it |
|
|
|
| An easier way to change personal message/status message. |
| Maybe a feature that enables creating accounts in some IM systems within pidgin. |
| no |
| need more smileys |
|

|
| Message window should NOT be resized when a new chat is opened! |

|
|
|
| The program gone off in multi-chats on MSN at (aparently) random. |
|
| From tkabber I'm used to have subgroups in the roster. E.g. group names Linux::Debian and Linux::Ubuntu would create group Linux with subgroups Debian and Ubuntu. |
|
|
| I'd like to have an easier way to list offline buddies. Something like grouping my contacts in online and offline ones, instead of group names. So I could expand this offline group easily, instead of needing to go through submenus to do that. |
|
|
|
|
| A bit late now, but version 2.5.1 (I think) would not run on any of my computers. It would crash when MSN tried to connect. |
|
|
|
| Stability problems. It crashes after some animated icons are drawn. I hate them, but people keeps sending them... |
|
| sometimes contacts overlap when expanding group, noticed on windows |
|
| better support for data sending on icq doesn`t work to orginal icq client |
|
| Plugins should be isolated (Plugins should not be able to crash Pidgin) |
|
|
| MSN file transfers are very slow |
|
| Yes, there are some issues with Jabber's file transfers, you can send a file but the transfer don't go forward, it only happens with Pidgin. Anyway Pidgin can receive filetransfers from another client like Gajim without problems. |
|
|
|
|
| Direct p2p File Transfers in all protocolls Better XMPP support (priority setting) Better ICQ Support (away/status messages) |
| When quitting the application while installed on my usb key makes it hang a while. Cross-platform support with the same .purple folder (doesn't work that well) |
| different messaging themes, e.g. some which display avatars next to messages or color the background differently; proper handling of setting the ICQ profile information, not only one single text box... |
| Better integration with fast-user-switch applet, better handling of custom statuses (aka MSN personal message), animated emoticons support, faster access to file transfer (a dedicated button on the interface?), history visualization by date (not only by selecting a contact), avatar history |
| 1) the chat box seems to resize itself when smiley images are inserted (least it does over here), I find that annoying 2) I also find it VERY annoying that pidgin related windows minimise or unminimise when one's status is changed, ie available -> invisible -> available |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| I don't use tabs for my chats as I want to see my taskbar icon flash per IM, and not to confuse one user for another and send the wrong message to the wrong person--and be able to see multiple chats simultaneously on one of my extra monitors. But a major annoyance is that Pidgin opens all initial IM windows right on top of eachother instead of cascading, to the side, or anywhere else. |
|
|
|
|
| Want to have a quick access to "Show/Hide offline users" |
|
| loosing connection to msn frequently and crashing buddy scycronisation problems MAJOR nuecance the program often doesnt transmit or recive messages where it first workt fine it now regularly loses messages or doesnt send messages |
|
|
|
|
| File-transfers via ICQ still need hours to start (if they start at all) |
|
|
|
| The version that comes with Ubuntu Hardy Heron crashes all the time when in MSN conference chats. |
|
| Sometimes I don't want to say Yes, or a No to a friendship request. Could you have a way of not displaying them further if I press 'Close' on a friendship request, and show them in a separate dialog, so that I can approve them when I want, instead of me having to close it at every login? When moving buddies across group, 'Do you want to merge these to a single contact' doesn't come.. Only on renaming does that happen. Would be a good feature. To be able to run this merge pass on all existing contacts through a command in the menu would be great as well, in case they are already split up. |
|
|
| I would love to see a web upgrade application ( I don't know if a plugin exists for this) |
|
|
|
| Looking forward for better offline messaging support in MSN protocol, and a fix for changing the nickname and personal message in this protocol, as this still doesnt work right every time. |
|
|
|
| When pidgin faill to send a menssage in MSN protocol |
| Lately Offline buddies are not disappearing from list after they go offline. Default is set to not display offline buddies. |
|
|
| Adding new Jabber-buddy (or accepting new friend) creates two instances of the buddy in the buddy list. And Pidgin is unable to remove just one of those. |
|
|
| I need Status Message support for ICQ, it's so annoying that nobody can read my messages. |
| It would be nice to have the interface change when selected on the theme selector rather than having to quit and restart the program each time. |
|
| Occasionally my Windows Live account will not sign in, though my Hotmail works just fine. |
| * an option for no taskbar entry when the contact window is open on Windows (the extended Window preferences do not work). |
|
|
| Display pictures should be more easily accessible -- yours as well as the person you are chatting with could be displayed in the chat window. It'd be nice if there was an option to group adjacent messages from the same user together (i.e. to not have [so and so] says: before every post, just put them each on a new line). If you have more than one address for the same client (e.g. 2 AIM accounts) it would be ideal to have a way to easily differentiate between them (e.g. changing the colour of the running man icon in the buddy list), too! The update process would be better if it was automated -- instead of a pop-up telling me I ~need to update pidgin with a link, how about a pop-up telling me pidgin has an available update, would you like to update now, remind you later or shut up about it? And then if you click now the whole process should sort itself out, including closing running instances of pidgin, downloading the actual update and installing it. I'm not sure how easy to integrate that would be, but it would be very useful and save a lot of time. Pop-ups with [so and so] has gone offline without having to install the Guifications plug-in (I think that's the name?) would be awesome too. Thanks guys! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The install process is still a bit clumsy for non-technical users. We use Pidgin in my organization, and the standard install is Pidgin + spell check + the list management options plugin. For our use case, it would be ideal if there was a cleaner way to select just that in the install process, and especially if basic list management (import/export buddy lists) was included in the standard plugins that come with Pidgin. The biggest inconvenience I encounter regularly with Pidgin is having to instruct users how to download and put a DLL in the correct directory just to import our standard list of users. Of course, if there was a good way to share buddy lists online that would be even better. |
| Just an FYI: I've never been able to perform file transfers regardless of which version of pidgin I've used. I've explored the FAQs, googled for answers etc but never gotten it to work. Gave up and use e-mail instead. |
| 2.5.1 used to crash all the time, this seems to have been resolved. |
|
|
|
| some crashes occur becouse of 3rd party plugins (facebookchat etc. but it's getting fixed)... it would be good if pidgin (main app) would survive a plugin crash |
| Yes,My messenger crashes sometimes suddenly. |
|
|
|
| when running under gnome, it wont take a socks proxy like you can when not running under gnome. a way to override the global proxy with your own would be nice. in the buddy list the names can be dimmed for idle and there are symbols for status. why not just color the names, less screen space. would be nice to be able to group / order by status without having to see the groups (but still hide the groups you want to hide) this is another one ichat does that i like. |
|
|
| sometimes the file transferring doesn't work |
| I can't find a button to send MSN nudges. Also MSN hand writing is interesting. |
| Well, I do have a question that I could not find on the FAQs section regarding sound. I have an ASUS eee PC that runs linux. Recently, I configured the system so it has a desktop option, rather than the easy mode and I wonder why I am unable to have sound for my buddy list. The instructions on your page were unclear to me, having not an incredible amount of knowledge with computers. I have provided my email if an answer is available. Thanks! ek127003@ohio.edu |
| MusicTracker causes crashes, but it's definitely my favorite plugin. I'd like to see a stable alternative to it. Somebody goofed on the ctrl+u command to underline text. My computer is set to dvorak layout, and the "u" for that command is mapped to the qwerty "u" key. I always forget, it's kind of annoying. |
|
| Upon changing my status to Available, Pidgin puts in "I'm not here right now" as the status text. This is very annoying to have to change every time. (I simply like a blank status most of the time, unless manually switching to just plain Away) Also, my chat windows keep appearing in the same locations. That is, different groups of chats appear with their windows directly over each other. I would much prefer each group to remember its window location independently. This would allow for a standard placement to be maintained, instead of having to drag windows around to see them all at once. |
|
|
|
| i can't add new emoticons directly from the conversation window (MSN protocol) |
| Greater stability for MSN, especially chat rooms. (And particularly long chat rooms) Faster and less memory usage when viewing/searching logs. Like 100MB of logs. Smaller/wider preferences window. |
|
| Resizable buddy text, to make the list more information dense |
|
|
|
| The preferences dialog is too tall for most of todays netbooks. I use an Eee PC with the screen resolution of 1024x600 pixels, and I cannot save the settings in Pidgin since the screen is too small for the "OK" button to be shown. Screenshot: http://ck3r.org/upload/index.php?file=81 Oh, and Pidgin uses about ~100 MB RAM after a few days of beeing online. Probably just another memory leak issue. |
|
|
|
|
| Not sure if this is possible/ makes sense, but If my wireless drops out, I'd like it to reconnect without causing other people's computers to go 'ding' every time. |
|
| font color and style always revert back to default in a chat window being able to customize timestamps: 12h or 24h time |
|
|
| The away message handling can be a little annoying and sometimes inconsistent. Going to available from away leaves the away message box up, so I have to delete the text and hit enter again. I do like the text box to enter away messages, but much of the time I find myself wondering if my away message is set - and checking my status myself. |
|
|
| When I set pidgin to startup as Invisible, if I leave it sitting for a while, some of my friends become unresponsive; I try to IM them but it says that there's an error. My assumption is that while I was invisible, they may have logged off but it appears that they're still online (so it gives an error). I have to restart pidgin to remedy this. There's also a bug in the Windows version. If I leave the client sitting for a while and I quit the program, pidgin locks up and I have to kill it. |
| ICQ custom status, ICQ and XMPP file transfer(sometimes stucks or report aborted by other user) |
| sometimes crashes when trying to send files |
| When the screen names are the same person and their combines, it's hard to figure out how to add more accounts or move them. |
| Some random crashes in 2.5.2 on both Ubuntu Linux 8.1 and Windows Vista SP1, but I can't reproduce them to submit any reports. |
|
|
| File transfers using Google Talk / XMPP accounts could really use some work. |
|
|
| I'd like an easier way to change away messages within different accounts |

| http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/4944 |
|
| It freezes sometimes, but when, nautilus freezes, too. (Ubuntu 8.10 with Gnome) |
|
|
| I can't send some URL in a conversation (for example http://helvete.servebeer.com/portal/) |
|
|
|
| I'm not a fan of GTK. Nothing really wrong with it but its silly that only pidgin relies on it on my system. I don't need the skins. But I guess for the sake of cross-platform compatibility you made a good choice. |
| the upgrade warning comes up each time, after you dismiss it once it should not come up, the ideal solution would be to have a button to click on the warning that will auto do the upgrade, so with 1 click it would remember the last settings you use and upgrade it for you |
| Filesharing (often malfunctioning even with Jabber) Main window (the toolbar is too wide) |
|
|
| When I merge two buddies it would be nice if the contactlist would show the picture of the second contact, if the first has none. Same with the status-messages. |
| having sound repsonse when it's minimized and someone sends text. the blinking is fine for alerting but a nice sound bit would be good too. |
|
|
| I'd like to see the IRC side of Pidgin closely scrutinized and much more expanded. Sometimes even though I have the IRC account enabled, I can't access its status window in order to join other channels or input simple commands such as /j or /nick. As of now, it isn't possible to connect to undernet because of an identd issue. Also, if I issue the command, "/j pidgin" the client should access the pidgin channel, without forcing me to retype the command as /j #pidgin. |
|
|
| I hate 2.5.3. Impossible to close. How do I revert to 2.5.2. |
|
|
| Flacky file transfers through MSN |
|
|
| Facebook icons |
|
|
| the new 2.5.3 version enters in an endless loop when try to quit the application |
|
| Since upgrading from 2.5.2 to 2.5.3, pidgin hangs on logout/closing. If I launch without logging into anything, it closes fine. But if connected, it hangs and eats up CPU. |
| Direct connect seems to be slow or not work at all with some people. I've noticed It seems more reliable if I restart pidgin before I do it. |
|
| Sometimes pidgin runned in a Windows environment locks up, eating 1 the hole power of one core of the CPU. I have no steps to reproduce this.. it just happens from time to time. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| I don't know if this is a Pidgin problem, an Ubuntu problem, or something in between, but in Ubuntu since at least 7.10 (currently 8.10), I have had the problem of the chat window flashing/indicating a new message when minimized even after I have read it. It only goes away if I start typing a response. Not a huge problem, but it is a tad annoying. I don't have that problem with the Windows client. |
|
| Crashes. Also, at the time of writing this, I can't get it to start on Windows. It starts, but then crashes on MSN I think. And MSN file transfers are very slow, but that may be for all pidgin users. |
|
| copy + pasted text from within a chat window pasts as formatted text rather than normal unformatted |
| Its inconvenient to toggle the display of online/offline buddies |
|
|
| Plain text should be the default for pasting into the "send" textbox. Pasting formatted text (from the web) changes color/font too often. |
| I can't remove buddy groups containing characters like German umlauts in their group name. |
| after a logoff, remove the contact groups of the list. For the next login which, is not full of empty groups in your list. |
| I want the new groups (Non-IM Contacts and Other Contacts) to be removable. I delete them, and when i connect again they always appair again. |
| Chat interface change where the pictures of the people are in the chat box as they chat. Ability to have logs written to custom directory. |
| Crashes too often. 2.5.3 on Vista crashes whenever I try to shut down Pidgin. |
| I just like pidgin the way it is, perhaps a better (more attractive) user interface would be welcomed. OH, and file transfer support is a must. Sometimes it doesn't work for some protocols. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Ability to have your own buddy icon displayed in the chat window (as far I know there is no option to disable/enable this). The ability for the MSN protocol to support direct connection file transfers. Perhaps an official plugin to allow music in your status, or perhaps have someone work towards improving compatibility for some of the existing ones (many don't work, and of the ones that do, most instantly cause pidgin to crash when loading a unicode character. |
|
|
| Connection stability. Hotkeys for sending new messages and the way contacts are "quick searched" should be more comprehensive instead of exact email/alias matches. |
|
| Disconnects was a big problem. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 2.5.3 Freeze on shutdown :( |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| I just finished reformatting my computer. I re-downloaded Pidgin and find that the buddy list looks different. The buddy names are spaced wider, the font seems larger and buddies avatars are displayed on the buddy list where the client icon was before. Is there anyway to fix these issues? |
|
| add much more smile icon is much better, no animation it's ok some templates of buddy icon like avatar, maybe... |
| Better Jabber support. |
| I want to download previous versions |
|
|
|
| Having the ability to select whether I want to leave the away message on indefinitely or whenever I send a message. |
| I cannot log on, on my wireless internet on campus.it just won't connect. |
|
|
| the system crashes when i receive Windows Live Messenger Winks, aleatorely. |
| A better music status plug in |
| Current version doesn't close properly |
| Since I primarily use this for AIM, I would like to see a button next to "Smile!" that would allow for a direct connection to the user. |
|
| AIM FILE TRANSFERS NEED TO BE FIXED!!!! |
|
|
|
| I miss the little picture in the top right hand corner to show the other person is chatting. I'm not so big on the "so and so is typing" thing that comes up in the conversation. |
|
|
| Pidgin will occasional crash/freeze-up on me for various reasons. |
|
|
|
| N/A |
|
|
|
|
| The newest version (2.5.3) will not shut down when I ask it to. It hangs until I try to close it again, at which point I get the Windows 'not responding' error. |
|
|
| not at this time |
| the avatar |
|
| fffffffffffffffffffff |
| Automatic vertical resizing of the contact list would be nice. Resizing it manually as contacts come and go is really tiring. |
| Tools menu should be cleaned up Right click menu should be cleaned up |
|
|
| Not a problem but a minor addition. I would like to see text replacement with the option to convert 2 spaces into a period and a space. Just like on my blackberry. |
|
|
| cofigurable sign in / sign off buddy notification |
| Pidgin crashes on quitting (v2.5.3) |
| on my win xp x64bit sometimes i cant close pidgin. (i becomes all white and i have to kill it with the task manager) |
|
|
| Some crashs and disconnect with GG network Maybe can you add form to send bugs? :) Like Firefox |
|
|
| The Settings Dialog becomes big when it contains long string. |
|
| better support for e.g. msn-smileys (not really important, but would make me happy :D ) |
| PLEASE give us the option of changing back to the old method of being alerted to buddies typing messages, this new text-based one sucks! Also, a mate of mine seems to have problems running Pidgin on Windows Vista, so perhaps it'd be an idea to do more development for that platform too. Other than that, nothing bothers me about Pidgin. |
| When setting an AIM buddy icon to a png with an alpha channel the image is not properly resided with a matte applied and ends up looking bad. Not that big of a problem, but I've had to manually convert my icon to a jpeg before I could use it. |
| No. |

| Too many disconnects in Gadu-Gadu, sometimes messages are just getting lost. Also in 3rd party plugin for XFire network Pidgin sometimes sends HTML in messages. (But I guess it's not your concern) |

| Well, it's really minor, but when I try to type perl source code, and send to a partner, across msn, all msn accounts disconnect. |
| 1. I have some problem in the newest Pidgin v2.5.3. When I quit Pidgin, it just freeze and nothing happen. I am using Windows XP SP2. 2. When I change my message status, other users can't see it. 3. When I change avatar, other users can't see it. (Sorry for my English :P) |

| I use yahoo messenger a lot and i really like some file transfer compatibility. |
|
| - I do not feel really invisible. in jabber, it doesn't work at all. - possibility of using commands like "fortune" in away-messages - changing icon-themes in buddy-list - protocoll-icons instead of status-icons, not additionally |

| Saner libnotify integration (I know it’s a plugin); 1. the ability to ignore certain contacts from notifying, 2. the ability to not shorten the popups with ellipsis, 3. the ability to show all the popups (currently, a newer popup from the same contact hides the previous one) |
|
|
|
| 1> Sametime Conference chats are not covered by the "enable logging" feature. 2> Pidgin does not support "Invisible" status of GTalk |

| If i have several accounts (live ICQ and Jabber) and create group in one account - pidgin creates empty groups on ALL accounts... Very few data aviable via contact info on ICQ. Numerous problems with file sending on XMPP |
|
| When I start typing by accident in the buddy list window, the little text box pops up and I can not close it or do anything else until it closes by itself several seconds later. It'd be good if this box (I don't even know what it does) could be closed by either clicking outside of it (hey cool, i just realized you can press escape to close it...but that took me a while to figure out.) |
| I'm having some pain with blist.xml and syncing the buddy list. This is especially complicated since i have at least 4 piding installed on physically different computers (home, brothers, uni, portable one on flash), and buddy list keeps popping up syncing windows. |

| I'd like to have some more tree-like support for buddy groups: I'd like to have a group that contained all 5 of my "work" groups so it doesn't take up half my buddy list all the time. Skype is the only other chat client I use, because some coworkers use it for IM. No big deal if you can't/won't support it ;) |
| The behaviour of the email alerts thing isn't great. I mean, if I have, say, three Gmail mails, then there will be three links, but all three of them will just take me to my inbox. When clicked, my web browser will be focused. I will then have to switch back to Pidgin just to close the email notification window. This whole process could be improved quite a lot. |
| current version (2.5.3.0) fails to exit properly and must be terminated with the task manager (winXP sp3). |
|
|
| Every time my Pc disconnects from the internet when Pidgin tries to reconnect it crashes. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Please improve the really bad ICQ Implementation. |
|
|
|
| Seriously... ICQ may not be used that much in Northern America, however it the most used protocol in Europe (even supported by various TV stations)... You should fix the (away-)notice issue ASAP! |
|
|
|
|
| New version is crashing atm, dunno why. Also when i connect to msn i get the same error, can't add user. |
|
|
| Better support for MSN personal messages. Like emesene. |

| On Vista Business, ICQ- protocol; The last 2 Versions: Refresh rate of buddys are strange Sometimes I write to a buddy which is "online" and he isn't online anymore. Pidgin says: "Can't send message: Not connected" (maybe this has something to do with my invisibility state?) The last version: Crash on closing pidgin. 100% CPU usage... |
| the "stun server" confuses me, i am behind a router, and it displays on the settings page my local network ip address (no matter if i give a valid stun server or not) |
|
| -Notification sometimes does not work, but this might be a KDE issue... |
|
|
| in windows version 2.5.3 the buddylist crash at exit |
|
| - An option for disabling smiley animations (for non-default themes especially) would be really useful. With 5-7 conversations, 2 pages each, with a dozen of animated smiley in each discussion, pidgin can eat up ~90% of cpu time on one core. That's too much. - It's complicated to quickly edit saved status messages. - Transferring files to/from people using yahoo messenger fails in some cases. No error message. - Ability to chat using a yahoo account with an msn account or vice versa. I had issues in such cases (connection apparently working, but the text didn't make it through). See here: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/07/04/msn_yahoo_im_interop/ . |

| 1. I found the procedure to show the protocols for a merged contact (RMB + Expand) not very intuitive. I only found that out when reading the FAQ. I think showing a little plus for expanding would be more user-friendly. But then that isn't really a problem anymore once you know it. 2. A better way to import chat logs from other clients would be useful. |

|
| When I sign in on AIM from a different computer and sign off the original Pidgin and come back, I get a welcome back, re-enable account message. Would it be possible to automatically re-connect me when I log out of the new AIM session? |
| -A little more control over the GUI. Option to hide the menubar in the chat windows would be great. (See gajim chat windows) -Markerline plugin is buggy since the new typing notification. -pidgin always tries to open recived files with firefox. |
|
|
| With msn I can receive animated custom smileys, and I can add animated custom smileys and send them, but I can't save my chat partners animated custom smileys from the chat window. If I choose to save the smileys, it only saves a still picture, not the animation. It would be good to support animation saving. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Encoding compatibility with (maybe) buggy icq-clients still not perfect. It's important for cyrillic users. |
| i don't use pidgin because of missing features like skype and msn video and voice chat. |
|
| Text-box resize in the textbox, MSN personal messages |
|
| * What is the aim of the "expand" thing? * I know it's not an easy thing, and not so important, but if pidgin could save smileys too into the log (i.e. when logging to html format), it would be really nice. |
|
|
| Sometimes takes a few minutes to close the program after quitting Pidgin |
|
| More info as to why Google Talk file transfers are failing. Now all I know is that it doesn't seem to be going through. I'd also like to see the Purple Plugin Pack easier to install. I miss having the Filters that I had a few versions ago and I don't even know why they're not installing. |

| No |
|
|
|
|
| not sure if this applies for 2.5.3 since i installed it 5 minutes ago but: - moving buddy from one goup to anther requires re-authorization - encoding/charsets screwes up when talking to esp. people with QIP (central european accented characters appear as russian) - cant connect to my aim account (proly some protocol changes) since ~ 2.4 - cant use new QQ accounts because longer QQ numbers require new QQ protocol. i guess this was proly fixed i 2.5.3 (i'll see in a minute) - trillian had this nice feature that it saw some invisible users. might be nice .. - direct file transfers support on some protocols - encryption has to be reinitialised after each pidgin restart. might be cool to have a usersetting for this to be done automatically - where appliable at least a link to a protocol signup page might in account creation dialogue. i.e. finding QQ's signup page for non-chinese speakers is not easy. - skype plugin (the kopete way would suffice) - i prefer to have a unified interface to all communication apps. own implementation would be cooler but video support has more priory for me... - if you decide to encrypt passwords, do that as a choice. i prefer to have them plaintext for cases when i forget them. |

| When The Client disconnets from one or more accounts, the notification bar icon stays as if I'm conected, so sometimes I don't notice it at all. The message bar solution could be better as well (a noticed it first after month when my pal told me about) |
| Support for some advanced tweaks. For example I have grouping my contacts, but some IM's automatically groups them. So there should be an option to choose how should the pidgin organize the contact list: by groups or by free-to-chat/logged-in/away/not-logged-in status. |

I want to talk to this person on Google talk whenever possible. How do I do it? Can I configure that it only switches to MSN if he is logged in on both connections, but busy on google talk and available on MSN? |
|
|
| yes, (and im not the only person as i seen at least 2 other people have this issue on neowin.net forums) there's a major crash bug in v2.5.3. once you load up the application and use it etc... then when you try 'exiting' the program it just crashes and you have to 'end task' to close the application. this never happened on earlier versions of Pidgin prior to v2.5.3. im using Windows Vista SP1. |
| IRC and XMPP support could be better regarding admin functions |
|
|
|

|
| The buddy list window font size. It would be nice to slim it down and fit more names on the screen. |

| i dont have them lately, but i think if i turn the facebook plugin on pidgin just crashes from time to time, facebook should be enabled by default anyway. |

|
| GTK on Windows seems to have problems. While ideally I'd like to see a port to the native toolkit, the main thing that bugs me is I always have to change the input method to "Windows IME" to get decent Japanese and Korean input working. |

| Why do chat windows lose their state after a certain amount of time? Why not leave chat text open for more than 5 minutes? Looking in the logs is annoying. Also, I sometimes get random "Process ended" dialogs when using Vista x64. One more thing, why is there a timeout when you're changing your status and typing in the box. While it has focus, it should allow the user as much time as they want to write their messages. |
| I feel that managing groups in Pidgin is a pita |

|
|
| better personnal message support ? |
| Sometimes not delivered messages, without any noticeable causes. Poor file transfer capabilities. |
| Sometimes it uses a lot of CPU then crashes. Tthis can be because of the animations (smileys) on MSN. |

|
| UI! UI! UI! And - maybe a joke, maybe not - listen to the ones migrating from messenger and MSN plus and let us developers extend Pidgin's functionality to live up to their needs. |
|
|
|
|
| *fix the ui for adding, editing, and removing msn status' *support for animated smilies in msn *ability to shown own avatar in chat boxes in msn *make it slightly more obvious how to add people to an msn conversation |
|
| MSN won't connect when I'm behind a web cache but I don't want to use HTTP connection mode. I think because part of the log-in process is over port 80 (which must go via the webcache) but the rest of the connection is over some other port, which I'm find to access on my network. |
| Add an option to disable all smileys, please. |
| The mail notification sometimes is incorrect. Reports the same mail twice if reconnected, and reports already downloaded mails. |
|
| The text entry is fixed. It wasn't in Gaim, don't know why that was changed. Not a huge deal, but there are times when it might be useful to change it. |
|
| can't switch on/off two protocol features: indicate typing and indicate leaving of conversation |
| Having the ability to deselect a buddy on the buddy list. better full screen support so games dont alt tab me when i get a msg. (w/o having to put the away msg on) cause lets face it sometimes i forget. |
|
|
|
| Ability to disable notification dialogs the same way spawning new chat windows can be prevented. More obvious indicators as to what account is being used for a particular chat session. Using multiple accounts on a single protocol can be confusing. |
|
|
|
| In windows, If you paste something formatted (bold, underlined, italic, different font, etc. ) into the inputbox, it will mess up the formatting, and keeps it until you choose "reset formatting". Very annoying. |
| some random crashes during sending offline messages |
| sometimes pidgin crashes without any failure message, so I can´t search for myself the problem |
|
| Even after removing my buddy icon from all my accounts, it still shows up next to the status-selector box. |

|

|
| No. |

| No, Thanks |
| Better support for MSN filesend would be nice. (Real client-to-client rather than via the MSN server). |
| More customization, including interface please. Think of Adium's looks for Linux and Windows :) |
|
|
| Pidgin 2.5.3 freezes when exiting on multiple computers and OS's. I haven't checked the active bug list, but it's definitely a bug with the only common denominator being me. |
|
| Automatic update system for plugins, like firefox... |
| Sometimes I am actually logged off from my MSN account , and Pidgin takes a long while to "realize" it. So I keep on chatting, and a while later I get the message where my message wasn't actually delivered. This is really annoying. But that's probably the protocol's fault anyways... |
| Drag and drop names into chatrooms instead of always going through the motions and manually clicking invite each time. Bigger chat windows, more color options for names and text of others in chats. Also, fixing issues with font background colors when chatting with AIM users who have colored backgrounds on their fonts. It always breaks up the colors with annoying white lines here and there. |
|
|
| That ugly names, for some of my MSN-buddies, that generated by the MSN plus Buddy name colorizer something. If I had more time I already would have fixed it since it's just match regexp patterns, but I doesn't downloaded sources yet. Well, you are the programmers of this application, so please, let me alone and fix this annoying thing yourselves. |
| Snarl spams every user has just signed in when i open Pidgin (using the snarl program) It would be nice if Snarl was supported by default :) |
| To use the spell check, you currently have to right click, then go to a submenu for spelling suggestions. Would be nice to have a few suggestions available without that extra click. Could be a Gnome thing, not sure. My desired behaviour is more or less shown by Firefox. |
| Make it start up faster. Ask for a master password to use the application. |

|
|
| often I will try to type a message to a friend, and find instead that it is doing a buddy list search, clicking on the chat window does not return the cursor, I have to click on the desktop THEN click on the chat window to talk. Another annoyance I have is the status system, I don't like how it automatically saves statuses you used with no option of getting rid of them. Also I find sometimes when I come back from away, it will list me as available, but retain the away message, which I have to manually delete. |
|
| Crashes when i tell vith somebody who use animation |
|
|
|
| 2.5.3 locks up nearly everytime I try to close it. I'm sure it'll get worked out though... |
| Yahoo protocol file transfer sometimes does not work (It is sending and apears completed but the other client does not recive - Yahoo Messenger 9 - Windows) |
| Pidgin didn't tell me when I got disconnected, it just reconnected automatically (IRC). A status message would have been nice. The only way I knew is in that short time I was disconnected someone stole my nickname, so I asked others in the chat channel and they reported I'd been disconnected. Also, support for (yahoo) video chat and/or file transfer would be nice, but not a necessity. |
| Please add more configuration options. |
| The status text box should appear at all times! Add a Buzz(Nudge) button. |
|
|
| I don't know if it's pidgin, or the msn protocol, but many times there is a switchboard error, and the first 5-10 messages can't be sent, after the first successful message change, it's stable. |
| The current version has a crashing issue that has already been reported and confirmed in the ticket list. It can be somewhat annoying that some things will work fine in one release and be completely broken in the next. |
|

|
| Middle-clicking the last tab of an IM window does not close the window. The History plugin causes disk thrashing, so I leave it disabled (currently disabled by default). Sometimes hitting enter after switching to Away or Available does not apply the new status message (in Windows version). Sometimes the find pane appears (when I accidentally press "/") but cannot instantly be closed by hitting ESC; I have to erase what I accidentally typed in before hitting ESC. |

| Bug #7849 in 2.5.3 (Windows) that will hang Pidgin on exit |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| -more stability, pidgin connects and disconnects without any reason -since v.2.5.3 pidgin crashes under windows when I quit the programm (klicking with the right mouse button on the icon in the systray and then quit) |
| the way its look like :) |
|
| in this current 2.5.3 version, i can log in/out of my screenames but the program hangs when i'm trying to turn it off. i have to use Task Manager > End Process to turn it off. in the last versions, this didn't happen |
| Some Buddys, even when online, always show as offline. Only bug i could find. |

| When using the conf chat, it's very very very usual that pidgin brakes and I have to restart it losing chat lines (and then important information). Considering i only use conference chats to work, whenever I need to do one i need to switch to the Yahoo IM which doesn't fail. |

| - Mass chat invitation capability. - Improved custom emoticon support (mainly MSN) - I know it's there, but received emoticons seem to reload again every time, instead of being cached, and you ought to be able to right-click one and add it to your own collection. |
| In my experience the file transfer feature is quite important. I think it is necessary too keep up it working. I would like to see the old typing notifications back as an option. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Yes, when a new contact is added and when I later log in again: Pidgin keeps asking that if I want to add it again, because it is not syncronised or something like that. Usually I remove and readd my account profiles then, and the problem wanishes. |

| create a way to not-to-show Plus! tags!!! these ***** tags destroy the simplicity of the interface! i would like to know what client are other users using :) (maybe also the OS) i don't know very well SIMPLE, but if it's aesy to implement, i think a general SIP support could be a good thing. now i'm using ekiga (and rarely skype...i need to contact some skype contact), but if people can find a unique sw to chat and use VoIP it could strike skype! (maybe a better support for see online skype acount could be another thing) ps:sorry for my english, i'm italian XD |

| Yeah, I miss LaTeX support, or any other solution how I can communicate my friends and schoolmates on the language of mathematics. It would be very important to me if I could write matrixes and integrals etc., I'm teaching mathematics and informatics, and of course it'd be easier and faster online [many travelling hours saved]. 2 or 3 years ago :) I've found a plugin, written by idontknowwho somewhere on Google, that gives pidgin LaTeX support (on Linux), but it hasn't satisfied me. It was very hard to use [complete LaTeX syntax], and it needed pidgin and this plugin installed on the partner's computer [it is worth sending the "LaTeX" message as an inserted image.] I may help the development if you think so and if you like my idea. Email adress below. |

| I'm using acer aspire one who have 1024x600 screen resolution. the problem is when i'm using pidgin some of the interface (for ex: preferences) didn't fit to the screen. And sometime it's randomly crashed when i'm trying to change the preferences. by the way i'm using the portable one from www.portableapps.com. And it's maybe nice if there's an option to choose whether the contact list of multiple IDs will be merged or not because sometime i use it along with my friends. And maybe you could develop an easier way to switch between proxies because when i'm using it on my college's wi-fi hotspot it require proxy. and for that i would love if it's have an easier way to switch between proxies just like FoxyProxy extension for Firefox for example. |

|
| Memory leaks on Windows version when running for a long period of time or when you have a long chat. |

| Yahoo messenger'd be working. Right now, the yahoo protocol support is defunct. |
| I installed the new deluge rc1 and my pidgin system tray icon dissapperead aswell as the buddy online status icons. I made an screenshot for you: http://image-bits.ro/view.php?image=4252 |
| Google Talk' should not be XMPP with values filled in. It would be nice if the downtime due to upgrading could be reduced to a few seconds. And it's way too many clicks to the 'no-gtk' download. |
|
|
| Auto-updating or update notifications would be helpful but I check the site once in a while for the updates, so it's more of a convienience issue than a necessity. |
|

| Support for ICQ DirectConnect (should be all like AIM DirectIM) Support for ICQ privacy lists (the Visible list in particular) Auxiliary status boxes for every account (I'm not pleased to see my ICQ and Jabber statuses intersected with IRC ones) |

| Seems to use a lot of memory in Windows, more than the default clients |
|
|
|
|
|
| HUGE BUG / CRASH on close since last version !!! |
| extensive memory usage (but this is mostly due to plugins and protocols) What I've been missing for ages is a "properties of (meta)contact" dialog box, however pidgin works fine w/o them, they could be useful i miss the possibility of clicking urls in status of my contacts |
| Send file button in chat window |
|
| Ugly smiley theme, too much resource usage with downloaded animated smileis (and turning the feature off crashed pigdin) |
| Gadu Gadu lib is old and crashes, update it finally!!! |
| Support of emoticons and custom avatars (like avatar exportation to others in msn) is very important to me and also the look and feel (secondary). I actually use emesene (nice UI) but I used Kopete first (changed because bad support of the msn protocol) I'm still keeping an eye on pidgin development ;-) Btw this survey is a good idea, thank you :) |

|
| Resize chat input box, please. |
| Have to have sounds muted or else it causes the system to lock up every once and a while. |
| IRC: better support for conversations (e.g. threaded view?) IRC: Don't show the list of people in this room by default IRC: Suppress chanserv messages etc. (but make them available on request) |
| Sometimes file transfers to AIM clients don't work, in which case I have to use AIM instead of pidgin. When multiple user accounts (I use AIM) are set up in pidgin, all of the other user's groups show up in the Buddy List. I don't know if this is an old bug that's been fixed, but when I uninstall and reinstall Pidgin in Windows XP (Home), the problem isn't fixed. |
|
|
| Possibly a problem on just my computer (or maybe with one of the plugins) but the buddy list of Pidgin 2.5.3 stays open when I try and exit Pidgin and I have to force it to close after it freezes. |
| I want to see the buddy icon next to the chat input box, without having to turn on the formatting toolbar or other unwanted features. |
|
|
|
| I've never liked the "account" management option dialogs. However, given the need to support so many protocols with idiosyncrasies, I tolerate it. |
| Google Talk support for Google Apps.... I DO hve to set server to google.talk.com, otherwise I get i namespace error from the google servers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Continous disconnections. |
|
| In the 2.5.3 Windows version of Pidgin, it rarely quits completely, requiring me to open the Windows task manager and kill the process. Both the Windows and Linux versions seem to be slow to open. Under Linux, the sounds seem to use lots of CPU cycles, so I have to turn them off. |
|
|
|
|
|
| plugins can make the whole client crash.. it's hardly acceptable, is it? :) |
| Not worthwhile to code it for Windows. Emulation sucks! |
|
|
| Filter out messages from bots on IRC connect (identify yourself, and accept incoming connections from our proxy scanners, etc.). |
|
| I have two IRC accounts set up in Pidgin, when someone sends me a private message it is not at all obvious which account they have sent a message to. Assigning different "protocol icons" to two accounts which are actually on the same protocol would be very helpful indeed. |
|
|
|
| 2.5.3 crashes every time I close it. I'll be very glad to see that fixed (never happened with previous versions) |
| Stability: Pidgin crashed a lot after hibernation. It also disconnects quite often from different chat servers. Organization of plugins: they should be organized and have a unified logic of configuration. |
|
|
|
| on vista64 i sometimes lose focus and ability to use the program over RDP, have to excecute the application again which is already open to regain focus. |
| Every now and again, my Pidgin crashes and doesn't allow me to exit it at all. |

|
| When I install the GTK app Deluge, all the icons in pidgin show up as broken icons. |
|
| Default chatroom server for Czech Republic is "conf.netlab.cz". NOT "msn.netlab.cz" as reported by Pidgin.. |

| Pidgin should be able to start in system tray. The option in the preferences doesn't work when I add Pidgin to startup via Gnome's session manager |
| Pidgin crashes / hangs / eats memory & resources on windows when resources to it are limited (i.e. watching a large movie or playing a game) |
| I think the buddy list should group names according to the chat client they are listed under and then by screenname. |
| No! For the example vv-support and x-statuses support. You allready have patches for that, but you wantn't to see them. As the result: patches getting old and not working with new versions. |

| Bug #1498 has been unfixed for a while: http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/1498 It makes it really hard to actually see whether I'm online or not at a glance. |
| Althought Pidgin has UPnP support, sometimes the file transfers still don't work. I often have file transfer problems with XMPP. Also, there was a spell checker language switcher plugin. I seldom got it to work but then it disappeared completely. I'd love to have it back! |

|
| Full support for sending and receiving offline messages in MSN - that and handwritten messages are the only things I need to open the MS client for. |
|
|
| 1. File transfer reliability (Yahoo!, MSN protocols). 2. Some protocols would annoy my friends with constant messages that I should upgrade to the latest version of the protocol default messenger (Yahoo, MSN). 3. Support for more features from the yahoo! and MSN protocols (photo/picture sharing, voice, cam) 4. More plugins, support for themes 5. Better integration with e-mail clients in both windows and Linux (Thunderbird, Evolution, Outlook, CSV files etc) 6. To remain as the default messenger in Ubuntu. |
|
| hugeness of interface, it very need to be as compact as possible an IM is some little tool not a central app. |
|
|
| I'm not sure why, but it seems that when I upgrade past pidgin 2.3.0 the buddy list search feature doesn't work, but I am happy with 2.3.0 on my computer now |
| no |
| Since upgrading to 2.5.3, the buddy list freezes when quitting. Please fix ASAP. |
| Version 2.5.3 seems to lock up when I try to close pidgin. |
|
|
|
| nope |
|
| When you copy text from the chat log, paste it in the input box and send it, you automatically set a specific format/color in your text font. No easy way to set the program's language. |
| 2.5.3 for windows fails to quit properly, requiring it to be forcibly killed. |
|
|
|
|
| When you switch aliases on different computers some of the other computer aliases stay the same. |
|
|
|
|
| Annoyance: As of the last upgrade to 2.5.3, the start-up time has increased before I actually see the application appear and the shut-down always leads to a hung application (I run Win XP SP3 in Wintel). Quirk 1: Despite being a user for 3 years and reading the FAQ, I still don't know what the heck buddy pounce is. I think standardization of feature names is needed to allow users to know what things are and do. Quirk 2: Creating a new status. Why do I need a name and then a message for each new status? All I really want is to type a phrase to appear to other users. I never quite know which item between the name or description appears to people. Please simplify this. I believe Yahoo! had this right a few years back. Quirk 3: Skins. If you're not using Linux, this seems impossible to do. For better or worse I'm a windows user. I love Pidgin so please don't penalize me for running XP. |
|
| Option to clear out the typed in status when switching statuses so the last typed in status does not appear by default. |
|
| I'd like to see offline message support extended to as many protocols as possible. I understand that accurately reproducing all the features of any given official chat client is by no means the goal of a project such as Pidgin, but offline message support is, for the clients that have it, important to me. |
|
| having to build new versions from source is annoying |
| why my status in Pidgin doesn't appear in YM ??? I hope Pidgin's crew will fix them up. |
|
|
| I use some protocol plugins (Facebook, Skype, and others), After updating Pidgin, the protocol icons disappear, and that is annoying. I have to download the icons, and install them into there correct folder. The "Status" option. I have a few that I would like to delete, and having an option would be nice. (Windows Xp Pro SP3 32-Bit) |
| Pidgin seems to crash randomly at most up to date Ubuntu version (2.5.2) as of December 19th 2008. May be fixed in 2.5.3 version, or be an Ubuntu issue. No default support or included plugin for changing the displayed font size in the application (in conversations, primarily) that I have been able to locate. The third party extended preferences plugin seems to accomplish this, but is tedious to install and should not really be needed for a feature that is borderline necessary for users who have weaker vision and benefit immensely from larger fonts without having to ask other users to change their sending font. |
|
| Sometimes pidgin will crash in windows XP if the network connection becomes disconnected. But this is a rare occurrence. Also, I would like the away message to automatically be cleared when I change status like the previous versions. |
|
|
|
| I'm always getting disconnected from MSN. Help! |
| Lost simple click and drag resize of chat input text area. Bring it back. |
| A boss button would be nice. |
|
|
|
| Text from away message remains in box (albeit highlighted) when switching to available from away...if I am away "showering" I probably wouldn't be available "showering" |
|
|
| None! I am a very happy customer! |
|
| Um... NO! It does exactly what it says it does, and doesn't crash while doing so. However, it would be nice to have a Linux user be able to have an encrypted conversation with a Windows user. |
|
|
|
| Menus/UI getting too complicated - I find myself preferring empathy more and more. |
|
|
|
|
| When changing status from away to available(not a custom available), 2.5.3 keeps the text from the away status does not disappear. This is only a delay of a few seconds, but it seems a simple fix, and much more intuitive |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| - please let me disable this stupid msn custom smileys some people have, they take ages to load and are sometimes very big... i'd like to see this independent from normal smileys (like :) ) though (i'd disable smileys but it crashes pidgin every time for me) - please support msn FAST file transfers.... - the settings ui could use some rework - what about some hotkey for showing/hiding offline contacts |
|
|
|
| For some reason, if I have Pidgin open at the same time that I'm also logged in to my Gmail account, and I change my status, it doesn't change in Gmail. (I've confirmed, however, that it changes for other people seeing my Gmail status--but the window in which I'm logged in in Gmail doesn't change its status, which is a bit confusing.) I suspect that this is really Google's problem, and not yours, but working around a quirk with their system would still be nice (if possible). Also, the way you change your status is rather confusing, to me. It took me a little while to figure out how to change it to something that's not just one of the default options like "Available." I'm used to the Gmail/Google Talk paradigm, where you just click in a field and start typing. In Pidgin, if I want to set it to something custom (and it's currently a default), I have to define a new status, which opens up this whole box with lots of options, lets me save it, etc. I just wanted to change my status! (If there's actually an easier way to do this, which I suspect there is, it needs to be way more obvious/intuitive to find.) |
|
|
|
| I love pidgin, but just please add the IM sign on windows, theres sometimes i dont even know my girlfriend logs in. |
| Crashes corrupting the blist and accounts preference files to the point a program restart requires inputting accounts all over again. |
|
|
|
| In 2.5.3, each time i select Quit option from tray or main windows, it removes the tray icon and then hangs out. This tested many times in Vista SP1 and XP SP3. |
| Sometimes I get messages from a mate, but my messages don't go out. *shrugs* |
|
|
| Plugins should update automatically (e.g. pidgin-facebook). There are crashes because of music-tracker plugin 0.4.1 on ubuntu 8.10 (64 bit). There are too many menus to click-through until I can manage an account. Generally an improved usability would be appreciated. |
| I hate the way you change status - it really needs to be redesigned in a smarter way. It often gets in my way, especially when changing status from with description to another without description etc. |
|
|
|
|
| My only real problems occur just after updating. After every update I run into problems I didn't encounter before, and I have rarely (if ever) seen any noticeable changes to justify said update. For example, on this last "upgrade" I now can't close Pidgin without killing the process. The process starts to eat up CPU and just hangs indefinitely. Although I guess it's at least partly my fault for updating when I know it serves no purpose for me. Also, as I see it the current "bug report system" for support is almost completely useless for users. People report the problem without getting any fix, and quite often the "bug" is either ignored, or people claim the problem is only happening to a slim few, and is therefor not important enough to be fixed. |
|
|
|
|
| The interface could really be improved. I have seen much better, but then maybe thats just me. |
| MSN- my personal message i didn't see. |
|
| Pidgin 2.5.3 crashes on exit (with facebook-chat plugin, but they say it's an issue with Pidgin), that really annoys me. |
|
| I only use Pidgin as an MSN client (because I hate the interface of the official one). I frequently get timeouts on sending messages, even though my connection is perfectly stable. I don't think it's the server as the official client doesn't have issues like this. |
|
| Ability to delete a pounce from the same screen as adding it (from context menu on buddy list). |
| * Protocol Icons should be used as Status Symbols. It's really hard to tell which of my friends Accounts I would be talking to if I click on a name * The Prefenrences Dialog is huge but offers only very few things to set * the gtk style which the wide spaces and big buttons makes it like too big - things should be smaller and neater since it's only a sidescreen app |
|
|
| The image files should be installed in the proper freedesktop.org locations and not just dump everything in /usr/share/pixmaps. Are the libtool .la files really necessary for plug-ins? It would be nice also if there was a configure switch to be able to install the plug-ins in /usr/libexec/[dir] instead of spamming /usr/lib/[dir] because you can't share plug-ins between applications. |
|
|
|
| The default plugin that is supposed to make the chat window flash on new messages doesn't make them flash - or if it does, maybe once. It means that I don't notice that there are any, which makes the feature useless. |

| Pidgin is simple, that's a good thing, though it can be a little bit clumsy at times. Improved interface, and more options should do it. |

| For years now, on windows, my IM windows have been prone to video corruption whenever another window moves over them! It's probably a GTK and not pidgin issue - but it's still annoying!` |
|
| problems with msn account not being able to conenct in certain versions |
|
|
| In 2.5.2 that I currently use there is no way to vary the proportion of the message field and the input field. A window-edge like resize, to adjust this could fix that, and maybe not a big deal to code. |
|

|
| When person wants to be authorized, pidgin only shows an authorize/disagree button with some uselsess prompt. I would want to check users' info first. Also, there' still problems with sucky ICQ encodings, but that's not very important to me. |

| As a minor gripe, it'd be nice if offline messages in MSN were delivered with formatting intact (although, this might be a limitation of the MSN protocol and not something you can change). |

| I would like to see more work put into file transfers. This seems to be one feature that has received very little attention. This was true with GAIM as well. File transfers are slow and sometimes do not even complete. The google talk client allows file transfers, but pidgin does not support this. |
| Sometimes having one buddy 2 times in the buddy list leads to strange behaviour. |

| * a really nice "last posts from previous chats with this contact" display, not the ugly one via plugin * priority system for multiaccount contacts |
| In Vista x64, sometimes the IM box will not blink on the taskbar and will not sound even though sounds are enabled. |
|
| I do not understand the process for installing plugins; there must be a way short of compiling plugins in purple - I would love help - this is the only gripe I have with pidgin. I use ubuntu 8.04 |
| Sometimes when closing Pidgin on Vista by right-clicking the icon in the bottom-left hand corner, the window appears, but black. Using 2.5.3. Thanks :) |
| #7606 - Really annoying, since different protocols use different default group to add contacts. I really like Google Talk official client buddy list. In 2.5.2, when sorted by status, online and mobile users are separeted from others, only online, users. |
| XMPP should be listed as "XMPP/Jabber". |
| jabber file transfer sometimes get 100% cpu usage |
|
|
| while using MSN, there are often problems such as messages not being delivered or received.. also file transfer is way too slow.. |
|
|
|
| In Windows Vista, whenever I close pidgin from the taskbar (right click, Quit), the buddy list freezes and I have to End Task it. |
|
| windows desktop integratino should be more windows like, remove gtk looklike and replace it with windows standard buttons and look. And when windows look is used, get version information from windows, not hardcode pidgin to xp or vist look. |

| msn offline messages...better compatibility please! (i switched to another client only for that in the past) |
| It could be nice to link (manually) multiples accounts for each *unique* contact and collapse them, showing only the protocol we prefer to use. Example, we have two contact, John (who have msn, aim and xfire) and Chuck (who have aim and xfire). And we said in the settings, we prefer: msn > aim > xfire. normal view (colapsed) only show the "prefered" protocol: John (msn) Chuck (aim) "expanded" view show everything (can be one contact at a time) John (msn) - aim - xfire Chuck (aim) - xfire I don't know how it could work with groups but I found I tend to forgot to use other protocol and didn't saw someone was online. |

| Better buddy list management. Add button to show offline buddies. Add column to show last login or chat date. |
| lags at times on a core 2 due comp and randomly crashes every so often. |
| Yes, stability on windows xp (and mostly vista) should be improved, in my case I love pidgin's simplicity but new releases are crashing more often than usual and thus I've turned to windows live messenger... |
| Pidgin BSOD -- on the new version I am unable to quit without cancelling the actual executable process. that's it - -overall an awesome program. |

| Perhaps its my plugins or something particular to my install, but Pidgin could use some more stability fixes. Particular when dealing with file transfers over MSN or group chats. I dislike emoticons, but it would be nice to sometimes see custom emoticons without having any of them enabled. The most elegant thing I can think of is some visual cue near a custom emoticon if they're disabled that one could click on to view it if desired. |

|
| i would like to be able to just drag a buddy from the buddy-list into a 2 people chat window and have a new 3 people chat window automatically created. Any new buddies dragged into the new window would just be added to the conversation, provided they share the same protocol, otherwise an error message is in place... or better yet, a warning and a workaround :p |
|
| 1- reworked interface |
|
|
|
| Replace the green dots with the protocol icons! Let user specify a huge input field size, right now i`m always copy-pasting stuff from notepad when talking about code with other people. |
| MSN has a problem with me being Invisible: sometimes goes through continual log on-log off cycle. Other than that, just the last few MSN features: voice clips mainly. |
|
|
| Pidgin crashes a lot of times when it's being closed, in Windows Vista. |
|
|
| I'm having problems logging into my e-mail accounts with the "Open Inbox" option on my Yahoo! and MSN Hotmail accounts. I would also like to see that option added to the AIM account menu. |
| There should be a enter button right next to the chat box because people might use Pidgin on a system with only a touch screen and use an on-screen keyboard instead of a physical one. It might also help those who are physically unable to use a keyboard. |
| faster speed and lower foot print are always appreciated, but these should take the back seat to features for now, as there isn't much of an issue |
| Non UTF8 characters like those used in French in the status crash Pidgin using the MusicTracker plugin |
| Better Smileys |

| I am running an Athlon 6000+, and Vista 64 bit, and every time I close Pidgin, it hangs up on me, and I have to kill it through task manager. I never had this problem until I started using this processor. (I say processor, because I ran XP 32 bit, and Vista 32 and 64 bit, and Debian, and had the same problem. Im not sure if there is a bug with the instruction sets in this processor or what. It's not a major problem (and I will continue to use Pidgin because it's the best cross platform IM client) but it is slightly annoying. |
|
| A more configurable contact list (see Adium) would be nice. For littler or more concrete things, I tend to submit trac tickets :-) |
|
| On occasion the software will mysteriously crash and I won't know why. It will just close, randomly. Maybe implement a feature that if it's about to close for some reason tell me that reason - even in a very verbose and techy way - so I have a starting point to search the net with. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Consistently crashes on Windows Vista 64 bit. Font handling could be improved (half the time formatting will come in with the same color for foreground and background though the sender did not choose anything close to that; sometimes incoming fonts are too small). |
| on newest version it crash on exit with aol. |
|
|
| Add an option in the Preferences window to hide buddy icons and idle times from the buddy list (you can do this in prefs.xml but it's a bit annoying). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The new behaviour of the text entry area with its forced size and inability to change it is INSANELY ANNOYING! I cannot comprehend why there is no option to reinstate the old behavior (it bothers no one to add one extra tick box in options). I have moved to funpidgin (carrier) due to this but am having issues with message send errors and would like to upgrade to the latest version. PLEASE fix this. |

|
| well its not significant but its just bothers me how the buddy list pops up before it closes(windows xp) and it has a problem last week recognizing my new yahoo account but it orks fine now |
| The offline buddy group is a big thing. I like digsby/adium because they have it, but I hate the single sign-in digsby thing, and adium is only on my macbook. |

| The design / usability and layout of functions doesn't seem as polished as other IM programs, even some much younger than Pidgin. |
| None, you guys do a great job of keeping the bugs squashed. |
|
| full offline messages support as per various IM protocols use them. |
| I use Pidgin mainly for AIM. I have problems deleting empty groups. I can delete a group, sign off, back on, and it will reappear empty. DirectIM rarely works - especially when sending embedded images. ---------------------------------------- Showing empty groups of other accounts is a little annoying for a single user with multiple accounts. But when several people use the same Pidgin, it really becomes a problem. Users shouldn't be able to see other user account groups. ----------------------------------------- Accounts window can be confusing. Most people are used to a sign on screen. Some people don't realize enabling is signing on and disabling is signing off. Or that a protocol is their service of choice. When opening Pidgin without disabling an account before qutting, you're asked for a password. It's confusing if you want to use a different account each time. And especially if there are multiple people using the same instance of Pidgin. ---------------------------------- Conversation window - text input part could be resizable as an option. It may just be that I'm used to years of larger text input areas. But the autoadjusting is a bit jarring sometimes. ----------------------------- Pidgin 2.4.1 - Chaning status to offline signs you off, but account still shows as enabled in the account window. ----------------------------- After recommending Pidgin to my mom and sister, they both liked AIM better, but couldn't explain why very well. They 'just do'. My sister said Pidgin is plain and dull. AIM has STYLE! I don't know what that means. ------------------------ After talking to her, I guess it means AIM has themes and more smilies. |
|
| freeze when quitting pidgin (on windows) |
|
| chat/channel grouping into tabs and notifications have too many options and plugins, which overlap in unclear ways, but no combination of them provides satisfying experience. IRC support is very basic, chanserv/nickserv and other bots are annoying. in single-user chats the nick is repeated in titlebar, infobar, and chatbox, would like to hide the infobar if there is only one tab. |
|
|
| QQ smiley not working properly. |
| The amount of padding throughout pidgin's interface can be a bit unneccesary, particularly around buddy names in chat windows. It's at least 10px above and below the name. The whole fuss about the chat box size was truly ridiculous, and I can't honestly see why there's an issue with having a resizable box, or offering an option for that. Talk about a bikeshed. |
|

|
| Pidgin 2.5.3 crashes on shutdown in Windows (see http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/7849). This is *incredibly* annoying. |

|
| I really like the "Now Playing" plugin in Emesene. Mostley because it visually change the status message and you can easly turn of what you listening to with a button to the right side of the statusmessage. |
| Stability. It might be the QQ protocol's library Pidgin uses, but it just crashes randomly. Grabing emoticons from other MSN buddies is buggy. |

|
| Better reconnect logic. After the connection was dropped and came back on, I have to manually press reconnect. The client should do that without questions every minute at least (IMO). I've been wondering more than once why my chat partner won't answer. It was because I didn't see the connection to the server being dropped (buddy list was hidden) and the chat window was covered (so I didn't see the "offline" label next to the name). Happens even if the network interface was never dropped, but the server was down. This just doesn't work in Pidgin right now, even with an auto-reconnect plugin. |

| - EXTREMELY slow file-transfer needs immediate fix. (it MSN at least) - PLEASE, PLEASE fix that a when you copy a colorful text from somewhere and past it into chat, the color of the text typed will be the same as the copied text!

| Ctrl+L keybinding means two drastically different things depending on the focused window. Often, I end up clearing my chat window instead of bringing up a list of logs. This is especially tricky since it's easy to form a mental association of Ctrl+L in the buddy window being "bring up the list of logs for this user." Please make it behave the same regardless of focus, or at lease make its chat window counterpart less drastic than clearing the whole screen. |

| 1. Fixing a Crash on Exiting Pidgin (Pidgin 2.5.3, Windows XP) |
|
|
| - |
|
|
| Pidgin often fails to connect to yahoo because a domain name is used instead of an ip (error resolving... ). I can change that, but it should be the default option. Should have the possibility of sending lots of files at once without displaying a dialog for each one. I'd like to send a bunch of pictures to a friend at once without having to archive them first to prevent my friend from being bombarded with dialog boxes. |
| It loads up slow on start up when I start up my computer. I would like it to start up faster. |
| On x64 mainly vista x64 i would like the bugs fixed so when you close pidgin that it will not require a manual kill -9 |
|
|
|
|
|
| The option to sort contacts by groups and then group all offline contacts toghether, leaving only the online ones in the groups. That's something I really miss. |
|
| File transfers in msn can be painfully slow, and will automatically cancel if the other user doesn't accept within 60 seconds. Have to keep sending the "typing" signal to keep the connection alive until they accept. Also, when you group the same contact on multiple protocols together into one contact, the default is normally the one "online".. however, "idle" ranks above "away". Is there a way to change the priority of the different protocols? Finally, there is no option to set your status to "idle" after x minutes of inactivity, only away. I understand that some protocols don't have "idle", but it would be nice to set your status as that for those that do. |
| As of 2.5.2 (still present in 2.5.3) on Windows, the status box doesn't clear itself when going from Away to Available. ARG ARG ARG! :( |
| My Yahoo! account remains connected long after my network connection fails, so I have to disable/enable the account manually when I regain connectivity (unlike my GoogleTalk account, which behaves properly - disconnects on net fail). |
| none I remember |
|
| The latest Pidgin update has my client crashing which i've never had to deal with before. |
| I've been having some random crashes on WinXP SP2. Today I found that the Pidgin process(on Windows Task Manager) was eating 180MB of memory with only one conversation open. Transaction Load was 1.5 GB, as soon as I closed Pidgin it went down to 385MB. So I see a "memory problem" here... |
| Geologically slow file-transfers over MSN render it virtually useless to me. |
| Russian translation can be improved. |
|
| Version 2.5.3 often fails to respond upon exiting the program. |
| 1. The configuration of the current "online"-status has to be configurable. The setting at the bottum of the buddy list looks like a global status-switch. But sometimes I want to be with one account online an with the next invisible or so. May there could be a global status switcher at the bottom of the buddy list and more detailed status switches for each group. Maybe there is a better way ;-) 2. If its possible set the standard codepage to UTF-8 not the system-codepage. There has been many trouble with different codepages in the past. |
| File transfer with ICQ protocol. Sometimes the connection isn't established. Problem is not tie to sopphistical client at other site. + Receiving "more than one" file(s) --> now the transfer is paused after first file is completely received. |
|
|
|
| The "smile!" widget should be a dropdown menu, to be consistent with the "Font" one. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| It would be nice if the current version could exit without killing the process in Vista x64, or that it would not eat-up 300+MB of RAM when left open. |
| My only complaint is there is no volume adjuster for pidgin sounds. maybe a slider near the [ O Available | v ] panel at the bottom. A fix for a crashing bug that occurs in long chats would help too. (it may be cache.) |
|
|
|
|
| Yahoo! often has problems in sending/receiving files. Sometimes it works, mostly it doesn't |
|
|
| I want the chat windows to be customizable similar to how Adium lets you do it. I know you guys were working on something with Webkit so I hope that you guys are successful in implementing this, especially on Windows (I'm stuck on either that or on a Mac). |

| upgrade process: you must download from the website and reinstall. I don't kwnow why but it's annoying. and i hate the auto lock (magnet window, idon't know the english name) of the buddy list at the screen borders. Not a bad feature but it waste my desktop everytime (windows vista). |

| I want to add users to the ICQ-ignorelist and not just ignore them in the Pidgin IM. Also I'd like to be able to modify the ICQ ignorelist. |
|
|
|
|
| Would be nice if IM logging was enabled by default. |
| None. Every time that there is a problem, people in the forums are very supportive to fix it immediately. Another thing is the team releases a new version once they fixed the problems. |

| I'd love to see Skype without any extra plug-in and client needed. But that's a minor request, because with Pidgin and "Skype portable" all my protocols can be used. The only bad thing is the memory allocation when both clients are running. |
|
| Nope |
|
| no |
|
| A drop-down box to add buddies to a chat would be easier than the current system of typing in their e-mail/username/alias/display name. There is currently no way I know of to view chat logs without memorizing "msn chat@hotmail.com.chat". Animated custom emotions are not supported on the Windows Live protocol. It would be nice if the Windows client updated automatically, instead of relying on the user to download and update, like Firefox does. Pidgin doesn't fully support the highlight - middle click method of pasting on the Linux client (Ubuntu 8.10). In order to paste text which was copied from Pidgin using this method, the text must remain highlighted. It seems a bit stupid that the buddy list is sorted alphabetically by default upon being installed. Wouldn't sorting by status be more appropriate? The spellcheck is inaccurate and outdated. Pidgin occasionally remembers my status on last exit on startup, even though I have that option disabled. The font menu on Conversation windows would be easier to use if organized into a single window (Like I think the official Windows Live client does), as opposed to a menu that closes once anything is changed. My buddies often add links to their status message, yet I lack a method to click these links or copy then paste them into my browser without viewing their profile. |

| I sometimes have ICQ charset problems (getting garbled messages) in the Windows versions of Pidgin, but never experience this in Linux. |
| FULL support of Jabber please |
| Hang when exiting Pidgin 2.5.3 (Bug 7849) |
|
| Direct MSN file transfers would be great! My friends always gives up when they're trying to send me files. :) You probably already know it but 2.5.3 sometimes crashes on MSN file transfers. This made me switch back to 2.5.2. |
|
| the input message box sucks, my photo is dead small, i simply can't see myself, not even an option to make it bigger, aahhhrrg! |
| - Upgrade in-program (like the one in Firefox) instead of pop-up that new version is available - Faster file transfer |

| When my friend on MSN sends me custom smileys fro a windows client I can't see them. But if my friend us another client, like aMSN, it works. I a friens have a big buddy icon, I can click it in the chat window and make it larger. Then my friend changes to a small icon (like msn for mobile phones) and then I can't click it to make the upper part of the chat window small again. I have Pidgin 2.5.2 an Ubuntu |
|
|
|
|
| I'd like to remove buddy groups in my accounts |
|
|
| the 2.5.3 doesnt exit when it should. i would like to see better core code, more stability being an open source client. when i think of open source, think of more stability, more reviews... i think stability is the most important factor. then you can add features and plugins. |
|
|
|
| msn support : I need to install MSN-pecan to connect to this network |
| Any minor problems I have experienced have been part of third-party add-ons, so I guess there's not a lot you can do about it. The PidginTeX plugin seems to cause Pidgin to freeze sometimes requiring a complete restart of my laptop. Pidgin itself hasn't caused me any major problems for years. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Installer doesn't have a 48x48px icon for Windows Explorer in Vista Update check plugin wraps changelong at the wrong line length in Windows, which looks obviously broken IRC should use fixed-width fonts. Too many other clients (and their users) expect fixed-width to make variable a good choice |
| There are some tiny display bugs in the buddy list sometimes, but that's not so annoying. |
| I know it's been asked just a few questions ago, but there _really_ should be a support forum for new users to get helped as fast as possible (plus that would allow users to _search_ for solved topics instead of posting new questions to the list) |
| Improve the status autosafe thing. |

|
|
|
|
|
|
| The menus annoy me alot, I don't like what they contain and how they are organized. For example the properties entry is normally the last entry in most programs etc.. The plugins list dialog should be re-designed. Maybe two part design, on the left side a list of plugins and on the right a description & configuration for the selected plugin on the left side. The buddy info dialog should not be a text view. |
|
| The handling of the ICQ invisible-list ist very unintuitive. It works but the interface suggests you are doing something else than editing your visible list. |
| Ability to more closely handle the XMPP to/from authorizations ( like psi has ). |
|
|
|
| Better integration with Gnome/Network Manager to detect when a connection has been re-established would be nice. I use wi-fi and hibernate, and on resume my accounts have to time out before connecting. |

|
| on linux/gnome/compiz, the notification icon should bring up the desktop which contains the chat window, just like it used to. but this might be a compiz bug and it should be "officially" possible to write a plugin that mangles incoming/outgoing text. i've seen one such C plugin that wrote directly into message buffer, but that didn't seem too pretty, and you can't do it in perl. and better plugin tutorials & docs would be pretty too |
|
|
|
|
|
| Please make icons for menus in the buddy list window. Current text menu labels are very long and don't fill in the buddy window if it's of small size. |
|
| Me and my colleagues found a bunch of connect/disconnects using version 2.5.2 and XMPP protocol. Version 2.5.3 is still somewhat new to comment but I'm sure there will be improvements! ;-) |
| File transfers are still a source of frustration, but are these problems because of Pidgin or because of the protocols involved? I don't know. You've also managed to get rid of most of the memory leaks -- please don't add any more and I'll be very happy! |
| Have a better testing and homologation process. Version 2.5.3 crashes on application quit and sometimes during chatting. I have to rollback to2.5.2. |
|
|
| I would like to be able to "merge" more than one contact from different protocols into one. That is, I have a friend that yas Googletalk, and Yahoo accounts. I would like to Merge both of his accounts into just a single item in my buddy list, so that whenever either one of them is online, he shows up as online, and my messaging him picks a default account for the conversation. Make it easy to change which account I message as well. |
|
|
|
|
| -Better protocol connection options, I mean, make the clients like google talk connect via http, in case the ports are restricted in the LAN |
| Some offline messages in ICQ is received unreadable (encoding detection failing). Sometimes online messaging gone broken too, but this one is quite rare. |
| No. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Minimize/close behaviour is more than a little confusing for new users. |
|
| Not all IRC RFC's are supported |
|
| buggy plugins should not be able to crash pidgin (Facebook chat !) more protocol-related feaures (MSN video/audio, self-icon downloading from the msn servers for example) |
|
|
| plugins are a mess, some work some don't, most don't offer valuable functionality, if there was a clear place on pidgin to store and organize plugins by compatibility and version, it would probably make plugin developers more interested in developing stuff to pidgin and it would help make pidgin much better, also keeping or giving some forum support for the plugins so users always have a place to talk about or as support for plugins even if it is from other users. |
|
| Would like to be able to change the window background colors to something other than white. |
|
|
|
| Audio/video support was promised but never arrived. Experimental features (e.g. updated MSN protocol) take an extremely long time to be tested and pushed out. |
| I am having a problem with version 2.5.3 not closing out on my Vista Ultimate machine since I upgraded to that version. |
| way to set common status messages across accounts better notification/reconnection of disconnects |
| Please merge with msn-pecan. |
|
|
| clean up or innovate the UI a bit |
|
|
| I just started using finch as well - I find finch's commands (alt-?) are not intuitive. That isn't as big of a deal as the fact that there is no help option that I could find. |
|
|
| Newest versiion (2.5.3) seems to hang when attempting to close. May be related to use on 64-bit Vista.... don't know, but OS not widely supported. |
| I can't stand the resizing text box. I don't want the user interface to alter itself like this. It's very annoying, especially when scrolling through past sent messages. Pidgin is often the application that uses the most memory that is running. I'm using 5 plugins, all stock plugins. I want the option of a Send button in the conversation dialog so that when I am copy and pasting things with the mouse into the conversation box i don't have to reach for the keyboard to send. I'd like the ability to temporarily log in and out of IRC servers without permanently disabling the account for that server. Having control-L clear the chat buffer by default is incredibly annoying to me. Especially considering when I hit Control-L, what I want to do is view that user's chat log -- i.e. see recorded chat information, not erase it! There is a critical difference between Control-L in, say a terminal and in pidgin: Control-L in a terminal inserts a new page -- the old scrollback is still available, it's simply hidden. You can scroll up to see it. However in pidgin, Control-L is a destructive operation. Information is lost. In most applications, Control-L redraws the screen and wipes out junk data. There is no analog I know of to pidgin's behavior, and destroying information is unexpected. I am aware that it is possible to reconfigure this keybinding. My argument is simply that Control-L should not be the default. Control-L should either do nothing or bring up that user's log. |
|
|
| It would be great to have an option to replace the grouping in the buddy list with two groups - online and offline. I have a couple of friends who refuse to switch because of a lack of that feature alone, because they regularly talk to people who are "invisible." Also being able to replace grouping with different "services as groups" would be very useful to me. I already emulate this by placing all my aol contacts in the "aol" group and the msn contacts in the "msn" group etc... |
| Detection of network errors based on Linux status (without waiting for no response from the servers) |
|
| Pidgin sometimes quitting down without any notice. I normally only notice after a while and have no idea how that could be. |
|
| A web site in spanish!!! I'm speak in spanish |
| Facebook chat seems unstable in releases up to 2.5.2 - I'll be trying again in 2.5.3 - it drops the connection or fails to log on frequently. |
|
|
|
| click on someone in room list to im rather than have to click on them in buddy list |
|
|
|
|
| re-sizable chat text area, no "on top" feature |
| The developers do not listen to the community properly and make rash design decisions. |
|
|
| better update process. (menu option - upgrade, find newer version). |
| Not really minor, but a fix, not a new feature - performance needs help. Notably, handling of long term logs, both storage and search, are not nearly as performant as they could be. This is mostly due to the enourmous number of files created - a typical chatroom ends up with >2000 single files which make any sort of searching an issue. |
|
|
|
| Stability, but that might be the plugins I use. |
|
|
| Not really, I think they've all been fixed already. |
|
| no |
|
| Unless fixed in 2.5.3 (only just installed it so don't know yet): The "unable to deliver message" errors when using the MSN protocol. This *never* happened with Microsoft's client. Sometimes it's so bad I have to give up conversations because I have to re-send every message several times before they go through. |
|
|
| More stable file transfer for ICQ and XMPP. |
|
| Maybe more smilies? |
|
| I miss the resizable text entry box. (I *really* miss it) No longer able to use small buddy icons |
|
| Configuration windows could be made clearer Buddy list has too much whitespace around contacts (maybe optional "minimalist" mode or something?) |
| Smiley themes. If I import a wrong theme the program keeps crashing instead of disabling the theme. |
| I bet it's a GNOME or Ubuntu related aspect, but when the popup notification for a person shows up, the action button Show doesn't give focus to the window, it stays in the background. |
| * fast access to "show offline buddies" (some shortcut [without hacking the configs manually] or as in kopete a top icon list) * Some statistics as in kopete (about user online time activity etc) |
|
| Every once in a while Pidgin fails to make an icon in the system tray. A restart of Pidgin fixes this, but it would be nice if it worked 100%. |
|
|
| After minimize/restore window, chat is often scrolled up to the beginning of the conversation and then I have to scroll to the bottom to see new message. It's terribly annoying. |
|
|
| -Fast file transfer for the MSN protocol. -Saved statuses still doesn't work, have to delete statuses in a config file. |
|
| Disconnection of MSN, too frequent to be acceptable. Need to disconnect/reconnect MSN all the time, halfway during the chat, due to problem such as "Message cannot be sent". |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| There should be less fixed sizes in the interface. Resizability is good. |
|
|
|
|
| No - thank you very much for your efforts so far! It is just easy to use and friendly enough for me. |
| I would like it if there was a way of reducing the amount of memory lost when using Pidgin. |
| If I switch to away with the default "not available" message, then back to available, I end up available with a message of "I'm not available right now". This didn't used to happen (I'd rather not have to explicitly remove the message.) |
|
|
| I have a Jabber account that seems to need Kerberos tickets, and all of Pidgin freezes until I log into Kerberos and get the tickets. This is annoying enough that I've just turned off that account. |
|
| not really |
|
|
| Search a contact in the buddy list by typing few letters (as in Sametime, gtalk, etc) |
|
|
| skype plugin that doesn't hog cpu [powertop] gadu gadu plugin not working in ubuntu |
|
| MSN is a bit unstable for me on linux, no problems in Adium though. |
| Have the icon, of the person sending you a message, flash when received. Not only in the tray. |
|
| Make links in contacts' status messages to be clickable. |
| My friends and coworker just see that the MSN alert method (they say wizz I think) don't work. I don't want this feature, or at least I want to be able to disable it. They don't want this feature either, they just note that it don't work... Damn users... |
| stupid input box, i want to resize it |
|
| There is a slight amount of lag when the window gets or loses focus, and loses focus randomly from time to time. Not bad, just annoying when you are typing and don't notice till you're done. |
|
|
| File transfert speed for MSN is really really bad :) |
|
| There's no indefinite time to send a file via MSN. For instance, I try to send a file to Joe, but he's watching his favorite soap-opera at the time and doesn't click to accept. After a minute, the transfer is automatically shut. And that's not cool. Nor is watching a soap-opera. |
| I use two google talk accounts, my gmail account and my google apps account using a custom domain. Whenever I sign in to the gmail account I get prompted to accept the certificate for talk.google.com, saying it claims to be from gmail.com instead. Please give a checkbox or something like that so I can accept the certificate permanently rather than accepting every time I log in. |
|
|
| Can't set status to "invisible" before logging into the first account. |
|
|
|
|
| When using the Windows client, occasionally when Pidgin is only sitting in the task bar (no open windows), it stops responding to mouse clicks and I have to kill it in task manager. |
| XMPP/Google talk file transfer |
| MSN disconnects/reconnects |
| filetransfers in MSN are slow |
|
|
|
|
| the text input field, would like to be able to minimize that to 1 line like in prior versions |
| just keep it simple |
|
| When you use several accounts the buddy list is's a little bit confuse. |
|
| When signed in with multiple accounts, there is no place in the message window to tell what account the message was sent to. So if two contacts have similar names on two different accounts, it's sometimes easy to confuse the two. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Adding images to a conversation is often non intuitive (e.g. no drag'n'drop). |
|
|
|
|
| more configuration options please! like buddy list sorting options, and timestamps in the chat window that says when a user signs off or on |
|
| An easier way to see which buddy icon is being used by an account. Maybe showing it in the chat windows. What about an optional nice splash screen? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Nothing major; just looking for more performance and memory improvements. |
|
| No easy way to change the language used in the spell-checker |
|
| I use XMPP account and of late (2.5.2) I keep getting "Invalid certificate chain" error when I try to login. If I remember correctly, this was working with older versions. I would love to see that working properly now. |
|
|
|
| The name sucks. I'd kinda like the app to pull a string from a config file to decide what to call itself, so I can see 'gaim' in the taskbar. It's Azureus/Vuze all over again. |
|
| I can't run the sounds when somebody talk to me, like other clients like msn messenger. I don't know if I haven't configured pidgim or not, but maybe if this feature will be automatic, i like more pidgim. |
|
| Changing statuses (online/offline/dnd) when you have a status message as well saves that status+message combo in the recently used status list, when i would prefer that it didn't. |
|
|
|
|
| better handling of offline contacs with an offline group maybe |
| I never seem to show up as idle to other people, even though I have checked a million times to make sure all the appropriate settings are ticked. I also occasionally find that IMs are sent to my home computer when I'm active at work (logged into the same accounts both places) or vice versa. These problems might be related? Lastly, when I dock the Pidgin window (in Windows Vista), close Pidgin, then open Pidgin again, it is still docked, but the Pidgin window border does not change to its "docked" state. |
|
|
| control-u should (optionally) delete to beginning of the line instead of toggling underline. I liked the status control better in the menus than at the bottom of the buddy list. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Voice clips |
|
|
|
|
| Maybe an option to sort all buddies as one group without having to manually delete all groups (sorry if it's there, just looked and can't find it). I don't find groups as useful as I once thought they would be, but I sorting by status over all buddies seems more appropriate. |
| better way of retyping password (i don't let pidgin to memorize it) when the first connection failed due to a wrong typed password. (Sorry but english is not my native language) |

| plugins usage help and better descriptions |
| Two things: 1) Formatting text in the entry dialog causes ALL text to be formatted (e.g. can't Ctrl+B and start boldface--it makes it ALL boldface). It'd be great if the formatting in the editor worked like it does in other more normal interfaces (OpenOffice). 2) Support for storing/sending animated emoticons. |
|
| On disconnect/reconnect, any pending new mail notifications get double-counted. A better interface for choosing options, especially default fonts, would be very nice. |
|
| a better GUI or at least skin |
| There are some bugs with mail checking for Gmail. Pidgin often reports that I have twice the number of messages that I actually have, or reports that I have 1 message when I actually have zero. There are also some problems with idle detection (Google Talk). |
|
|
| I really, really did not like when the chat input area was changed to be automatically sized. Now that you can change the minimum height in the options the problem is somewhat better (I like a big box). However, I would really prefer to be able to manually resize it. |
|
|
|
| The sounds that come as default are horrible, I can barely hear them over general background noise without headphones or a loud volume. I much prefer the sounds from the last version of Gaim. Also, the away time of my buddies does not update automatically in the list window, I have to highlight their name to get the new time to show up. |
|
| No |

|
| In MSN networks messages fairly frequently fail to reach the recipient, and less frequently they reach the recipient, but I receive the "message failed" warning anyway... It's rather annoying. Supporting encrypted chat would be good... but the only people I could use it with would be the other linux geeks. But other than that I absolutely love pidgin - well done to all of you for creating a credible suits everything open source IM app! |
| * can't disable groups (sometimes, it's useful to see all users in one big group) * when i switch offline why does it ask me for status message? * xmpp buddies with multiple resources always have the status of the first resource .. but i think they should have the status of the most available resource * icq file transfer sometimes crashes pidgin (but it's in like 10% of the cases) |
|
| Beyond the above problem mentioned, I cannot find a simple thing to find faults in. |
|
| A setting in the default install that allows Pidgin to start hidden. Now I currently use ExtPrefs to do that. |
|
|
| Now Playing and file sending support for Google Talk. |
| The goddamn popup in the buddy list can't be disabled. And the info in it ("last seen...", etc) should be available somehow else. I am one of those weird people who like the buddy list maximized. The problem is that after Pidgin is restarted, it doesn't "remember" this well, and i have to first restore and the maximize the buddy list. The spellcheck's language can't be changed "on the fly". |
|

|
|
| problems with msn are boring. when sending message to an away msn contact, I often have error messages. But, i guess msn sux :)) |

| Make Pidgin more responsive. Redesign configuration options. Include more plugins in Windows redistributable package. Improve stability and GG Protocol support. Concentrate more on Windows support, please ;] |
|
|
|
| I don't think you do it... haven't checked for plugins or anything, but it would be need to post updates to twitter (and other similar services) from Pidgin. |

|
|
| Auto-hide of off-line contacts within the window, so you can disable them in the configuration but still get to them if you really need to. Auto-hide the application (docked)? It is a regular window for me on Linux and usually in the way. I have quite a few buddies with multiple accounts, and the client should intelligently group those rather than making it a two step process: create buddy, then move buddy under the account that I already have. Ability to download new libraries when protocols (in particular Yahoo) changes. That way I am out down till my distribution updates things possible weeks later. IRC interface does not work well. One problem is that you have to have the window open, but I might want to be on a channel and not follow the chatter. The configuration, double port entry, was somewhat strange for xmpp (google talk). Easy way script a bot via any of the protocols support etc. |

|
|
| - Better support for jabber - services discovery, transport registration etc. - Let's say I have custom status, different for some accounts, and auto-away turned on. Return from auto away works just fine and restores previous status, but only if there's no status message. With status message, it gets deleted in the process. Transfers window - it's always on top. I know, I can minimize it, but it's annoying nevertheless. |

| Not terribly enthused about the most recent icon change: paler, more bug-eyed pigeon (is it supposed to be more Vista-y transparent or what?). But I don't particularly care, either. |
|
| Themes. I don't understand why I have to use another program (gtk theme selector or something like that) to change theme, and furthermore why on earth I have to restart pidgin? Even more, where to look for themes on the web? Mission imposible. |
| I look forward to the themes that Adium supports for IMs. |
|
| Just got 2.5.3, and without fail it crashes on exit every time. None of the other version of pidgin i've used had this problem. I'm using XP SP3 |
| Yes, In WLM, you can active icons, and desactive custom icons. In pidgin you can't, Or active both or desactive both. Please it`s a so simple configuration, in the menu. I want to desactivate custom icons but i don't wante to desactivate both. Windows interface is ugly and lowspeed. I think that Pidgin uses gtk for windows may be a reason. I don't know by that, and the other complains I don't use pidgin in windows. And I use emesene in Linux more than Pidgin. |

|
|
| as a long time IM user I have a LOT of buddies. But I also like my friends buddy icons to be visible. I'd like to see new ways of presenting buddies, such as: 1) Auto-hiding infrequently messaged buddies 2) Expand on mouseover, similar to the OS X dock 3) the option of separate buddy lists by protocol, similar to iChat? 4) Exciting new ideas that I'm too lame to think of. |

| There is no way to work with Pidgin without using mouse. For example, it would be great to be able to change status with some keystrokes (maybe even global ones). |
| Please re-add Ctrl+Enter send support in the configuration |
| I cannot get file transfers to ever work. Google Talk fails to connect any more. My tickets hardly ever get any support. |

| Way more plugins for the linux version of pidgen |
|
|
| When I connect to an IRC server, my hostname that shows after my nickname is always my user account name, which botheres me because that goes against my idea of privacy. I wish Pidgin could let me mask my hostname or email or everything I can. |
| General (and variable by exact version) flakiness of Win32 (spit!) version, I have to use it on Windows (spit!) boxen at work and Pidgin on Windows sucks a lot more than it does on Linux (probably because the interfaces are shite) and it's really annoying. One other thing, I'd really like the "Insert->image" menu to work in MSN and AIM chat windows, I don't use it often but it's so much easier for quick sending of images than needing to send a link to an online image. Please please fix this! |
|
|
|
| Gadu-Gadu connection. But this is probably on the gadu servs side. |
| IRC support and interface sucks. Look at ircII, irssi, and X-Chat for examples of how IRC should be done. Even Mozilla's Chatzilla is a better IRC client than Pidgin. A scripting language for the IRC client would be great too. |
|
|
| When I put my Vista Laptop to sleep and wake it back up, Pidgin usually crashes, requiring a restart |
| File transfers from Pidgin to the default AIM client and vice-versa rarely work. Better file transfer support in general would be nice. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Whenever I send messages via MSN, regardless of my settings, they always show up in MS Sans Serif. It would be nice if actual MSN users could see my formatting. Also, whenever I exit Pidgin (2.5.3, Windows XP), the Buddy List opens up and stops responding. There's an issue in the tracker about this, though. |

| Finch's utf-8 support doesn't seem to work properly on FreeBSD, no matter what I do I can't get it to display properly. I'm not sure if that's me or my setup though. |
| Window name should be changed to "Pidgin" instead of "Buddy List" |
| Several of the above improvement areas are kind of iffy, because some are already available as plugins. Facebook chat would be very cool, but is already available in a plugin. (To be fair, said plugin crashes Pidgin a fair amount.) Voice/Video chat would be lovely, but it is not a deal-breaker for me. I feel like text communication is the primary thrust of the IM idiom, and voice or video is cool, but outside of the "core." As far as "better access to plugins" it should be said that while there are a bunch of great plugins out there, they are sometimes difficult to find. I don't think that spending a great deal more time developing plugins would be useful, but a better way to locate the ones that are out there would be pretty nice. Pop-up notifications are indeed important to me, but they are also already available in guifications. This plugin feels quite stable and mature, and therefore do not feel like significant developer time needs to be thrown at this issue. |
|
|
|
| Better transfer of entire folder, e.g. automatically zip the folder instead of just erring out. |
| The IM client freezes on quit. |
| ICQ away reasons do not work properly. |
|

|
| Resizeable textbox for messages. |

| I would like to see support for special fonts such as Webdings/Dingbats implemented. Also appreciated would be support for ALT+0000 characters, such as é Æ ™ and so on... Simple text formatting in the IM window would be great, as well. As it currently stands, the button menu for making a highlighted selection of words bold with red color and two times bigger size is just too slow to bother with. AIM's 5.0 series had a great system with individual small buttons dedicated to font, foreground color, background color, size down, size up, bold/italic/underline all in the bar above the typing box. |
| Big passwords in msn doesn't working :\ |
|
|
| I wish that the program could be running longer without closing unexpectedly (usually the very use of hibernation windows instead of turning off the computer) |
| It used to crash a lot more, but the current version seems stable enough. My friends using Windows say it's less stable. |
| The login box should be integrated into the buddy list! |
| OTR enabled per default. |
|
| Better Polish localization, and better XMPP support. |
| Exit Crash |
|
| Away message handling is annoying... I have stopped using away messages because they aren't cleared when changing statuses. Google Talk pops up new chat windows even though the option to hide all new chats is set. Please, please, please make GUI changes that remove functionality at least optional in a configuration window somewhere. |
| I'd like to be able to initiate mutliple buddy conversations. Specifically MSN. I think logging of chat shold be enabled by default with a warning on first use. So many times i have gone back to look at a past conversation only to notice pidgin's logs were off. |
|
|
| - Sometimes pidgin crashes and closes itself on Ubuntu Intrepid - The ubuntu download does not contain any .deb but only the source which is ok for every distribution |
|
| - msn9 clients sometimes cause a random chat conversation to pop up in pidgin whereby they join the conversation twice, and you join once. they don't realise it's happening. - the little spinning indicator wheel that shows up when first logging into accounts pauses would look better if it just constantly spun until the accounts all connect/error out. |
|
|
| Chat rooms, especially with AIM users, crash all the time, and its incredibly annoying. Also my Gmail account isn't invisible when my status is set to invisible |
|

|
| Recompile on every ICQ protocol change is very unconvinient. Please find a way for better ICQ compatibility without recompiling. |
| Not until the latest build 2.5.3. It now hangs on exit and i have to kill the process. The information bar at the top of every message window should be more customizable. Maybe just support some form of skinning for the entire program. |
|
|
| It refuses to import more than 1 yahoo! buddy. (others say "not on server list") |
| buddy pounces: instead of entering buddy names manually in the input text field, should provide some kind of drop-down; entering icq numbers or cryptic ids manually is annoying |
| 2.5.3 keeps crashing on exit! |
|
|
| Under Xubuntu the "taskbar" doesnt blink or flash to show there is a new message/conversation if its not the active window. Had a quick look for this settings, cant see it. Better emoicons, we all love the MSN ones :) |
| Support for more commands like MIRC in IRC. Some just don't seem to work /command |
| It crashes in Vista 64bit when I try to close it. |
|
|
|
|
|
| - If you insert a horizontal rule in a empty input text field and hit enter (with no other text in the field) the application crashes. - Customizable statuses (with the MSN-protocol) aren't always correctly set by Pidgin in the contact list (when I add myself, I don't see my status under my (friendly) name). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Occasional crashes, MSN contact list is buggy |
| Sometimes the initial opening of a chat window takes too long (up to 5-10 seconds). |
|
|
| With 2.5.2 I have crashes every day, For example, when I click on a link always crashes. And sometimes It crashes without any interaction from me. Also I get an SSL error when I connect. I don't report them, sorry, but I don't have time and I hope it will fixed in newers versions. |
|
|
|
| Fix it so that I don't have to force kill it every time after a while on Vista. |
| A Python API to write plug-ins would be great |
|

| Nope. Maybe some minor stability issues. |

|
| Better international support for ICQ.. When I get messages in another language, it doesn't come out right. Since ICQ is mostly used by people in Europe/Asia, this is a significant issue, and caused me to actually install QiP and use that instead of Pidgin. |
|
|
|
|
| I would like to see a very minimalistic (space saving) version of the gui. |
|
| libpurple's extended status message isn't visible through ICQ. However, it works with XMPP. :) In view of that funny features providing "listening to..." extended status became useless. |

| After i just connected to a wifi network some protocols(msn) take a lot to discover the connectivity; so they stay offline a while. |
| Yes, it might be a protocol or some other things. It often takes my Yahoo account a long time to connect to its server when I change the internet connection to GPRS. My other accounts run OK so far. |

|
| A way to turn off popups when navigating the buddy list. Cleaner buddy list collapse / expand / manage |
| crashes/disconnections |
| Many options only available through the context menu (especially in the buddy list), crowded menus (buddy list context menu, chat window menus). |
|
|
| When I attempt to close Pidgin, it crashes, saying that there was a connection problem... |
|
|
| Popup dialogs are incredibly annoying. I use a tiling window manager (xmonad) and dialogs don't fit well in my interface. |
|
|
| Yes, after sending a file to a friend, I can't delete it immediately after it's sent. It seems to stay in use. The official MSN client didn't do this. |
| Pidgin keeps crashing whenever I use MSN over HTTP behind my school's firewall. |
| Can't resize text input box. Auto resize is nice, but it would be nice to set the initial size, and have the auto resize go from there. |
| A simpler way to change the nickname and the message that goes below it, (I've just forgot the name), maybe in the main interface and not through menus. |
| The constant messing about with the little stuff (changing the name, making the input box resizeable, etc) and general alienation of the community should stop. Is there any reason not to keep it as an option, or available by default? Does being able to set the size of the text input box make auto-resize impossible? No. To be more brief, the size of the textbox doesn't bother me (now). The fact that it was changed for no real reason, and I had no way to change it back, bothered me. |
| When copy and pasting links on pidgin, sometimes the recepient does not receive the link and only receives a blank IM, same thing happens with text you copy and paste and send on pidgin. I've noticed this error a lot! The only workaround is "pasting unformatted text." This is very annoying and would appreciate if it was fixed. This happens when using the AIM protocol. |
|
| Strange disconnects. |
| occasional crashes when exiting on Vista Home Premium 32bit |
| I have a dual OS system, XP-SP3 and Ubuntu Linux (gnome desktop), each on their own hard drive. Sometimes I have to connect to Pidgin's Google Chat using XP, and on other days using Linux, because usually one way connects and the other way doesn't. I don't use Pidgin on the XP OS because Pidgin doesn't want to launch, so I use the Google Chat (client) on XP instead. |
|
|
| My new IMs from buddies appear in the same window as a current IM. This makes me think I have an IM from that person when it is someone else. Pop up a new window! I disconnect and reconnect because of VPN and get a stupid wait ten minutes message. |
| - Pidgin causes CPU utilization goes to 100% every now and then - I have no idea why. |
| Changing my text format shouldn't change the one I see for other people. It also should be visible to the other people. I hate stuff.... in whatever protocol I saw it. |

| - Every once in a while a buddy's name/info popup appears and won't go away until you restore the buddy window and cause a popup to show for another buddy. - It'd be nice to see plugin configuration and preferences integrated into a single preferences screen. |
|
| I'd like the sign on/off arrows to be more clearly distinguished in the Buddy List (green and red, maybe). |
| OTR should be available out-of-the-box. I also think that passwords should be encrypted in the configuration files. |
| The only thing I would like to see is that my custom chat icons not get deleted whenever I update Gaim\Pidgin. It gets to be a pain to reinstall them all the time. |

|
|
|
|
|
| It crashes sometimes... |
|
| - Pidgin 2.5.3 locks up on exit and must be closed via Task Manager. - Also MSN security settings don't work. I have my security settings set to only allow people on my buddy list to send messages but I get a bunch of random messages from spam bots still. |
|
| None so far. |
|
| I'm a software engineer, and I think code simplification is as important as bug fixes and new features. So think about simplifying things a bit. Who uses Buddy Pounces? Think about removing as much as adding. I kinda wish Ubuntu pushed updates as fast as you guys make them available, but I understand that's more their issue than yours. |
| I would like to see ticket Ticket #7849 - WinPidgin Hangs in Network Location Awareness Thread at Exit to be going in Pidgin v2.5.3. |
|
| Resizing of avatars or images is really poor in comparison to default clients, it typically leaves huge jaggies on all images that aren't perfect size. With too many emotes pressing the show emotes button crashes the client. When in a group conversation everyone is shown as an email for the username including yourself, making group conversations incredibly disorienting. the "Now Listening" feature doesn't work for your own player and relies on plugins that stop working after any update. When creating a new conversation you have to manually add each contact by typing in their name, a system more like MSN's with a checklist to who you want to add would be a much better feature. |

| The cyrrilic encoding (Russian in particular) in ICQ is a problem sometimes. - It doesnt work properly with some third party clients. It might be obviously their fault, not yours, but they usually interact between each other and with AIM ICQ mother program without any problems. Particularly there are problems with www.qip.org. - The cyrillic also fails to be read sometimes, when you are offline, and they send you messages, and you recieve them only after you come online. I couldnt figure out the client dependancy or any other trends for this case. It just happens sometimes :-) |
| There is a lot of unused space on gui, and confusing option dialogs. |

|
| Most recent update 2.5.3 for windows has been crashing. No problems with previous version. |
| Idle support for IRC, even if it means polling due to protocol design. |
|
| I miss some (optional) notification on the connection status popping up whenever you get disconnected from a network. |

| Maybe a little bit more of documentation for plugin makers could be helpful. I have maintained for some time a protocol plugin (called Netsoul for an internal chat at my school EPITA), and starting the project was kind of hard. |
|
| afaik not really a pidgin problem: not being able to select a status message using the keyboard only on windows. |
|
|
|
|
| The Yahoo protocol support is quirky, it works at certain times and doesn't work other times for inexplicable reasons (switching to Yahoo Japan doesn't fix the issue). I know this probably involves reverse engineering the Yahoo IM protocol (in case its not some Jabber compliant stuff) and is not as easy as it sounds but still, I would like to see flawless protocol support for Yahoo. |
|
|
| File transfer speed |

|
| If i have my passwords saved and the client is set to connect at startup, i can't change the "Available/Invisible" option except by editing the .xml (if i need to sing in invisible at one moment). |
|
| only that it's a GTK app and thus doesn't blend in as well with enlightenment 17 as EFL apps do. Don't see this happening for obvious reasons. |
|
| Chat input on Windows is incredibly fickle, with font characteristics randomly changing without any reason. It's completely baffling to me that, without any change in the appearance of my text, people will spontaneously remark "stop yelling" "why is your text bigger" "you changed fonts" etc. There's no reason whatsoever the text box should not be WYSIWYG. Let me spell it out: What You See Is What You Get. If Pidgin is getting something other than what I see, it's not WYSIWYG. I don't know how this is so messed up on Windows. |
| I've been using Pidgin for a while now and I think it's the best client to use BUT it keeps crashing. 2.5.2 disconnected randomly and I had these certificate errors(Yes, that has been fixed in 2.5.3). I got 2.5.3 yesterday and every time I try to close Pidgin it crashes. When I try to open conversation windows again Pidgin gets a bit slow and doesn't show the window instantly(2.5.2, not sure if it's still there in 2.5.3, haven't noticed yet). Haven't checked 2.5.3, but IRC commands didn't work in 2.5.2. |
|
| perhaps "extended status" for ICQ |
| There's a problem with opening yahoo mails. Whenever I get notified of new mails, if I click on the "open all mails" or "open inbox", it doesn't correctly login and i'll have to relogin into the yahoo page to see my inbox. Also scrap notifications for orkut (google chat / jabber) do not seem to work. They worked previously about an year back. |
|
|
|
| the occasional crashes, sometimes loss of "always on top" |
|
|
|
| In Linux-version sound notification doesn't always work (Kubuntu, KDE 4.2). This might be because sound resources are reserved for another program/process, but even if it was so there should be an option to see at least a clear visual notification of an incoming chat message. It's rather annoying that several messages pass by unnoticed every now and then because of this. Another thing: sometimes Pidgin just closes abruptly. No error message, nothing. It just closes. Most of the time it runs flawlessly, though. |

Why are smilies not configurable per buddy (ICQ6-Buddy -> ICQ6-Icons, Trillian-Buddy -> Trillian-Icons)? I know, there are copyright problems, you can't delivere the original trillian-icons for instance, but that's not your problem if i can say to pidgin: for buddy foo use smilie-theme foobar. |

| msn protocol: let people set their friendly name in the Modify Account dialog!! This would make more clear that local alias and friendly name are different things. Cumulative mail notifications: (bug #4504 ? ) if I lose the connection and then reconnect, every still unread message is counted twice.. Personally, I was forced to deactivate mail notifications on my gmail account... (think what happens if I suspend/resume 3 - 4 times.....) I think mail management is not so satisfactory in general. |

| From the early days of Gaim, I've always had issues with file transfers and the issues are never consistant. Sometimes I can send/receive a file to/from a person, sometimes I can't. It doesn't seem to have any correlation to what chat client the other user is using. |
| The MusicTracker plugin often makes Pidgin crash; though I'm not sure if that's the official devs' responsibility. |
| sometimes I feel it looses features with updates. I strongly disagree with this simplicity movement in gnome-related apps that config options disappear, and advanced users forced easy-to-understand but non-productive environments. |
|
| The UI for file transfers really needs some work - the number of times I miss a transfer because the dialog has popped up underneath something else due to the window manager stopping it stealing focus - and if I turn off focus stealing, I tend to be typing and end up typing into the dialog and rejecting by default and never really knowing what's going on. Microsoft solved this problem to my satisfaction years ago - something inline in the chat window would be fantastic, perhaps some sort of infobar or a thing embedded in the conversation itself. Anything that's not a popup window, really. |

I would like to see my default formatting, unless the formatting of the text overloads it. Also, if the client can't support long messages, I would like pidgin to rip appart the message into smaller ones so they can be sent instead of an error warning. |

| buddy group reorganization is a mess |
|
|
| Realizing that it is currently developed as a separate plugin, it would be nice if GUIfications (or similar functionality) were more performant, configurably, and pleasing to the eye. It would also be nice if buddy pounce notifications were a little less obtrusive. What would really be nice would be some kind of log window to keep track of pounce notifications as well as messages received while away in a central location (I think the AIM client had something like this as of version 5). |
| Clicking on the picture next to the status drop-down menu in Windows has no effect on my MSN user picture. Under Windows, the MSN user picture has to be changed from Accounts -> (name of account) -> Edit Account, which is unbelievably complicated if you are used to switching it often. Changing the little picture next to the status drop-down seems to work just fine under Linux though. |

|
| Too often latest release are unstable with very annoying bug (raw crashes etc). Maybe you should improve the testing. The software is taking too many ressources (15MB of memory for 10 buddies... is it really needed?) Under windows it is often slow (when something is blinking everything is slow down). |
|
| There is a great need for better performance with respect to handling IRC. The IRC handling is bad since many a times the freenode and the nickserv windows don't pop up and this causes a lot of problems in logging onto channels. |
|
|
| I often get "frozen" and need to "end process" and reconnect pidgin... this happens if I stay connected for more then 3 or 4 hours, without chatting... It has also happened while chating. It's under Windows XP that this happens... |

| 1) It would be nice if the Help->About dialog was tabbed with the current information on one tab and additional release/change information on another (as per the web site). 2) It would be good if there was a notification in the status area if another version of pidgin was available, Maybe even auto-update? 3) It would be good if your buddy icon enlarged into a tooltip when your mouse hovered over it like your buddies. This way you could see what your buddies could. 4) The available status 'green' spot isn't great, I vaguely remember the gaim one being better; though for the life of me can't remember what it was? I think it boils down to too many circular statuses, Basing status on colour breaks HCI design rules. Maybe make it a tick? The 'invisible' and 'offline' colours are also very similiar making them hard to differentiate. |

| YES! the friggen cry smiley has NOT worked in the many years of my use of pidgin. to any client, period, other than pidgin, the insertion of the cry smiley by clicking from the smile window, results in garbled text somewhere along the lines of ;aops: ... a serious annoyance to me! i have to type it manually every day! check the tickets! i think there has been one open for well over a year and its not fixed other buddy icon issues as well.. i choose not to use a buddy icon cause pidgin f's it up the combining of buddy lists... if i use two names, it will load both buddy lists. if i delete one name from pidgin, the empty groups still remain. it also gets annoying cause i cant tell easily which s/n belongs to which account. id much rather have the buddy lists seperated by s/n. i opt to only use one account through pidgin because of this. |

| There should be a google-talk preset in accounts. I know that it uses XMMP(I think average user doesn't, btw), but still EVERY time I install pidgin, I have to google the setting for google talk. Damn annoying! I don't understand why it isn't there, really. If it is a matter of principle ("It's not google, it's XMMP"), you are punishing those who DO you use good and existing standard and rewarding other protocols that don't. That's all I can think of really :-) |

|
| Instability when chatting with a user of web-MSN (seems somewhat fixed in latest updates, but I'm not sure and wanted to let it out because it was buggy for a very long time). |
| With the 2.5.3 version, pidgin crash when I quit it. |
| Support for MSN strange names, for example: Nickname: [b][c=4]•.?l?.•[/c] [c=13]Luca[/c=12] [23-10-08: Io & Te(L)] [c=4]•.?l?.•[/c][/b] |
| Sometimes, after I paste some text, my font size gets messed up (smaller) and I have to Reset Formatting to get it back. I'd rather have it reset automatically between messages (most of the time?). |
|
|
|
| Auto-update while Pidgin is on (not an additional always-on service, but a notification of available updates at least) |
| At the moment 2.5.3 keeps hanging whenever I try to exit... |
| AIM file transfer has gotten better (it occasionally works, rather than never working), but was still pretty flaky the last time I tried it. This may or may not have improved very recently. |

| -the status drop-down in the buddy list seems unnecessarily big -the log viewer's performance seems to degrade faster than linearly with a large quantity of logs. (i'm not certain of this one; it was behaving really poorly until i recently deleted ~/.purple and ~/.gaim and now it seems fine) |

| yes, a better management of status of the various accounts; a better management of personal message and personal avatar, like emesene; in the past pidgin (gaim) was a very lightweight im; a full interaction on libnotify popups (clickin' on show button) and on window email |

|
| Pidgin won't close on Windows shutdown or when I manually close it, and must hit the "end now" option. Also, sending files rarely works, or is incredibly slow. |
|
|
| It would be nice to be able to send files to other non-pidgin users over AIM. |
|
|
| It seems Pidgin crashes a lot. |
| In the latest version of Pidgin (2.5.3), in Vista, whenever I attempt to close the application, it locks up and uses a lot of memory. In IRC chat, in the window that gives the list of users in a chat room, next to each users' name it has specific symbols for owners, ops, half-ops, and voices, but not for super ops or anyone on the aop aor sop lists (basically anyone that has +a mode activated on them), and in fact, when you first log into the room, anyone that has +a on will have no symbol at all next to their name, which is misleading. |
|
|
| My biggest annoyance is that Pidgin crashes pretty frequently, usually when I go to check a new message when the window has been minimized. Usually the window will restore, but the chat area will be totally empty and unresponsive, and I have to kill the process and restart Pidgin. |
|
|
|
|
| I'm sure that "GTK is a tragedy on Windows" can hardly be classified as a minor issue, but that's the one thing that I hate in Pidgin. I can live with the non-native widgets, but at least give me proper text input on US-Intl keyboard layouts ('+c = ç doesn't work unless I switch to cedilla, and then stuff like '+s becomes ? instead of 's, and '+t doesn't work at all) |
| I know that Google Talk uses the Jabber network, but it would be nice if Pidgin indeed used the GT protocol icon instead of switching to XMPP/Jabber after you close the account manager dialog. |
| More gtk options to customize contacs list with a simple gtkrc. |
|
|
|
| Can't login in windows sometimes. The client freezes. |
| when clicking to expand or collapse buddy groups the buddy list usually suddenly scrolls up to near the top and i can't see what i've just expanded or collapsed. Ogg Vorbis sounds don't seem to work properly with "automatic", "ESD" or "Alsa" sound methods and so i have to type "ogg123 %s" in the sound command box. i like it to automatically change my status to idle when i'm away for a few minutes, but i /don't/ want it to change my status message to "I'm not here just now" or whatever it is. that should be editable, with the option to not change it at all. |

| MAJOR: - I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium x86 with SP1. When quitting, Pidgin hangs up at most of the times and I have to kill the process. MINOR: - I'm annoyed by the fact some originally existing folders are being re-created after I have deleted them (I prefer to keep my own folders order) - Pidgin sometimes disconnects for no obvious reason and I have to re-connect (I can still browse the Internet) |

|
|
| The graphics kind of white out sometimes, after the buddy list becomes idle after a while. |
| I get signed in when I leave it running as offline. I think the music tracker plug-in has something to do with this. |
| Better theme integration with QT/KDE but this really isn't your issue. |
|
| Would like to see a better interface for saved status messages. |
| When typing while the buddy list is selected, the find menu comes up. This is annoying because a click elsewhere will not make it go away, only the escape key does, and then it takes several seconds. |
|
| For when I close Pidgin 2.5.3, it sticks in memory and I have to close it via Task Manager, I would like that problem fixed |
| When this is on for a few days.. it becomes bloated. I have to shut it off then back on again. |
| Yes: better GUI. |
| The way you change your nicknames it's a little too complicated. The sending files window is awful, in usability and in aesthetic terms. |
| Would be nice to see some more emoticon options. The list of default smileys is very small. Most IM clients have a fairly extensive list of emoticons that can be inserted into a chat ranging from the traditional smile to cheers (beer image) to various other actions, emotions, objects. |
|
| What the heck is the "You feel a disturbance in the force" that pops up every once in a while? |

| -- Pidgin 2.5.3 freezes when i click quit from the Buddies menu or from the statusbar. The process remains and leave window "debris" on the desktop until it is force quit. -- problems "New email" 'page'. it sends to Internet explorer, even though firefox is the default client on my computer. |
|
|
| I haven't upgraded from 2.3.1 despite the stability upgrades I'd like to have because of the change in buddy typing notification. I was perfectly fine with the green name and little typing icon along the top; the change to include line space and "so-and-so is typing" text was annoying enough for me to stick with a lower version. If future versions include an option to set this preference, I'd love it! |
|
|
|
| 2.5.3 appears to crash upon quitting in Windows XP |
|
| yes everything i shut pidgin down it stops responding |
| Sometimes Pidgin crashes due to a segmentation fault. Not really a big issue, but it occurs enough to be noteworthy. |
| For some reason when I quit out of Pidgin 2.5 by right clicking the tray icon, the Pidgin friends list goes white and it freezes up. From there I force close it. |
|
|
| My Pidgin freezes up when exiting the program on windows XP. Have to end task it. Only started in 2.5.3. |
|
|
|
| My preferred UI would be one of two things: either (a) a single window for all my accounts, but being able to separate friends lists by account, even for accounts with the same protocol ... so "Yahoo/username_1" is a different list than "Yahoo/username_2". Pidgin, Digby, etc, lump all "Yahoo" with each other; my (b) UI would have each account on a separate tab, so the "Yahoo_username_1" tab would have its friends, "Yahoo_username_2" tab would have a separate friends list, etc. Thanks for the great work! |
|
| The Chat Window input box (that is not proportional) that cannot be re-sized. |
|
|
|
|
|
| It needs to be easier to create and invite chats with one than one person in the same window. You know, party chats, rather than one-on-one. Also, Pidgin might want to start their own chatroom list. Currently, only Yahoo's chatroom list works. And there seems to be a weird quirk with how a Google Talk/Gmail Talk account is set up. It always defaults to /Home though there is no /Home directory and its oddly based on Jabber/XMPP. It works okay, but its confusing. |
|
|
| People search feature for ICQ. |
|
| 1.) 2.5.3. freezes for few seconds on both of my computers when exiting the application, I belive somebody already reported it. 2.) sametime protokocol does not allow to send/receive pictures on pidgin 3.) sametime conference doesn't work beetwen pidgin and default sametime client 4.) searching in logs is a bit slow - but I can live with it :) |

|
| 2.5.3 crashes when closed. (XP32). earlier versions ok |
| Improve file transfer with msn |
|
| I'd like to see the "reset formatting" button restored to being an actual BUTTON, as opposed to an option under the new Fonts menu. Fast access to this feature is important to the process of composing messages. Though it doesn't bother me, personally, many of my correspondents have expressed irritation at the removal of a "Send" button. A configuration option should be created to select whether or not to display a "Send" button. A configuration option should be (re-)created to allow the user to choose whether the program sends a message on "Enter", "Ctrl-Enter," or some custom send keystroke. I understand that this is now a GTK option. As a Windows user, having exactly zero GTK documentation at my disposal and lacking a REAL GTK installation, GTK options are less than useless as far as I'm concerned. Load time (from icon click to display of password prompt) is excessively long. My CPU executes over two BILLION instructions per second. If MIPS were dollars, that would be enough to keep GM in business for two whole months at their present loss rate. What''s Pidgin DOING with all that time? Unless a fully functional Chevy Volt pops out of my CD drive in the next year, the load times are unacceptably long. |
|
|
|
| Sometimes it crashes, but I think that it depends from my plugins (OTR especially). Without 3rd party plugins, it works good. I think that is important to include a default plugin to encrypt. |
|
| Nope, it seems to be all good for me. |

| Resizeable chat input box. |
| The scrollbar should not display until there is more text than can fit in the window. embedding everything inside a GtkNotebook feels really huge and clunky. Is it possible to get a small tab-strip like in Firefox or gvim, instead? |

|
| A minor annoyance is that I miss using the Y!M smilies in chat like GAIM used to do... the ones you provide are cute but don't include all the Y!M ones and some of my favorites either are missing or difficult to interpret. Animation is not important. |
| input text in the chat window is not resizable, sigh! I (personally) like to resize my chat window, sometimes i neeed more *visual* space =/ |
| Just a little thing, maybe a way to hide a conversation when you leave the computer so passers by cant read your conversation, closing the window isnt good enough since the person you are talking to might reply when you are away. (I LIVE WITH CRAZY PEOPLE AND DONT WANT THEM SEEING WHAT I DO EVER-EVER, (MAYBE IM CRAZY, (CHEESE))) |

| I find that I get disconnected from an account too often (not one specific one, but one at a time)... I don't know in how far this is fixable but I find that in other programs I get disconnected less. |

| Moving the mouse pointer over a buddy in the Buddy List displays an info box about the buddy, this blocks my view of other buddies in the list. This requires some extra effort on my part to find an select the buddy I want to type at. Maybe I just have not found a way to turn this off. However, the information is useful so just turning it off is not ideal. It would be nice if the info box was not blocking my view of the Buddy List. Maybe have it display at the top bottom or side of the Buddy List, which users may toggle on/off. Maybe this would just clutter things up. I just know the current implementation is a constant annoyance for me. |

| being able to hide the status selection list at the bottom of the buddy list. as it is now, i move the buddy list window down to hide the menu below the start bar in windows. but the window moves when it wants so i find myself doing that several times a day. also, and i know you probably dont want to hear this, but you could take another queue from adium and make the status light on the open chat tabs also the close button, rather than having the light and the close "x". |
| Pidgin is a grate multiprotocol chat client, but it only supports the basics. It would be cool, if it would support more than the basics, like all the features IRC More plugin supports, or all the Windows Live Messenger features like coloured nicks, and personal messages. |
| I used Pidgin some time ago (now using Miranda, OpenSource Messenger for Windows) and I had the problem, that I could not send a folder with subfolders in it. And if you had to send a lot of files (for example for a presentation at School) you had to zip it first and then send it. And if you have a lot of files (>2gb) with subfolders in it and you want to send it to someone in your local area network via icq protocol (goes really fast then), you had to zip it first, what took a lot of time. |

| There is high disk usage (syncing) whenever I receive an IM. Sometimes it's not an issue, but sometimes it locks up Pidgin for 5 minutes. This only happens when I am having a conversation with someone added to my buddy list. |
| Make it easier to be able to tell that you can make a metacontact. It confused the hell out of me the first time. |
|
|
|
| Yes, a way to shut off the " is typing." Feature. I already know they're typing, because their name went green when they started typing. That's enough. As it is, the text all scrolls up, which if I'm not watching the window carefullly, might make me think they have actaully SENT something when they're merely typing it. |
| Better sync of new buddies. MSN always tells me its not saving server side for new contacts. |

| I would like to see better access and design for the font faces and colours. It is hard to find. Also, can we please have a more defined MSN secondary status window? Nothing visually changed with the protocol was added, so it doesn't... I dunno... *feel* like anything is new or different or works better. It would be nice to have access to that title on its own. Also, return the user icons to their proper size in chat. I know we can enlarge it, but they're still very tiny. |

|
|
| I have formatting toolbar disabled, however I would like to see a version instead of a toolbar, a "sidebar" in the text input area with just smileys as that would take up less screen space, and i could still access the smileys pop up. Skins would be nice, at least just the ability to have a background in the buddy list would be a big bonus :) Support for multiple smiley themes would be awsm! A priority order so you can set which ones will have priority if there are matching smileys. It would be good if single clicking on the pidgin systray icon brought pidgin to the front of all windows, this would save having to minimize it, then maximize it again to access it. |
|
|
|
| Better performace while using many smilies |
|
| Writing a status line for invisible and offline states does seem a bit useless. |
|
| Pidgin commonly crashes on me, so much that at one point, I switched from v2.5.2 back to v2.4.3 for about 4 months. Pidgin also does not exit properly, always "not responding" in Vista when I try to exit out. |
| Send data with ICQ |
| A better default UI theme on Windows. Perhaps a customized GTK+ theme tuned for pidgin? |
|
|
|
| Nope |
|
|
| MSN Plus! name colors support... or at least something that removes BBcode from names. Either way, an eye sore would be eliminated. |
|
|
|
| Slightly less memmory usage would be awesome (but that might just be me with 8-9 accounts open) Allowing people on other clients (ex: MSN messenger) to see the emoticons we're using |
| The upgrade process is pretty clunky. Pidgin should be able to fetch the installer itself, and let me know when it's ready to upgrade, not just point me to a website to download a file, shut down Pidgin, run the new installer, and restart. Too much of a pain with frequent updates, especially considering Pidgin is a net-facing app and therefore must be kept up to date for security reasons! |
|
|
|
| In the message window I'd like to see some more customization options available - easier to drag around/resize/eliminate things. I'd like to see more prominent docking options. I'd also like to see my 'status message' correctly applied to MSN |
| no but I do have this proxy issue at work and can't connect to my gmail account via Pidgin. I CAN connect with the google talk client on the same PC so it is driving me nuts to find the setting. On my personal PC have no problems using Pidgin for my many accounts |
| why the hell pidgin crashes and I have to restart the program whenever I attempt to install any unofficial plugins. |
| The minor things are notifications of people going online/offline but I'm sure there is a plugin available or desktop integration issue here (ie - not specifically pidgin). Sometimes the audio alerts don't seem consistent but again I have to check my configuration (ie - I don't seem to hear when new conversations are started) |
| The system tray menu doesn't behave correctly. It doesn't dismiss itself whenever it loses focus. |
|
|
|
| its stops responding sometimes and makes system slow... |
| I find when I get disconnected from msn, it sometimes shows me that I'm online, and everyone else would see I'm offline. If I try to send messages it then tells me I'm offline. I have to set status to offline and back to online for it to work. |
| Pidgin keeps on freezing! Moving of groups, deleting of groups do not work on Pidgin - they get deleted, but then returns after a while - never gets saved Images sent via Direct IM does not show up Box does not go away after user finishes typing on the contact list (for finding contacts) (e.g. User types Jamie to filter contact names with Jamie, tries to double contact, but does not work, since the text box is still there - user must press ESC before the contact becomes clickable) |
| More strict release process (beta, rc, tree freeze etc...). |
|
| The file transfer between machines that are behind firewalls reports that it works when it does not. Support for the DING or wake up sound (Yahoo comes to mind...) Very often, the GTalk certificate is not recognized as being valid. |
|

| I'd like to see something done about passwords being in plain text, maybe a master password to unlock all the passwords like Firefox has. |
| Version 2.5.3 crashes when I try to sign out. Never had such problem with Version 2.5.2. Some MSN ID's are online even if they are actually not. |
| Yes. When Pidgin is first installed it's default to show only online buddies which is annoying because I like to be able to see offline buddies as well since I actually need to send them messages every now and then regardless if their online or offline. Another thing which "annoys" me is that once I set Pidgin to show offline buddies as well as online It is set to show online buddies all over the place, what I mean by this is that I might have a few buddies from one group spread all over the place - and with a fairly long list of friends/clients it can be somewhat annoying having to scroll through the friends. This is easy to change however so I don't really mind but maybe you could consider making it the default 'organization' of friends when you set pidgin to show both online and offline buddies. The ability to change the size of the text box would be a plus too I guess, not that I would change it since It's what I'm use to but It just seems kind of like something that should come standard, maybe If I was typing out a really long message or something It would come in handy, who knows.... |

| It's most likely already known, but Pidgin 2.5.3 keeps on crashing on exit, on Windows.

| transporting buddies groupings across multiple computers : When buddies are using several protocols (for example : I have classmates that I can see on Google Talk, MSN and Facebook [ through the plugin on Google Code ] ), and when the pidgin user chooses to group the accounts of the same name buddy, it would be nice to have an elegant way to transport this grouping from the laptop to the desktop (besides stupidly copying the corresponding xml file). |

| I think the icq protocol is not so good integrated in pidgin. for example it is not possible to read n/a messages from qip users. i know that it could be a problem from the specific qip protocol and not from pidgin. |
| When IRC is running and sound notifications are activated Pidgin starts an incredible amount of processes. Whenever a sound is played Pidgin starts the process but forgets to kill this process after the sound finished playing. |
|
| ICQ protocol needs improvement. Also, there are still some GTK bugs (collapsing buddy list, etc.). |

| builtin skype support, even if it requires skype to use it http://eion.robbmob.com/ |
| It is annoying when a guest wants to temporarily sign into their IM account, they have to set-up their account and such. |
| Simple integration between Pidgin and Thunderbird. Even the integration with evolution worked very badly for me |
| not important, but the introduction of an alternative, very unique (i.e. significantly different/innovative in comparison to other IMs) UI would be a nice touch for the long term |
|
|
|
| Better possible to switch fast between online and offline buddys Birthdayreminder should work ... |
| More stable data-transfer between pidgin and native icq-clients. Or: More detailed ErrorMessages about the crashes. |
|
| I'd like to see XFire support. At least text, but voice would be nice too. |
|
| Option to disable user-defined smiles in MSN chat sessions |
|
| Would like really working away-messages |
|
|
|
| I'd like to have more options for sorting the buddy list, for example I want to be able to see all online buddies on top of the WHOLE buddy list, not just on top of the buddies of one protocol, so I can see easier who's online. Normally I see my online ICQ buddies on top, and then I have to scroll all the way down to my MSN buddies to see who's online there. THAT would be a real improvement for me! Just in case I didn't miss that option somewhere... |

| contact list: some time ago a new contact list category "Waisen" appeared. i think its meaning is "people who where not online for a long time". the thing is: these people are online and now they appear twice in the contact list: in their source category and also in the category "waisen". |

| It seems like Pidgin is often unaware of the fact that I'm off-line. It's weird to have the tray icon show all-green when the computer is completely disconnected. |
|
|
| 1) Frequent crashes with Pidgin-MSN, especially with animated smileys since 2.4.0 days have not been fixed. Usually takes ~30-1 hr or a very active conversation to trigger the crash. 2) 2.5.3 crashes and refuses to shutdown upon closure. |

| I'd REALLY like to see better support for IRC on the GameSurge network. Even with all the extra plugins, I cannot get the "Preform" to work correctly. Look at what mIRC does, and implement that so I can stop using mIRC. |
|
|
|
|
| more stable plugins |
|
|
|
|
| Not 100% stable. A lot of problems with buddy groups in ICQ (while dragging them to another group the buddy can go totaly lost) - and was not able to delete groups ... No offline access to the buddy list (e.g. to read chat logs, yes, i know there are other ways to do that) And (ICQ and maybe others), its always annoying that its not possible to send more than one files with a singe command, always have to do every file singel or pack them in an archive. And more annoying for other users who wants to send you a lot of files at one time (always explaining: ohh sorry, my client is not able to recieve that...please pack it in an archive) - looks for me that this is not an protokoll problem. |
| nicer status icons |
| Fix ICQ invisibility status with a whitelist. |
| I liked the ability to size the "input" box. That ability was taken away and there is no option to enable it. (Yes, there is Funpidgin. But, it was much too difficult to keep up-to-date at the time of the change. Therefore, I reluctantly stayed with Pidgin.) |

| Better MSN support on Yahoo accounts. |
|
|
| Custom ICQ status messages should be readable for buddies |
|
|
| In first, reduce the memory usage: around 150M in my F10 (i386) box sucks. In second, I've using ICQ and sometimes typing notifications never stops, therefore my buddies asks me what I'm writing during hour of time. In third, sometimes Pidgin falls down (2.5.x branch, but I've not updated to 2.5.3 release, it will be soon). |

| Faster updates for the protocols |
|
| ICQ status messages are not working for me. |
| I would like to see more of the standard smileys included in pidgin as the default for the protocol. |
|
|
| In version 2.5.3 my pidgin always hung up, when I want to quit it! This sucks a little bit. Further there exists a problem with the status-bar = some profiles will saved there without registration in the register "saved status" => I can't delete them there. I always must debug in the "status" xml-document. |
| Status messages saving and the status menu on the main window is a bit buggy. File transfer notifications should appear on chat windows, but not in the middle of the chat. Maybe using a notification similar to the one for new buddies on the main window. Depending on one's window manager settings, it's common for file transfer notifications to get lost. |
|
|
|
| a better finch support for "dateiuebertragungen" (i don't know the english word) and a support to receive statusmessages in the console... (as for example "mocp -Q %title" to see the title of the played song in a terminal) i hope you can understand this... |
| Buddys sometimes aren't in the List or i just see their ICQ number |
| I dont lile this feature in irc: If I type " /command", pidgin just shows me "/command" without the space. Its a nice idea, but i think it should be an optional feature. |
|

|
|
| - The trayicon for new messages is wrong, it shows a smiley. - Chat windows don't get properly highlighted when using cairo-dock (under linux) |
| latest version crashes everytime you try and exit :( |
| Sometimes when I minimize Pidgin it still won't let other windows take up the space where Pidgin used to be - not sure if that's a Pidgin problem or an OS problem, though |

| When network was not up right after booting up pidgin takes a long time to log in on the accounts. I have to accept self signed certificates all the time again and again. I miss an option to permanently accept such certificates. I can't get MSN animations to stop showing up and replacing the text the person sent. Soooo annoying, I just want to have the plain text, please. And sometimes HTML code doesn't get filtered so it's in the logs and also the text sent by the person shows up formatted their way what I don't want to happen either. |

| The application has not once closed without crashing shut. It doesn't really bother me because I want to close the app anyway, but I do wonder if it has any knock-on effects on my pc that I am not aware of |
| IRC usage usability could be improved (at least for people who havent spent their whole live in IRC before using pidgin) _Reduce_complexity_ and make using it a straightforward experience for all users. Compared to empathy, pidgin is quite complicated already. At the moment I use either pidgin or empathy, which I like for its slick touch&feel |

| The latest release of Pidgin (as of 1/1/08) freezes upon exit, although this has been addressed by a bug report. For the security of the user, it is extremely important that Pidgin encrypt ALL saved usernames and passwords. |
| the "is now typing" message is in an annoying spot |
|
|
|
|
|
| Configurable shortcuts for some options are interesting, like "Esc" key for closing windows, "Ctl+Tab" for next tab (in conversations), "Ctrl+Shift+Tab" for previous tab, and so. Some options already are present, but more options (maybe in the form of a plugin) will be very interesting, and better yet if they were configurable. |

|
| Popup notifications are one way of interacting with the user, when it comes to messages. Perhaps there are other ways communication with the user can be improved? For instance there's a disconnected message in buddy list now which I didn't even notice was there. It keeps the error messages nicely out of the way... but I didn't even notice I was disconnected, which I rather I did. |

|
| Windows XP, SP3. Dell Inspiron 1521: With the latest version 2.5.3, Pidgin seems to crash when I close it. It runs with a 40-60% CPU and the memory usage tops. This only happens when I close it. I upgraded from the previous version. I only use the plugins that come with Pidgin plus a Pidgin plugin for Snarl support (located at www.fullpat.net). |
|
|
| Sometimes it is not possible to send files to icq user and allways through xmpp/jabber to other pidgin user . |
|
|
| A better support for file transfer on MSN protocol. Actually it's REALLY SLOW. |
|
|
| I usually have my computer running for at least 12 hours a day, with Pidgin always running. During that time I usually experience about three crashes. Also, file transfers seldom work for me if I'm the sender. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Nope. |
|
|
|
|
| Going to the web to download and then install an updated client is annoying. This is especially true as notification happens on signon (i.e., I'd have to go to the web, exit, upgrade, and then restart at the time when I am MOST interested in being on NOW). As a result, I usually will wait weeks before upgrading. |
|

| I don't understand the "send to" in the menu in a multi-tab chat window. I think the name of the user next to the availability icon is redundant to the information already provided by the tab. And please, please, PLEASE give me the protocol icon back! |

| Better connect method... Pidgin doesn´t connect to MSN sometimes. |
|
| I don't like how my gmail email shows in full (and then some) when I IM someone |
| Typing notify doesn't work always (1. i do not see contacts typing which i can see using other clients - 2. some contacts see me typing, other don't, also better with other clients, e.g. kopete). Pidgin sometimes crashes on adding new ICQ contacts. |
|
|
| compatible probles with msn netwoark, crashes and acconunt customizations limited. eg: my name, my subtitle, suport to music subtitle. Poor interface, simple, but, too much. |
| MSN bugs (message not delivery etc...) |
| Current build freezes randomly, not sure of cause. |
| Situation: a window has several conversations tabs. Annoyance: when a message is received from a non focused tab, the tab doesn't change automatically. I think the tab should change automatically in certain situations, like: - the conversation window is not focused - the user is not typing a message - ... ? |
|
|
|
|
|
| Could you please implement an option for the old "user [name] is typing a message" icon? You have changed this message to appear as text in the chat window. It's the thing I really hate most about pidgin - so please let the user choose! |

| * same icons on kopete / pidgin / icq ... : http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/16047/ |
| One I can think of is that for the windows client, and maybe the linux client, when a new message comes up, and the window doesn't have focus, the box on the task bar flashes to indicate there is a new message. I've noticed that after several flashes it just stops flashing. This has caused me to miss reading some messages for a good amount of time. Also when using the sametime protocol on a windows client, pidgin tends to crash when using the sametime chat rooms. No problem with regular one on one chats, but when you create a chat room, it tends to crash. |

| - When my contacts use those animated emoticones, they sometimes take a lot of time to load, and sometimes the tooltip over them show up at the second or third mouse over. Also those take a lot of cpu on older machines. - On windows, sometimes it crashes randomly and (doesn't know if this is windows or pidgin specific or something else) unicode characters doesn't display correctly. - Sometimes when I change my display picture people still sees the old picture. - On msn protocol, you cannot talk with people in invisible mode unless they start talking to you. If there's a time interval of some minutes when you don't IM the other person, then pidgin says the other person is not connected, but that's not always true. |

|
|
| Better interface for IRC (hide chat rooms without exit, no NickServ msgs in chat windows...) |

| From time to time Pidgin starts to freeze and eat up several 100s of MBs of RAM while updating the Sametime buddy list. |
|
| Better Multiscreen support (with Compiz Fusion on NVIDIA cards) |
| - the MSN custom smileys dialog have to open faster, it took about one and a half minute to open each time I have to do it in my computer - plase, back with the protocol icons... that was one of the things that i mostly miss since the 2.0 version (the first "pidgin" release) - change "XMPP/Jabber" to only jabber, almost nobody says "XMPP", and the first time a looked for the jabber option to put my jabber account i took some time to notice the "/Jabber" |
|
| Keeping Privacy Options Stored after Restart/Reboot for Invisabily |
| An easy way to distinguish what account a buddy is added to. I.E. two AIM accounts have the same buddy, set a default IM or prompt when a new window is opened to that person would be hugely useful Pidgin support for MSN custom emoticons |

|
| Larger Smiley set, I and my collegues use almost 200 (!) smileys. Maybe a button to expand the basic smiley set with some advanced smileys. |

| Every other update re-introduces crashes when quitting the app. Very annoying. |
| A more beautiful interface in default is sensible. |

|
|
| Google Talk account do not support invisibility. |
|
| More options for trivial reverts in functionality for the UI. For example the display picture for different buddies used to be displayed to the left of the input box in the chat window. It didn't make the chat window any bigger while being able to see it clearly (Unlike the current placement in the tabs). Please give me an option for that :) . Being able to set the width of the chat windows manually is another silly feature I'd love to see implemented. |
| GTK doesn't look that good in Vista... Not a major issue and probably not something you can fix, but Pidgin's menu's look like cr*p compared to the regular Vista ones. |

|
| Message which are unable to send (e.g. to huge Messages in ICQ) should be redisplayed in Text Writing Box - it is very annoying, if you wrote a huge ICQ Message, pressing enter and the whole Message is lost, because it was to big. |
|
|
|
| If my connection is broken, ICQ and AIM-Protocol look like they are still connected for about 10 minutes. Even messages look like they came through to the recipiemnt without any Errormessage or autamitic reconnect (MSN, Yahoo and Jabber do automatic reconnects) |
| Ability to choose the primary protocol on the buddy list when a user has multiple protocols |
|
| Well, sometimes pidgin start to use all my processor and it takes a mitute to restore to the order. Sometimes it crash my firefox or other process that is heavy too. |
|
|
| Better Skin Installation-Interface for Linux |
|
| no, at the moment |
|
| Add a nudge button for MSN Interface is perhaps a bit too basic File transfer in Google Talk Apparently slow file transfer in MSN |
|
| In windows, the small icon version (16x16) of the pidgin bird logo looks like it has googly eyes. |
|
|
| 2.5.3 is a bit of pain in the butt. It refuses to shut down on Windows. Always must kill it hard. Bummer. |
|
|
|
|
|
| my letters come out too big |
| I cant use Pidgin 2.5.3 on my Windows XP earlier SP2 and now SP3. The program turns on but my Gadu-Gadu buddy list doesn't appear and the program freezes :( |
| It would be great do have a better file transference speed, for MSN. For example, at a local network, a normal size file takes longer than MSN Live to be transfered(at Windows XP). It hangs whem I try to close it, at Windows, but i think it is already considered a Bug. |

| - Sometimes it hangs when I try to close it on windows - I am not able to set a default language for the spellchecker. I'm a portuguese speaker but I use Windows in english, so there's a confusion here. |

|
| Pidgin disconnects without updating the friendlist. so it looks like im still online while im not |
| No suggestions. |
|
| Maybe a better way to tell you that your connection has gone off. It doesn't warn you at all. |
| On your main-page, it says eg. "Download Pidgin 2.5.3 for Ubuntu", implying you are offering a .deb package for Ubuntu. Instead it just links to the source-code. Why? Also MSN file-transfers are still incredibly slow. |
|
| status messages in icq and support of the xstatus icons. |
|
| 1. Sometimes my IRC chatbox keeps hanging. Then I have to scroll down manual. This is a really bad bug! 2. Bot messages in IRC often have its own chatbox. I hope it will be possible to have the IRC conversation in only one chatbox in the future. |
|
| no |
| Add a "start in systray without popping up any windows" option. I'm tired of having to close the contact list every time I start pidgin. |

|
| I'm using my twitter account as a plugin, perhaps It could be by-default account. |
| pidgin terminates from time to time w/o a reason. sometimes it terminates when i want to start a encryptet im session w/ the otr-plugin. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The only other IM I still use is google talk. I don't know what exactly, but it works better than Pidgin. Even more ease of use, more simple, more clean, less to set and more settings that just are correct. And some of the specific google talk features, like a link to contact details and recent conversations. |

|
| In the MSN protocol, the people who have configured the mobile phone number on his account appears online after he/she disconnect (and i can't send offline messages to them - the MSN server reply that i need to configure my mobile phone account, that i didn't want) |
|
|
|
|
| I have changed my font from the default to a user defined one so I can more easily see which part of the conversation is mine (usually just choose bold). My minor quirk/annoyance is that when I copy and paste text (say from the conversation window) my user defined font preferences are not taken into account when pasted, it reverts back to the standard (non bold) text. |

| My Pidgin randomly crashes when trying to change the status message. But I don't know if it's something Gentoo-related instead, and I haven't tried to get a coredump of the crash. |
|
| Yes. I want to invite someone to a chat room in MSN by choosing the user from a list, and not having to type their username. |
| more xmpp support: service discovery, MUC etc. |
|
| A better update system, I often miss updates for months. MUCH improved msn support, no i can't change the protocol my friends use. Improved IRC support without having to turn to plugins for things like autosign in/auto join channel's etc or a more intuitive way of setting it all up atm its a massive pain. |

| I have very often problems sending files via my ICQ account e.g. the process is cancels after a few seconds. |
|
|
| * More plugins. |
| Possibly an up to date Personal Package Archive for Ubuntu, so upgrading to the latest version is easier for Ubuntu users, who don't have to wait for the next Ubuntu release or backports then? Minor issue though. |
| Quitting needs to be done by killing the process after the most recent update, worked fine before. |
|
|
|
|
| Change own buddy name across all protocols trough main window. |

|
| you should switch to another scm system, because noone knows how to work with the current one except the developers, which makes testing and getting into development unnecarry hard. |
| Sometimes Pidgin crash, this consumes a lot of memory (more less 1 or 1.5 gb), this was tested in two different computers with Ubuntu linux. |
| I'm not satisfied by the IRC functionality on Pidgin overall, always need to use other clients for IRC. It should see some improvements :) |

| The frame with buddys, accounts, tools, help has a fixed frame-width. If a reduce the contactlist width tools and help are not visible and useable anymore. Maybe you can change this fixed frame-width. Maybe tools and help in a second line, if the contactlist width is not enough? Maybe it's only a problem of the german version and the longer german words? |

| Faster file sending. Current file sending takes ages. The ability to see and add MSN personal messages. Sometimes the messages don't go through. I can't remember the exact wording of the errors but they do happen. Also, please enable NOTIFICATIONS of recent updates in Pidgin. I just realized there's a new version out! :( |
|
|
| crashes too often :( |
|
|
| the latest version of pidgin (2.5.3) has been locking up ubuntu -- it becomes an interruptible process that can't be killed and soaks up RAM (1.6gb out 2gb). so, i've been stuck using meebo over the past few days while working from home... still prefer pidgin despite this issue and i continue to use it at work on a winxp machine. |

|
| 1) Ability to specify different spell checker language for each chat window. With different folks I use different language (English, Czech) so the ability to safe per-buddy language settings would be helpful. 2) Some 3rd party clients have buggy charset implementation. For example from one my friend still sends Russian alphabet instead of Czech UTF characters (I had no time to install pidgin on her computer O:-) Per buddy setting to specify incoming charset encoding would be helpful. |
|
| the pudgin i use keeps disconnecting when i use more than 3 clients(msn, google, yahoo...), kindly see it can support low bandwidth too, also see if you can add the shine of 3d into it.. looks too matter dudes |

| If it runs together with a browser which displays facebook and winamp, pc crashes under vista. - pidgin 253 won't close regularly under vista, have to do it by force (taskmanager) |

| - My ICQ-Status can't be seen at the original ICQ-Client... My MSN-Status, too. - Between MSN, ICQ and Pidgin are problem with group-names (the capitalization rules) - If I add a new buddy and forgot to change the protocoll, there come's sometimes a message "buddy not found" and that was it -- it's better to show the buddy-add-window after that, so I can change the protocoll or something else.. - there is no modus to show all buddys, only sorted by online/offline (a modus to show all buddy without the groups) - there is no modus to block messages from users which are not in the buddy-list and there is also no ignore-function for users which are in the buddy-list (beside the not user-friendly ignore-plugin) - I can't send/recieve more than one file in one file-transfer at the file-transfer in ICQ - the away-messages that typed-in in the status field can't be removed form the drop-down-box - the buddy-requests aren't logged at the system-protocol (it's good, if you click the wrong button or something else) (I know that the ICQ-protocol isn't open, but you can try to fix that problems with ICQ, please!) |

| This is somewhat specific, but 2.5.3 (win) seems to continually crash if you right-click and choose Exit from the tray icon. In general, the Preferences interface is somewhat incomplete. I would like to be able to configure things like protocol icons within the preferences interface instead of going through the other menus. |

| a little thing...solve the major up there!! |
| 1) Copy-pasting from firefox causes the line breaks to be garbled. Go to any website in firefox, copy and paste into a chat window, and send the message. All the line endings are messed up. Technical detail: Pidgin should recognize a \n as a "\r\n" pair, not expect that it must be a "special character" because it's only a \n, and vice versa. Instead of getting little boxes, it should convert them to carriage returns. The workaround is to paste into notepad, then recopy. 2) http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/4386 3) The ability to remove the need to hit "enter" one extra time in the text-replacement plugin. If I type teh and hit enter, the IM does not send. Instead, it simply replaces teh with "the" on the enter. |
|
|
|
| not being able to set/force a default or preferred protocol for messaging a buddy when you have multiple protocols for a contact. between this and not always knowing what protocol you have open with a buddy without specifically checking, communications can be "not as expected" when you try to message somebody. also, i know it's a plugin and not part of pidgin proper but what the heck is up with guifications? will there ever be user-visible progress for version 3? |

|
|
| It crashes often, I came to this website to find an update to fix it, I am now going to switch to trillian now |

|
| An option to disable or filter incoming custom emoticons, especially animated ones, would be great. |

| IRC account creation is too confusing. I am still not able to use freenode.net using my registered account. At least give the input boxes better names. |
|
|
| the input chat box should be like it always have and not auto enlarge. furthermore i would like to see skins and a more customizable interace. |
| build-in otr-support would be great. then more users would be able to communicate secure per default |

| Handwriting in MSN. I'd like to see a tad more customization options. Better handling of offline messaging with MSN. Opening Hotmail mailbox without the web log-in prompt. |
| When I roll the mouse over a buddy it shows his details (when I roll the mouse over a group name too), there is no lag on this fact, I would like to pass the mouse over without show the popup or at least wait a second until it shows the popup. |

| * When I start Pidgin, some window pops up and tells me about error when reading blist.xml. I don't know what that is and I don't feel any lack of features/performance/whatever cause of this. I think I haven't spent much time solving this, but I remember I had the same problem when I was using Linux. * Sometimes I get two separate messages about authorization of buddy (ICQ) - one pops up and one is docked in roster list. |

|
|
| More often than not, new versions break something - perhaps more strict release criteria or an easier way to submit bugs (send report after crash, for instance) would be nice. I know bugtrackers are nice and the project can't continue without community involvement, but not all of us have the time/motivation to do anything but "click here to submit a bug report" from within the app. |

| Pidgin likes to eat buddies off of my buddy list, particularly when moving them from group to group. Kind of annoying. |

|
|
| more sophisticated chat history management |
|
| I really don't like the status icons and I find the "xy is typing" line in the chat window annoying. |
| Buddies who are set to show up on my buddy list even when offline quite often do not show up. |
| No need for full out skins, but a simple option for how light/dark would be good. |

| Most errors are my own. |
| Yes. When I (running Ubuntu 8.10 on my desktop) send several offline messages to my friend while he is offline and using Windows Vista, his client seems to crash when he logs on and vice versa; The same happens to me, but he sends from Vista to Ubuntu 8.10. Perhaps it has to do with the basic encoding, as I believe those differ between the two? Anyhow, that's about the only problem I have encountered while using Pidgin for over a year. Oh, wait. There IS one more thing! When I log on, I always get an error notification: "Cannot add user. Unknown exception (241)." That's a direct translation-- sorry if it isn't 100% accurate. |

| Upgrading to new pidgin client is costly/heavy.. especially on windows.. There should be a better pidgin upgrade mechanism Example: the upgrade mechanism of firefox is pretty cool. SIP-LCS plugin.. I am badly waiting for it :) Unfortunately I have windows on my laptop. each time I login both gtalk and pidgin are launched. I kill gtalk :) but eventually forces me to re-launch if I have to voice chat or video chat. :( and I do not kill pidgin at all :D Smileys - more convinent method to install smileys - the defualt smileys are not so impressive.. the smileys that come with sametime are so cute :) Pidgin 2.5.3, logout system hangs the client on windows vista. |

|
| I think what should be implemented (at least at an optional level) is the way pidgin handles new messages. Say someone would IM me in a game, the game would minimize to the new message window. Its pretty annoying in a few ways, usually during typing/gaming/movies/etc. An example, in the Windows version of yahoo, the new IM Window would still pop up, but not "steal focus". It is visible, but it wouldn't minimize a game or anything like that. |

| 2.5.2 seemed to be unable to send a number of messages to MSN accounts. Causing me to use the MSN client instead of pidgin. I am trying pidgin again now that you are on 2.5.3 and so far am satisfied that messages are not being dropped. So long as this remains the case I have no other issues (other than already mention windows hang on exit). |

| I not know... |
|
|
| I don't know if it's already fixed but I used to have, some time ago, some problems with MSN protocol. Pidgin sometimes let the connection to expire. Another problem is that it raised an error like "problem with switchboard" that makes me reset the full connecion. By the other side i'm pretty happy with it. |
|
| It was not possible to install the Windows Version. |
| If my internet began to start again, pidgin doesn't notice that and I'm already online, but I'm not online. I miss a feature which notice, that I have no access to the internet. |
|
| Status is a pain in the ass. Between things that are saved, things that aren't, having my status message not go away when I switch to available...it just sucks. |
|
| better file transferring. |
| Smaller icons for contacts in the contact list, the current default icons waste valuable space on the contact list. |

| The 2.5.3 client for Windows always crash when I exit the program. |
|
| ICQ protocol changes. Issues with other clients, like qip (umlauts are not been shown) |
|
| if an irc account is activated, it shouldn't connect on startup when there is no default channel set. i have an irc account but only use it rarely and it always starts when i start pidgin, but its annoying to activate/deactivate it all the time. irc should connect when i use the open chat function |
|
|
| No. |
|
| There should be some window notification that an account (e.g. AIM) has gone inactive. |
|
|
|
|
| Simplifying installation / updating pidgin-portable. |
|
| account management, when i startup pidgin it seems to be confusing for my family as opposed to the old way in GAIM with a list of accounts to sign in with, it seems like the list should be more visible on startup. especially annoying when it pops up multiple accounts to sign in all at once rather than letting me select each time |
|
|
| This new 2.5.3 version when I go to close the program it crashes, only when I go to close it. I'm running Windows Vitsa. Another thing is that small popup windows when people come online/offline like in Yahoo and MSN would be handy. |
|
|
| I noticed that you've mentioned the chat input box. I've seen that the size may be changed within the options dialogue, but I miss being able to resize it on a whim; it's very useful. |

|
| Problems!? No! No problems. Pidgin is a pretty program. Congratulations. |
| Please check this screenshot: http://usuarios.lycos.es/ekz/pidgin_group.jpg |
| Changing font and colour needs to be easier, when you paste in text pidgin uses the same formating as what you pasted ANNOYING... also pidgin crashes for me alot and i have to wait like ages till iuse it again. |
| Privacity window doen't work at all, by default should not allow users to send spam messages in MSN protocol. I tried Botsentry, but doing this deleted all users who had blocked. |
|
|
| File transfer box hides / dissapears to desktop and transfers are cancelled |
|
|
|
| Version 2.5.3 (XP/Vista x86) crash when closing Pidgin - the contact list doesn't close and I have to force it to close. |
|
|
| 1) Sometimes Pidgin crashes when the network connection goes down and then back up in a short time (Windows version). 2) Every time the computer comes up from standby/hibernation, Pidgin crashes (Windows version); possible due to issue mentioned above. 3) Save offline messages to log (if enabled), before displaying them. In the case of a crash, you lose all offline messages, before having the chance to read them. |
|
| MSN connectivity. There are bugs that does not only relate to their servers. And filetransfers on nearly all my protocols have problems here. |
|
| There are unresolved msn server & client list syncronisation issues |
| Upgrading Pidgin on Linux is a major pain |
| 1. MSN protocol is totaly buggy. File transfers is very slow. Chats timeouts and in order to be able to send messages again u need to relogin. There is couple of bug reports in trac available, but nobody responds to them for years. 2. Conference invitation forms is a mess. There is no use for 'initiate chat' entry to do it manually. Why not just to have 'Invite' option and to create chat automatically. 3. Msn userinfo is a mess. There is no info there actually. 4. There is still no jabber discovery support (plugin?). 5. For a years there is strange problems with adding users. 6. When u adding new account there is 'Local alias' entry witch is totally unneeded. Why not just to make a global alias like 'me'.? 7. No ways to create private conference for jabber users (probably new plugin?) 8. I prefere to see gtk-close icon on tabs, instead of 'x'. I dont mind to see it like this, but still if its possible to fix this, it will be way better. |
|
|
| Sometimes I'm getting timeouts and/or error with MSN plugin. In these cases I can't understand if a message has been delivered or not.. pretty annoying |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 1. I don't see any update feature. I use 2.5.1 2. The preferences box could more user friendly 3. Grouping buddies according to the account / protocol (gtalk, yahoo, sametime, etc) would be more useful |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Quickfind issues on Win32. Some have bug reports some don't. Prob GTK related, but annoying. |
|
|
|
|
| i would like stability in file transfers, since the reciever aparently have to accept right away otherwise the file tranfer gets cancelled, the program claims that its the reciver that cancelled but when you ask him/her ther didnt, so that would certaintly be e great thing to get fixed. |
|
|
| One annoyance I have is with the hang up on exit with Vista and Pidgin 2.5.3. Besides that I am satisfied. |
|
|
| no |
|
| The possibility of showing a popup window when somebody connects. A message showing that somebody is trying to start a webcam session with you. Right now there is no possible way of knowing that. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Pidgin-OTR should be included as a default plugin. Support for Microsoft Office Communicator could also be great. A web version of pidgin, on the go, could also be great things toto have., because, currently, since "finch" doesn't support OTR plugin, when I travel, I use pidgin inside a VNC server... Not really perfect, but at least I can access it in a secure way (ssh tunnel), and I can run all my plugins, including OTR. |
|
|
| If you accidentally type in the wrong password for an MSN account, it won't ask you for the password again when you click "re-enable", it just keeps trying to login again and again with the wrong password, until you have to completely close Pidgin and start it again. That's highly annoying and should be fixed. |
| In some cases, the wording may be daunting for new users (i think it was "Screen name" in the MSN account dialog, for example..) |
| Using gnme libraries is't very good for me. |
|
|
| Windows version install's too much... Aspell etc |
|
| Change the order of the OK / cancel buttons on Windows! OK - left; Cancel - right. Very confusing because it's different to platform standard. |
| Pidgin locks up when exiting on windows vista x64 SP1 |
|
|
| All GTK2 bugs |
|
|
|
| I prefer the graphic (icon in the corner) way of notifying that your friend is currently typing as opposed to a text message at the bottom of the screen. Also, on Windows 2.5.x clients, a maximized window consistently resizes itself to the default size/location when I bring up the chat window by clicking on it the taskbar. These few annoyances have led me to use the 2.3.x series, but I haven't looked into workarounds or solutions or submitting bug reports too much. On the whole, Pidgin is wonderful. |
| The file transfer under gtalk often fails with me. The options of customization of the user interface are very limited. |

|
| UTF8/iconv conversion issues with windows status message support for icq (patch is already there) |
|
|
|
|
|
| Although there are a few new features I wouldn't mind seeing. To me I just would like to see the stability and memory leak issues under msn protocol addressed. After quite a few program revisions, it still dies when receiving large amounts of custom similes. Wouldn't also would not mind seeing some expansion in the ICQ. It only supports very basic text, and the file transfer has been broken for some time. |

| 1) Python-writed plugins support (i don't like Perl). 2) "Popup notifications (on new conversations, buddy sign/off, etc) are... " Not important to me - this is task for plugins 3) "Skins and themes are... " Not important to me - pidgin must use common GTK theme. Maybe it needed for windows version... 4) Other new things must be compatible with other clients/protocols - like a SIP for voice conversation and GPG for message encryption. |
|

|
|
| 1) add buddy button (if buddy already exist ) produce duplicated buddy entry in the buddy list 2) (linux) input box: selecting text in the input box, then pointing mouse and press middle button does not copy text 3) starting pigdin without internet connection leads to inability of login server resolving, so pidgin restart is required after going online |

| Smilies replacing mechanism doesn't work correctly. It replaces all text in the chat window inclusive chat entry header (time + account name). I've installed QIP-pidgin smilies. And now in the chat window "gmail.com/Home" replaces with "gmail.co[SMILE]Home". |
|
|
|

|
| They say it was fixed, but I'm using the latest pidgin available in Fedora 9 repos, and I still have this problem: Empty groups are created (even if they were deleted) on each program's start. That annoys a lot. The names are: Not in list, Orphans, Other contacts. General, Buddies. I can't get rid of these groups. |

| so now you decided that you care about your users and it is not just a software for you personal use? I'd say, too late -- go fuck yourself. |
| Auto reconnect. |
| It would be nice if you could recall the line/"command" that Pidgin "eats", when you inadvertently start your message with a "/" char. |
| better log search |
|
| Memory leaks |
|
|
| Annoying typing notification (to be replaced with old-style menubar icon); Default shortcut (Enter) for sending messages (Ctrl-Enter seems to be more usual); Inability to view the details of ICQ contact asking for authorization (could be at least a hyperlink in a mini-dialog pointing to ICQ details web page); Unread messages are lost if Pidgin quits or crashes (have to search ~/.purple/logs for recently updated files to reveal those messages) |

|
| Small wish: better ICQ protocol support (Extended statuses for example) with support for invisibility list, blacklist/whitelist options. |
|
|
|
|
|
| More compact UI by default |
|
|
|
| On Windows Vista (and possibly XP?) sometimes the buddy list doesn't refresh properly when a buddy signs off, and instead duplicates buddies. For example, say you have Buddy1 Buddy2 Buddy3 and Buddy4 online, and then Buddy2 signs off. The buddy list sometimes says Buddy1 Buddy3 Buddy3 Buddy4. This only happens when the buddy that signs off is visible at the time. Mousing over a buddy changes that buddy to the one that should be in that spot. |

| Clean up cluttered context menus, e.g. many buddy's items could merge into a buddy properties window (similar to amsn) holding different tabs for buddy notes, cached buddy icons, pounces, custom buddy icon. Several menuitems should be checkbox-style instead of using alternating labels: block buddy, expand buddy, show in BL even if offline. |

| The version 2.5.x from time to time, it is not clear why hangs at work with icq |
|
|
|
|
| The message notification plugin still (2.5.3) has issues like blinking all the time, even when there are no new messages |
|
|
| IM & chat logging should be on by default Contact list window should remember its maximized and shaded state ICQ Xtraz - extended status/away messages support |
| none |
|
| If it is possible to make pidgin show userpics in jabber conferences, it will be great. Another thing is a form for information about myself in ICQ account. It can be improved. And... A plugin for client detection? It is useful sometimes, there was a patch, but you've rejected it... |
| Some troubles with changing status to idle (gnome Ubuntu 8.04) I'm using VPN to access to internet and pidgin can't detect that connection is lost/ Pidgin can be about hour offline, but stat is still online) |

|
| Well.. what about more buttons on bottom panel? Like "show offline users" etc. |
|
|
| I'd like to see more eye candies. On Mac I prefer Adium to Pidgin because of its much better UI. On Linux I'd prefer Pidgin to use less resources. It's second on my system sitting right after Firefox. I think. It's not good. |
| no |
|
| Yes for you something is constant does not work. For example at disconnect tray icon is green. Though network connect is not present. Messages come to offline in not strange encoding. The interface awfully stupid. What to look users in an offline or to switch off a sound it is necessary to make the way through the menu which is not visible if a window narrow. Please, look on qip - this is ideal messanger. |
| Encoding problems sometimes. In Russian, when thirdparty messengers are used on the other side, all messenges come in unrecognised, while with default protocol software is ok. |
| support x-status in ICQ. |

| Spam protection from unwanted contacts. Make it easy to add additional buttons in IRC channels (to kick users or Akick users etc) |

| In IRC, I'd like for the super operator symbols by the name to be fixed. (mode is +a) -- You have symbols for +q, +o, +h and +v but there isn't one for +a. A minor annoyance because I have people in my IRC channel who are +a and I go to set them as +a because there is nothing by their names so it looks like they are just a regular user, but I go to do it and nothing happens and I figure out they are already +a. Sometimes they have the +o symbol because ChanServ will set them as +a+o or whatever. Also, adding more color support so it matches mIRC's default set would be nice. |

| having a "1" tagged at the end of IRC nicks associated with my pidgin is rather a nuisance... but the work around is fill in "username" in advanced tab, but most people are lazy |

|
|
|

|
|
| Better and faster file transfer support for QQ and MSN; include the fetion protocol |
|
|
|
|
|
| Perhaps more options to make Pidgin more similar to the default clients, especially MSN, although obviously more stripped,albeit that could be done through skins too. |
|
|
|
| File transfers on both AIM and MSN can be pretty crappy sometimes. My contacts "cancel" my transfers sometimes when they really don't on both AIM and MSN. I also receive file transfer requests delayed sometimes on MSN. The latter could also be a problem on AIM, but I have no proof of it as contacts have never said things like "Accept!" to me. |
|
|
|
|
| Including patches for supporting x-status icons in icq into the main project will attract much more users to pidgin. |
|
| i've tryed adding all the plugins i can find but i'm still unsatisfied with the flash on new message feature ... new messages friquently go un noticed ... i've recently switched to linux ... i used to use trillian in windows and i loved it, when a new message came it flashed a different icon in the system tray depending on the type of message ... by flash i dont mean change color, i mean blink on and off |
|
|
| More smile packs with default installation Conversation logging should be enabled by default. "Contact information" windows takes tooooo much time to open for XMPP contacs |
|
|
|
| 1. ability to save client statuses in contact's history always (not only when chat is open) 2. show user info in authorization request 3. better indication of new messages in title of grouped chats (now looks like all messages are from contact which tab is active now) |
|
|
|
| Occassional crashes. I don't have any terminal output, so this is in no way useful for you. Sowwy. :[ |
|
| Crashes when change smiley themes. |
|
|
| Some ICQ users don't see my avatar :) I guess, It's a pidgin bug. AIM mess up encoding (I'm Russian). |
|
| I would like an automatic upgrade process built in to Pidgin so that I don't have to manually go out and install anything. Laziness on my part? Sure, but why not? I'm sure there is a great technical reason for not implementing it yet, but it is definitely something that I enjoy about Firefox, for example, and it would be great for Pidgin as well. |
|
| Can't figure out how to enter my password for my IRC stuff so I don't get to nicks calling me every time I log into freenode. |
|
| Using Pidgin for IRC can be kind of a hassle... There's too many new chat windows/tabs being opened while using it. An option to send all messages on IRC to a single, separate chat window would help make it more manageable. Also, when you type a status into the status text box instead of using the new status dialogue, the only way to delete that status is by editing the xml file in the .purple folder. I keep accidentally clicking on the text box which causes it to save something like "Available - I am not at my computer right now." This gets rather annoying. Would be nice for a way to either delete those status through pidgin's GUI, or an option to remove the text box altogether. |

| when using the microsoft IME, if you try to type in away message, because you are typing in the IME window pidgin thinks you are done and ends the edit box. That is to say it only gives you about 5 secs to type in an away msg. |

| Sometimes wrong encoding (ICQ)... Voice/video features. More usefull modules. |

| Sometimes it hangs. I suspect it's when something happens with jabber server. |
|
|
|
| a plugin that allows one to write /song in an IM and have that replaced by the current track playing in whatever music player would be nice. now all the plugins only let you update your status. also, the entire appearance of the buddy list really ought to be redone... customization is key--not everyone, for example, likes big buddy icons to appear there. like me. |
| Make an option for 'Ctrl-enter' send message instead of plain 'Enter' Cyrillic messages sometimes delivered as garbage ('??????? ??? ?????'), probably connected with changes in ICQ protocol |
| Encoding for offline messages from icq to jabber seems to be broken. |

| deb packages in the officiall site |
| i use ICQ protocol and i use charset cp1251. So it's OK, but when i read status, i receive status and see unicode symbols. I understand that i set charset cp1251 and everything encoding in it (if i change charset to utf-8 - all right with status but problem with offline messages). So i want to see status and normally receive offline-messages (messages that sent when i was offline, and i receive it when back online) p.s. i understand that icq is bad but i still use it. sorry for my english |

|
|
|
|
|
|
| Please allow overriding the interface language and direction when the system is BiDi one. I'd rather have a native win32 API / interface, rather the the kludge that is Gtk inteface. You can (if it's on your agenda), achieve this by switching to Qt, or dropping multi-platform support altogether, and sticking with Windows. |
| Jabber MUC support? |

| No send button in chat window. |

| Yes! I incredibly dislike using buddy avatar as conversation icon in taskbar, it just looks ugly and is no way functional. Besides that, I'd like to finally see full Gadu-Gadu support, including transferring files. |
|
|
| Save my friends on my ICQ accaunt because when i take new place i need to add them again |
| - Chatrooms can't be added as a normal buddy to buddylist. - Plugin for "Listening Now" - X-Status? |
|
|
|
| Probably already fixed in current version, but when i add an xmpp contact, and it authorizes me, a duplicate contact appears. I know this is because of the way xmpp works (subscriptions..) but it is quite annoying. Another small quirk: it would be nice to be able to disable the automatically growing input textbox. I myself have no problem whatsoever with this, but it seems to confuse less experienced users. |
| The search tool is very weak. I can't find almoust noone. How can I find someone without knowing a name or e-mail? Is there any extended search with sities, countries, name, surname and so on (as in default ICQ client)? |

| Unexpected pidgin crashes. |
|
|
| YES! Switched to Miranda IM on Windows due to constant encoding problems with some ICQ clients (primary QIP i think). No tweaks inside Pidgin configuration itself helped. This applies only to incoming messages, so it is a Pidgin problem. If you can fix it, then I switch back to Pidgin. Miranda have a poor (but tolerable) UI. |
|

| Log files - annoying that a new one ist started for each new conversation, even with the same person/nick. Trillian log files are continued from the previous conversation, much easier therefore to search for info in one file for one person than multiple files for one person.

|
| I would like to have Debian packages updated more often. The contact list doesn't work much well.. |
|
| The way the status selector saves the message when changing status. What is the point of that? I would go from an 'away' to 'available' and the 'away' message stays on. It's a bit annoying that I have to manually change it each time. |
|
|
| please get more irc-commands working and improve the whole irc-part of pidgin i'd like to use irc-commands like /kick for example. |

| ICQ protocol lack of X-status support (Like in Kopete). |

|
|
|
| In blocking options, when I choose to block everyone except my buddies list, after certain period of time (maybe after I restart Pidgin) this option changes to block from the blocking list below, so spamers not in this list annoy me :) (Excuse my English, I am from Ukraine) |

|
| Occasionally Pidgin will crash and I'll lose all of the data I've entered into the program, seemingly for no reason. Other times it'll crash and nothing like that happens. I wish I could provide more info to fix it, but maybe you already have. |
| General problem is a ubuntu-oriented software style, in our community over 9000 humans have a high intellect (>90lol), but software developed for dummies. Sorry for my Ingrish. |
| if icq connection is interrupted it takes a rather long time for pidgin to recognize this, and so some messages get lost .. |
|
| The past 4 or 5 upgrades always involve crash problems. I didnt upgrade to the newest version until now and i get crashing when trying to close it. |
|
| Avatar picture managing should work better |
|
|
| First, I like client in general. But I've seen how accidentally near all account "chair" or something like that had appeared without any reason. This is some kind of "invisible mode". I've seen it several times. Also more userfriendly encoding selection support is recuired (for russian users). More customization to make chat window even simplier is appreciable. |
| Easier to set nick set a nick(in my case MSN) and status messages. |
|
| ICQ privacy settings don't work, bug reported long time ago some really nice xmpp features not implemented, though it's open |

|
| When I remote desktop into my computer at home (running pidgin) from another computer that has a smaller screen resolution, I am unable to find my buddy list; it appears to be off the screen. It would be great if pidgin could detect a resolution change and move itself within the boundaries of the new screen resolution. |
|
|
| I'd like to edit the font size throughout the hole interface, like the buddy list or the chat window. |
|
| If password is mistyped, then account gets disabled. I reenable, nut it remembers mistyped password, so I must delete mistyped password from account settings. Better would be just asking password again. (MSN) When inactive (Away) then from somewhere comes status message - "I am not here right now". I have tried deleting it, but it reappears. (MSN) |

|
|
| Japanese input is really wacky. Instead of appearing in the input area, it goes into the upper left corner of the chat window until you hit enter. I type frequently in Japanese and it's kind of annoying. This is really minor, but when someone's typing and then stops, it bumps the conversation up a line. The Google in-browser chat solves this by always having a line open at the bottom of the chat for the "x is typing..." line. |
| Better support to personal messages. |

| I suppose that the sometimes occuring connectivity problems using the Gadu-Gadu protocol are caused by their servers. If this can be checked it would be fine. It occurs about one, two times a month. |

|
|
| More efficient resource management. |
| My avatar doesn't work and it never did. :-) I understood that this is yahoo's sucky protocol fault. It is hard to recommend pidgin to a friend knowing that he will bash me for that lousy picture not showing. |
| The change to status message behavior in 2.5.3 is counter-intuitive. When I change from away to available, it should not keep my away message. |

| I'd like to have my contacts/buddies/etc in separate sections on the buddy list for each protocol/account for clarity and organization. If there's a way to do this already, please contact me. That's pretty much the only thing which bugs me about Pidgin. |
|
|
| nope |
| Sometimes when I add a buddy or move a buddy from one group to another with other client or on another computer, Pidgin tells me the buddy is in my list but not in the server list (in case of move between groups) and ask me if I want add the buddy to server list, if I click Yes I will have the same contact duplicated in my list. I would like to see an option for each account, like "Always download buddy list from the server on connect". File transfers in Pidgin is slower than others clients. |
| The usage of memory when we have many emoticons in the chat. |
| The History plugin causes Pidgin to stall for a while when a window is first opened. Depending on the size of the previous conversation, this can be anywhere from 1 to 30 seconds (though these are large conversations that span over days). I've decided to stop using it until this is fixed. |
| An easier way to change the font size... |
|
|
|
|
| Pidgin crashes maybe once a day. It isn't a big problem, but when I'm in the middle of a conversation it's quite irritating. If there were another application that could match Pidgin, I would switch. Please address this problem so you don't lose users. Numerous friends of mine have switched to other applications because of Pidgin's tendency to freeze/crash. |
|
|
| I'd like to be able to disable grouping in the Buddy List. |
| sometimes the exchange of files over icq doesn't work. |
|
|
|
|
| Emoticons that appear in the list of nicknames of contacts. Compatibility with colorful nicknames generated by msn plus, that appear in the list of contact. |
| The adjustable separator between the view and input on the chat window to come back. |
|
| One addition to the two mentioned above: I've seen discussions on tickets where developers don't want to fix this, but I think it is really important to allow the user to control whether or not they want to send the "I closed the window" notification to the other party. Currently the only way to do this is to turn off all typing notifications. I would actually prefer that the closed window message never be transmitted -- it's too easy to interpret as an "up yours; i'm done chatting with you" |
| Maybe a closer UI tie in to Vista when running on Windows Vista, but that is just minor. |
| Filesharing, its difficult to send/receive files. |
|
|
|
| Get the configuration options under control - they're scattered all over the place. The menus need an entire bucket of UI design polish, many of the options seem to have just grown where they are. |

|
| logs should not go in a .file. I'm not sure where I'd put them, but I'd like to be able to easily rsync .* without that bulk. maybe gzip them as well? support for SSL connections to the aim server(slogin.oscar.aol.com) |
| Pidgin seems to have issues where it will randomly crash. It's not extremely often, but it's enough to be annoying. It's happened to me on multiple pc's and with fresh installs of both pidgin and the operating system (Windows Vista 64.) |

| After long use, Pidgin tends to freeze up or consume tons of memory |
|
| Better integration with MSN Messenger protocol. |
|
| I notice that when I look at buddy group counts, they aren't always accurate. It looks like they're not counting mobile buddies, or away buddies, or idle buddies, or something. Whatever it is, it's not accurate. |
| When Pidgin shows auth request from unknown ICQ number, it would be nice to have a button "get user info". |
|
|

| Pidgin crashes frequently. I'm using Windows XP SP2. Also, I seem to have difficulty getting the new executables downloaded, because for some reason, I have difficulty with sourceforge web site. This has happened over several months on different PC's, different networks, and with different browsers (Firefox different versions - up to 3.0.5, IE6 & 7). I would like to see a mirror site or alternate server available through pidgin.im from which to download upgrades. There may be a fix for some of the problems I'm having with crashes, but I can't get the new version. |

| - Ability to deselect contacts (e.g. by clicking on an empty area) - Better way of managing accounts (the "Accounts" menu kind of suck). Trillian's coloured buttons with logos instead would be great. - IRC fixes (e.g. fix all the IM popups when connecting to networks like freenode) - More contact list customization and sorting options, e.g. auto-sizing contacts depending on number online (assuming offline are hidden), filling out contact list with "last online but now offline" contacts (but not enough to require a scroll bar) (assuming offline are hidden), ... |
|
|
| I can't set different status for different accounts. |
|
| Having gmail open and pidgin googletalk activated caused weird errors - couldn't do both at the same time effectively - ie, there were weird sync issues. Since gmail is my primary email interface, I stopped using pidgin for this. Also, I think that the IRC interface was poor - needs to have 'people in the room' listing available like xchat it may do now - I used to use pidgin a lot more, back when I had to use windows for work but since I don't use jabber anymore, I do xchat for irc, and in browser gmail, so my pidgin use has dropped off. |
| Make the feature "group the same buddy in multiple accounts better". For instance, it does not work with the Bonjour protocol. It's good to see an icon idicating which protocol a buddy uses. |

|
| better handling of multi-protocoll contacts - e.g. how do I set which protocoll is standard? |
| It sometimes crashes when sending files |
|
| When I click on Pidgin's 'message arrived' icon, chat window should jump to current virtual desktop. Now it becomes active, but if desktop is changed, chat window is not shown. |
|
|
|
| I'd like to see the docked buddy list (windows) have a maximised appearance (no rounded border). It's a great feature, but in vista at least, it would look sharper. Would be nice to see less wasted space without losing details. There is a lot of white space in pidgin, and while I'm sure it's nice for readability for some people, I find it annoying and bloated looking. Also, I'd like to hide the group label thingee. I have everyone in one giant group and that label is kind of a waste of space (again) to me. The option to sort the whole list by online/offline only would be great. |
|
|
|
| GUI configurable shortcuts not by making gtk accels (or how they called). I want to have something like ctrl+shift+A to show/hide main window and ctrl+shift+I to read incoming message (from any account) |
| Customizable background image support for the buddy list window would be nice, images in the background of the IM windows would be REALLY cool, too. |
|
| - Support for personal messages (MSN) - Themes with compositor integration (transparency) |

| some text encoding problems while chatting with buddies who use Jimm - J2ME Mobile Icq client. Problem appears if I use cp1251 encoding and buddy uses Win-1251 Jimm's function.

| There is one very important thing for me: message encoding settings. Currently I have to type encoding name by hands, so some mistakes can occur. Is it possible to place some predefined list of encodings in some combobox or etc? And one more thing: I have to use CP1251 as encoding, and I have problems (some special characters for this encoding displayed as some kind of hieroglyphs) with this when I receive messages for other IM clients (from QIP for example). The same problem appears when I receive authorization request. Is it possible to improve pidgin's configuration in this area? This is really annoying things. Thanks! |

| I would like to have the buddy list open with an icon in the system tray but without an entry in the taskbar. I currently use the extprefs plugin but it doesn't work on current versions of GTK+ so I am stuck using the GTK+ version from pidgin 2.3.1. I am still able to run 2.5.3 of pidgin using the old GTK+ version, though. |

| - ICQ via Proxy is not very stable, especially on round robin, clients like trillian work much better. - The configuration of notifications is very ugly. With notify-plugins an buildin notification functions, you have to use different dialogs to configure, how you want to be notified. |

|
| The ability to change the font and text color for each account and save it so I don't have to keep changing it every time I receive or send an IM. |
|
| I'd really wanna see Pidgin more portable, I mean less tied to the system, like gtk and purple folders, why not make it all autonomous and in one Pidgin folder? On the whole, I find Pigdin files, folders, plugins a bit chaotically located, not so intuitive. |
| - Timestamp font color and size editing. As far as i know it can only edited with the rest of the line color and font size. |
|
| I agree with GUI simplicity rules defined by Gnome, but I think it should be possible to have a better access to advanced options. Maybe a plugin? Something similar to the GTK options plugin...? But I do have to agree with you guys when you don't want to over-complicate code just because of an option that will be used by 5% of the users. |
| Latest version freezes on shut down. |
| Font support - specifically background colors: Margins between two IMs with background color are usually drawn as white, regardless of the parties' chosen colors, but minimizing and restoring the window forces the margins to be redrawn properly. I would like to see the white margins disappear. |
| input box enhancement out put enhancement like i cant see what type of font settings i have used in my chat like italic or bold etc |

|
|
| Search of buddies sometimes locks up or does not work |
| 2.5.2 crashed a couple times a day. Now 2.5.3 crashes about 60 seconds after loading. |
|
|
|
| - Buddy list search should be more intelligent. It should search between the offline contacts too, it should search for partial matches and it should search in the contacts' account name too (i mean searching for "foo" should also find a contact having "foobar@gmail.com" as it's account name even if it's alias is set to "baz"). - Offline buddies should be grouped together somehow. This way sorting buddies alphabetically would not spread all the online buddies in the list. Maybe this could be solved with a simple switch: Offline buddies last (to put all the offline buddies in a group after the online ones). This can imply a few problems, but the awkward sorting of the buddies combined with the awkward search behavior makes really a pain to send a message to somebody offline atm. - Maybe you should consider embracing the skype4pidgin project a little closer, as this is the only way to integrate at least the user interface. |

Also, it would be nice that after changing a status that I could just click on the buddy list to close the little box used for specific messages beyond just the away status. |
|
| I would like to see the option to group offline buddies. so you do have one group which contains all offline buddies instead of online and offline buddies in the regular groups. |

| View contact info on authorization request. |
| Well, I use Debian and do usually compile the latest pidgin version from source by using the "debhelper" package. This helps me to generate a .deb which can be properly (de)installed with debians dpkg-tool. For that, it would be helpful if a propper configured "debian" subdirectory could be provided within the source directory. |

| I use Debian etch and the only time Gaim ever crashes is with the OTR plugin, usually right after a file transfer.(almost always after a file transfer) |
|
| Pidgin is much crashier on Windows (Vista Business, 64-bit) than I'd like it to be. |
|
|
|
| In the new version, closing down the system is horribly broken. In Windows, the pid takes too long to close out and causes Windows to crash the program. |
| Better XMPP support for things like priority, better support for importing contacts in AIM. Also, we could use a section on the website explaining how the trac system works for those who don't know how to get CC'd on changes, what the difference between new and pending is, how the voting system works, etc. (The TracTickets page linked from the bottom of each ticket doesn't explain any of this.) |

| Please include an automatic updater option. The current upgrade checker merely notifies you that an upgrade is available. Then you have to go to the Pidgin website and manually upgrade. This is a minor inconvenience. |
|
| Not sure where to put this, but I would definitely appreciate an auto-updater of some sort so I don't have to fire up a browser, etc. (Not neccessarily one that automatically does stuff in the background, just one that is as hands-off as possible) |

|
| When attempting to exit on Windows, Pidgin freezes and I have to kill it. |
| GTK on windows IS SLOW. sending files, choosing buddy icon takes aeon when your my document files or folder full of picture is filled. Maybe it's time to switch to a better library for windows access. animated gif made pidgin crash multiple time |

| Easier to include new emoticons Make IRC support better Problem: Just in Windows, and just in one of the computers I use, pidgin (or gtk, don't know) crashes, turning all my screen blank, and messing with every thing on my display, even wallpaper and other softwares disappear, and slowly comes back. |
|
|
| I have a lot of ram so it's non-issue, but I like Pidgin to stay as lightweight as possible. It's the main reason I use. Mine is using 70mb right now and only running two protocols on three accounts. Seems kinda high. |

| File transfer in MSN Protocol!!! Also, I still get kicked off from time to time due to "reading errors." Doesn't happen with official client. |
|
|
|
|
| Maybe you should be able to select, which protocols you use when installing. Or maybe there should be different versions or something. I - and I think, I am not alone - only use 2 protocols, so the rest is lots of overstuffed! I would really like such an option! |
| When trying so shut down, it crashes |
|
|
|
| current version doesn't close when i try to quit, except when i force it to, then it crashes. also every time i sign in, MSN or GTALK asks me to reconnect - only once but it's annoying |
|
|
| Hiding of offline contacts |
|
| Havent been able to get file transfers working when the other person is also using a 3rd party program (eg: from Trillian to Pidgin) |
| MSN chat groups (which are added to the buddy list as regular contacts) are still not supported -- when somebody sends a message to the group, their name is "masked", and the message shows up with the group's name instead of the sender's name. The interface for grouping contacts from different accounts into a single "meta-contact" could be slightly improved. (1) It is not clear which contact is the "main" one (the contact whose nickname is inherited by the meta-contact) -- is it always the first one? I tried moving things around and it seemed not to be that way. (2) I reckon expanding a meta-contact could be made a little easier, like pressing the plus key when the contact is selected. |
| I use pidgin in three different computers running Linux. In each one I get a different list of contacts that sometimes shows the MSN butterfly, other times a thumbnail of the person's image and sometimes nothing at all. May be a configuration problem... |
|
| Sometimes buddy list icons appear "squashed" or cut off sometimes. Just a minor glitch. |
|
|
| None come to mind. |
| I have a shutdown problem that I've pinpointed to haveing a IRC chat channel in the buddy list. I only knows this happens in Windows, I hanvn't tested in Linux. When I chose exit, or try to close it in any other manner (except terminate process) the buddy list becomes unresponding. |
|
| Not that I can think of at this moment. |
| Under Windows XP (32-bit) when exiting the program, the buddy list has a tendency to hang, and usually must be terminated from the task manager. |
|
| I'd like to see the facebook plugin installed by default (i do it manually), and i think it'd be handy if the buddy list could have multiple views... much like any other explorer / nautilus window. There's all kinds of screen real estate, but with a long list, I still only get a narrow column with a scroll bar. |
|
| Random buddy list errors on startup |
| Friends on Yahoo cannot use photo sharing with me, forcing them to send files directly. Speaking of, file transfers tend to fail a little more often than I'd like. Pidgin also tends to flip out when I connect from another location, and reconnecting is kind of a pain (at least on the AIM protocol). |
|
|
|
| windows hang on exit |
| there are very few problems and when there is, it usually gets fixed right away. I love how pidgin notifies me when it's time to update! :D |
|
| Make the menu options for the plugins easier to navigate, more uniformity for options. |
| N/A |
| 1. modifying groups on one machine often messes up same groups on another machine. |
|
|
| MSN Webcam support Out of the box OTR support |
| the latest version crashes regularly... |
| The inability to use an avatar and a status message with Yahoo! accounts. The fact that one is so very often told, when trying to add a new buddy, that the particular ID does not exist in the Yahoo database, when it altogether very clearly does exist. The constant crashes, especially when attempting to send files. The frequent inability to send files in the first place - as things stand now, most transfers fail, with the other person not even being asked for a confirmation of the transfer attempt. |
| sometime msn can not send message, because a connect error. but network is ok. |
|
|
| When I'm using AIM in Pidgin, I'd like the sign on, sign off, and new IM sounds to sound like the AIM sounds. At least, I'd like that option. Also, I'd like it if the mobile icon to the right of the screen name would be integrated in with the green/gray/clock-shaped dot on the left side of the screen name in my buddy list, so I wouldn't have to look two places to see the availability of my buddies. |
|
|
|
|
| right now whenever i close pidgin it does not close correctly so i always have to send in error reports. |
| built-in autoupdate would be nice, or at least having "new version" notifications turned on by default. Better error messages would be good. I shouldn't have to install debug versions to figure out why google chat keeps booting me off or similar. Also, being able to format only sections of the text being sent wold b nice, although that might be format/protocol related rather than anything you guys can do. |
|
|
| pidgin will out of response when exit. verson 2.5.3 and if there is a friend request, the program will break down.... |
|
|
|
|
|
| When you have a lot of chat history Pidgin is rather slow when starting a chat with that person. |
|
|
|
|
|
| pidgin is fairly crashy under vista x64 but I love it too much to quit. I have been using since before Gaim 1.0, and it has consistently gotten better, but I think 64-bit windows should be taken more seriously as the platform is growing in strength. |
| there some charset problem in windows version http://dfyz.livejournal.com/86038.html (russian) i can translate into english if needed |
|
| control+enter message sending - place it in configuration, not in google. |
| x-statuses |
|
|
|
|
| No. All right! :) |
|
|
|
| A bug on idle time reporting. When set to "based on last message sent," the idle time does not reset i.e. after a sent message while idle, the status goes from idle to active as it should but it does not go to an idle state again after the alotted time. |
|
|
|
| pop-ups like GTalk as if pidgin is minimized then i cannot sense new chats coming in pidgin, |
|
|
|
|
| Version 2.5.3 frozen on my system. I had to switch back to the previous version. |
|
|
|
|
| Updates for Windows could be more automated, like Adium does it (but then things are a lot easier on the Mac). The Release Notification plugin should either be integral or turned on by default. We have loads of people at work with ancient versions of Pidgin because they never know (and it's not a one-or-two click process) to upgrade. |
|
|
|
| better GNOME Integration |
| Having file transfer requests inline in the conversation rather than an additional popup (that invariably gets timed out because it doesn't popup above other open apps, at least on my windows system), MSN Messenger style. |
| + a better blocked icon for the MSN protocol. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Current build crashes on Vista when i try to terminate program. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| I think it is too large buttons? i dont like it. |
|
|
|
|
| sometimes when the network or connection to the internet is down, pidgin hangs and not responding (win xp) |
|
|
| it quite often crashed in Vista |
| Minor annoyance - it is not clear WHAT is to be indicated in the fields "Buddy screen name" and "Alias" |
|
|
| the fixed/automatic size of the message window is annoying. Because of that I used a fork of pidgin while I could do it |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| A smaller buddy list would be nice in order not to have to scroll all the time (because of many buddies online simultaneously) |
| Long time for MSN connection, a lot of errors during MSN conversations and lack of possibility to initiate MSN group chat. |
| after i updated pidgin to version 2.5.3 when ever i try to quit pidgin stops responding. this is happening only from this version and i never faced it before and for 2 days i cannot access google talk though i can access gtalk from google's messenger |

| 1. I want to use better IRC. 2. I don't use it in public computer because this IM remember my account and it asks password when restart. I want old style(GAIM style) login. |
|
|
| Chat window positioning. Accomplished fairly easily using plugins. |
|
|
|
|
| privacy settings do not work, i.e. restrict messages from other users than in my buddy list. After a few starts the settings will reset (to no restrictions). This applies to both the Win and Linux versions. |
|
|
|
|
|
| toaster popups as defult, i also think that the IRC interface needs to be rethought, make it a bit more like MIRC |
|
|
| Once I had problem changing password for my ICQ account. |
| nobody watches my avatar & status message |
|
| meh my msn and myspace im accounts occasionally disconnect themselves, but i think that's just on their respective ends, possibly from inactivity |
|
| Buddy list is not read sometimes due to broken encoding of unicode characters in xml. Bad encoding support for ICQ protocol. Offline messages are received in wrong encoding. |
|
| The Linux client sometimes has problems with the size of the message input window, making it too small. |
|
|
|
|
| notfivatonmessages can't read by all clients, crash with musictacker plugin,some other crashes |
|
| see above |
| In every version I've used, there are stability issues. Currently the 2.5.3 doesn't want to start on nor my PC or my sisters PC. Both running Windows Vista. This happened after a while though. |
|
|
|
| A plugin to enable the Facebook protocol already exists, but it would be much better if it was available in the stock installation... (Without that plugin, I'd try to find another, facebook-capable client.... Still, it would be a shame, since this is the only protocol not natively supported by Pidgin I have a need for, and I don't want to use 2 clients) |
|
|
|
|
| not really |
| Would like to have the update notification a bit less naggy - wait a week between pop-ups instead of coming up every time I start the program (unless it is a critical security update). Also, sometimes username info tooltips come up and stay present after I switch to other applications, but this may be a Windows issue rather than an application one. |
|
|
|
|
| Every now and then it takes a while for a new chat window to pop up for some reason. Also, I've had instances where people on the other end did not receive my messages and vice versa. |
|
|
|
| before login, status select? like available or always invisible ? |
| The frequent undelivered message in the MSN due to switchboard disconnects. |
| send a file still have an problem,sometime if i wanna send a file it will give me an error message |
|
|
|
|
|
| When coming out of away mode, the "I'm Away From My Computer" status message remains unless you explicitly remove it. |
|
| mmm... maybe an automatically upgrade mechanism, ohhh almost forgot another annoyance that i have, it's when you create a new account, i think that this process could be just in one frame we don't need a frame for each account, you can take a look in the way that you can create accounts in Empathy GNOME, they just use one frame for all the protocols |
| nothing yet. |
| maybe support for resume downloading with IRC would be nice :) |
|
|
|
|
|
| can not delete a lot of conatcts (msn or jabber). They appear on every login again and editing blist.xml manually doesnt help at all. 2.5.2 and older versions(from ubuntu repository) |
|
|
|
|
|
| Sometimes file transfer doesn't work although earlier it worked flawlessly |
| It seems like chat notifications frequently don't work...not sure if this is just me or a global issue. |
| - Copy/paste onto text box brings the formatting along with it and I always have to reset it afterwards - File choice dialogs and file transfer window UI is terrible. |
|
| better firewall tunneling or whatever it takes to be able to direct connect and send files reliably |
|
|
|
| i used to use pidgin all the time,but now i don't anymore.it seems like it doesn't show me all the IM's in real time, and i have to wait for a message for about 2 minutes to be shown.so i started to use gyache,which i really hate,but at least i can see what people are typing.i'm looking forward to know how to fix this problem.10x |
|
| I didn't know Pidgin was gaim until I happened to read the wikipedia article! Some former users of gaim would probably like to know that. |
|
|
|
|
| I'd like to see a little more testing before releases and/or more minor patch releases. A few of the past releases have been unstable (especially under windows). Now that you use a DVCS cutting a point release branch should be simpler, and much more doable than under SVN. |
|
|
|
| On my previous Ubuntu installation, pidgin crashed without a notice. It just quit. |
|
|
| bring back default/original protocol emoticon support. |
| Away/Available messages being saved with no way of deletion. |
|
| On Windows everytime I receive a new message in Pidgin the message-window opens in front of every other things, which is very annoying. I would like a feature like Kopete has it, where the task-icon changes when you receive a new message and displays it when you click on it (the icon). Maybe Pidgin allready has such a feature and I just didn't find the option to enable it, in that Case I'm sorry for bothering you. |
| better file transfers in generalmgr |
|
|
|
|
| Could you just fix the current windows issue that your working on so I can close it without having to kill the service? |
| Maybe an option to set a default client for meta-contacts. As in setting an MSN account as a default when clicking on someone's name to send them an IM. I do like the Send To function, but that's just one extra step each time to make sure you're sending to the correct account. |

|
| Buddy List title is not editable, it is too long in Russian and doesn't fit in title bar (some window decorators like Emerald have trouble wrapping long titles). The Change Status button (at the bottom) is too large. It is impossible to remove the Change Buddyicon button from the bottom panel, and the Change Status button text does not fit and is not readable. The status text area at the bottom takes additional space and lifts the whole bottom panel up and down for no use. The menu bar item names are too long to fit into a narrowed Buddy List window. "Tools" menu bar item is not accessible when the Buddy list window is narrow. The horrible screenshot is here: http://s43.radikal.ru/i100/0901/a1/99f71f5368dc.png |

| Yahoo!: Connection problems (sometimes Pigdin can't connect to my YM account) MSN: "Now playing" support (not a status message), improve buzzing (send buzz, shake window on receiving a buzz) Yahoo: Auto-login to Yahoo! Mail when click on "new email" message (in contact list window) or via accounts menu Google Talk: "Open Gmail inbox" option on accounts menu |
|
|
|
|
| better working with meta-contacts |
| better/easier way to customize the apearences e.g. colors, text size, fonts etc. |
| Yahoo, an account I used to have, tends to mess up my buddy lists my doubling up on everything. It's why I don't use it. |
|
| Sometimes the user information tooltip balloon gets stuck in the screen and I have to pass the mouse cursor over it to make it disappear. |
| Pidgin can not to add a new ICQ contact by nickname or ICQ number. This feature is very important for ICQ users, because very often only ICQ number is aviable. Of course, I want that it omission will be fixed. |
| All quirks/annoyances/problems can be fixed sooner or later. People who do not understand this - will die ;) |
|
|
|
| I'd like to move the friend icon back to its proper place next to the message input field. I've always used the buddy icon as an indication to who I am currently talking with, rather then the name. Moving it to the info bar and making it smaller have caused me to mistakenly talk to the wrong people many times thus far. I understand that some people disliked having a big buddy icon and prefer to have a smaller one or non at all - but please, dont forget about those who prefer a bigger icon. Please make it an optional feature. |
|
|
| 2.5.3 has the "you can't quit Pidgin" major bug. switching back to 2.5.2 is fine. |
|
|
| Emoticon Resizing, sometimes it causes a crash on my pidgin |
| no |
|
|
| I rarely use file transfer, image embedding, dragging images into conversations, and the like, but whenever I do, it's a major hassle. The file transfer doesn't start until I do a direct IM and do it again, the client crashes, etc. Older versions were unusable in this regard, modern versions work, but barely. When pasting text, formatting is always changed for subsequent messages, which is annoying. |
| show what is now playing not through plugin Skype voice support |

|
| For some reason certain buddys from other countries must contiually be approved every time they log on. There is proably a fix for this as I have not looked. |
|
|
| Set separate statuses for different protocols. Jabber invisibility mode (I know that unsupported by default XMPP, but invisibility is very useful.) Maybe more jabber support. Interface problems with access to differet features. |

|
| 32-bit Vista sees quite a few crashes after one of the following actions is performed after a bit of a lengthy on-time: switching tabs, ctrl+f |
|
|
| password encryption; possibility to see, which encryption/security is in use (e.g. ssl etc.) |
| I have an charset problem and can't solve it. (Only in ICQ) |
|
| Better integration with msn comments (when changing status with the tray bar icon the comment dissapears..) |
|
|
| When I log into my google-apps chat (i.e. gmail for my domain) I get popup asking me if I'm willing to accept the certificate everytime. If you're going to show me the warning, at least allow me to permanently accept the certificate. I want to be able to show offline buddies for only one account rather than all or nothing. Improving the buddy list management in general would be helpful. The way that accounts are managed - added, turned on, turned off, etc. - is not user friendly at the moment. I understand it, but I am a software engineer with lots of technical background. "Enable/Disable" should be "Sign on/Sign off". The screens where you enter in information are ok, but the rest of the work flow needs more polish. |
|
| Faster MSN file transfer. |
| The Auto Merge feature |
|
| Pidgin on mac is a nightmare. Pidgin 2.5.3 is surprisingly unstable in Vista considering the time that went into this release. Sending files, something that Gaim/Pidgin has been doing for years, is still hit or miss. Even to another Pidgin client It'll fail. Or rather it jsut hangs with no feedback. Yes I've submitted bug reports on this, but I'm angered that I never get a specific reason why a file transfer will fail. |
|
|
|
|
| 1. I don't like using tabs for talking to people. However, I have a lot of IRC channels open at once. I would like it if pisgin could automatically put all my IRC channels into one tabbed window and give everything else a separate tab. 2. I think way too much screen area is used up for the tabs, especially so when you only have a single tab in a window. 3. I'm not sure if there is anything that can be done about this, but buddy icons seem really small. When one of my friends sets their buddy picture, I would like to be able to see a larger version of it. I may be wrong, but I think the icons used to be larger. 4. The spellchecking is nice, but it would be helpful if I could change the language, preferably on a per-conversation basis. If not, then at least being able to easily change the language for all windows at once would be useful. |
|
|
|
| My biggest quibble with the direction of Pidgin (I mean, I recognize that the Pidgin team can do what they want and that there is no "correct answer") is that it wants to treat all of my accounts - different AIM accounts, gtalk, yahoo, etc as the "same person." The only reason I have different accounts is so that I can one for "family" and another for "friends" and another for "coworkers." So to have a UI that lets me see that separation - a difference in when I want to be visible and a difference in how I communicate - would be hugely valuable to me. Could we have a plugin for this? Pretty please? |
| Password encryption should be more "solid"... i noticed it was very easy to find out account details with a linux live-cd, truth is I haven't checked since, so it's probably already fixed, but it kinda' annoyed me... |
|
|
|
|
| There are only two (2) things that annoy me: 1) The most serious one is the file transfer issue. 99% of my buddies stubbornly use MSN and everytime I need to send/recieve a large file I have to switch to the ugly default client, since the Pidgin transfer is super slow. I do on the other hand understand it's not an easy thing to "hack" the file xfer protocol of MSN. My remaining buddies use ICQ and GoogleTalk and for some reason file transfers with GTalk don't work at all (I was hoping it would go fine since it's XMPP, but it appears there are some internal differences). As for ICQ it worked great with one buddy and didn't work at all with another one. So in general, if you could fix the file transfers I would be happy as a clam! =) 2) Occasional disconnects. Sometimes Pidgin disconnects from MSN, which the default client never does. Would be great to have that fixed, but it's not that big of a deal. |
| Buddy-list menubar is very big in some languages (i.e. russian). It's better replace it with icon-like menu. |
|
|
| nope |
|
| new icq-account: pidgin asks for a name, but effectivly wants the uin. better compatibility with german umlauts äöüß with speciific clients. startup-script/login support for irc, some server-specific /commands do not work (gamesurge eg) |
|
|
| Would like to make it easier to disconnect/reconnect without restarting the program. |
| Sometimes when I use Ctrl+W to close a few tabs a message window, the whole program will quit. This happens on Ubuntu 8.10. |
|
|
| - Easier access to certain configuration options would be nice. - No (intuitive) access to multi-user chats is currently implemented. - Input areas have zero or half height before typing, and not the one defined in settings. I consider that a bug. - A way to specify a user-defined location for chat-logs is wanted. |
|
|
|
|
| - this is a GNOME bug, but it's most annoying with pidgin: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=346162 - why do you handle GoogleTalk different from XMPP? Are there any differences? If not, we shouldn't support Google's brand. -skype-chat support would be nix (of course without the need to run any propreitary/binary-only stuff |
|
| - Compatibility with the new Windows Live Messenger Beta client's file transfer (I never received the file transfer requests from someone using the latest beta) |
|
|
| Hotmail signs in when I select "offline" as my status. |
| Can't think of any. |
| When you have transparency on and you have multiple chat tabs and you move one tab left or right, the chat window switches to transparency mode and doesn't switch back until you click off of the window and back on. OS: Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] (SP2) |
| Redesign of the ugly Display name/icon bar in the conversation window. |
|
| just updated to 2.5.3 and it will not shut down. I've been having to force it to close. I guess that should be a bug report, but I'm not quite that savvy. Also don't know what my problem is, but file transfers are unusably slow. did not have this problem when I used MSN, but I put up with it. |
|
|
| finally fix the unicode problems -- contrary to what you always claim, unicode doesn't work properly in pidgin. even if you use unicode-compatible fonts (like arial unicode ms), some characters still don't display correctly for some reason. also, something like "dynamic font switching" should be implemented -- i don't want to switch to different fonts every time i chat with people in russian, german or japanese. |
| Update announcements when you open pidgin, so that you don't have to go onto the website all the time to see if there's a new version out, would be cool. Often being told in bold angry red writing that there was an error with the switchboard, even though my messages do get through sometimes. Annoyance. |
| I tend to crash fairly often when attempting direct connect on AIM on Windows Vista 32-bit with Pidgin 2.5.3 I also would like the ability to switch accounts in an IM screen if you have multiple accounts on the protocol. (was available in previous versions of GAIM) |
| Regular disconnects (tends to happen when using a lot of bandwidth) |
|
| I just hope video and voice support will be added soon. |
|
| I continually get messages regarding a user not on the server-side buddy list, but he is. Unsure as to why this is going on. Happens with my MSN account. I always have to click "No" to not add him to server side (I logged on with the real MSN client and he was there 10 times). |

|
|
| Windows Vista Buisness 64bit (Runs Fine Except) I believe this are global problems. -When someone signs on/off i have to move the buddy list (scroll up/down) or the list appears broken in some areas with duplicate names where the names have shifted by the screen hasn't refreshed. - Sometimes when I click the chat window, it won't respond or let me type until I click the task bar window of the list. -Icons for people are sort of big, on an a 14.1" laptop screen. Its not the text, its the big status icon beside it. EASYFIX: When chat window is in background and a message is received, the flashing window shows the current window name (the current tab selected) in the taskbar. It would be nice to see the name of the person who sent you the new message flashing in the task bar. |
| When you save an animated smiley, it loses its animation. As far as I know, it's a problem with GDK or the library you use for manipulating images. I was waiting for you guys to add support for sending custom smileys, and was a bit disappointed when I found out that Pidgin screws up animated gifs. Please fix that. Other than that, everything's cool. |
|
|
| crashes more frequently as of late. haven't really taken any time to find out why. (in ubuntu linux) |
|
|
| File transfer, of all kinds, really sucks on Pidgin. I like to send pictures and files, I have pidgins ports forwarded, and everything set up properly, but I find that file sharing rarely works, and this is when I am transferring to people who I know are also properly configured. This includes the imbedding of photos into IMs; this NEVER works. |
|
| Yahoo Users not being able to do certain things with people using Pidgin. |
| smile menu speed-up (lags are VERY annoying); layout switch while typing (all or only selected text) by hotkey; availability to set 200x200px avatar (i used R&Q as ICQ client when i was under Windows, this resolution is supported by server, if picture is 7kb and less); ICQ xStatus support |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| myspace client crashes with wrong password. yahoo client cannot be found. |
|
|
| it will go crash when i display non standard character |
| I would like to see exclusions from the friends list view. For example, say one of my friends is always hidden, I would like to be able to show that friend no matter what criteria i have selected for the sorting/viewing opetions. |
| The Windows builds leak like a sieve... Not sure if Pidgin or GTK is to blame, but the VM usage gets pretty ridiculous pretty fast. |
|
|
| I have often to beg for reauthorize again after some time. |
|
|
| Make interface more Adium-like: simple and usable. More visual effects (probably Compiz bindings) |
| Better QA for new versions. As an example the current issue when closing pidgin 2.5.3 on Windows platforms. |
| It may be that some optional plug-ins could be part of basic distribution, i.e. to be available out-of-the-box. |
| Sometimes I have trouble sending files to friends using AIM. It works some of the time. I've only had trouble sending, not receiving. It just gets a little annoying sometimes because it forces me to have to take a different route to send it. It gets a little embarrassing too, because I promote free and open software so much and my friends snicker when it doesn't work. |
| On occasional startups, Pidgin will lock up and I will be forced to manually end the process and restart. Other than that, perfect program. |
|
|
| Most of them related to msn protocols and servers. |
