kgraefe / pidgin-save-conv-order

This plugin saves the order of chats and IMs and restores it the next time you open a conversation.

Pidgin Save Conversation Order

Installation on Windows

For the binary version, extract all the contents of pidgin-save-conv-order in the ZIP file either to the installation directory of Pidgin (typically C:\Program Files\Pidgin) or to your .purple user directory (typically %APPDATA%\Roaming\.purple).

See below for how to compile the source code version into a binary ZIP file.

Installation on Linux

To install the plugin on Linux you need to extract a release tarball and compile it from source:

sudo apt-get install pidgin-dev
./configure
make
sudo make install

Note: By default the plugin will be installed to /usr/local. If you installed Pidgin through your package manager, it is most likely installed into /usr (i.e. which pidgin returns /usr/bin/pidgin). Use ./configure --prefix=/usr in this case.

Note: When you use the repository directly or one of those auto-generated "Source code" archives, you need to run ./autogen.sh before running ./configure.

Building on Windows

In order to build the plugin for Windows an already-compiled source tree of Pidgin is required. Please see the Pidgin for Windows Build Instructions for details.

After that you need to create a file named local.mak that points to the Pidgin source tree, e.g.:

PIDGIN_TREE_TOP=$(PLUGIN_TOP)/../../pidgin-2.10.11

Now you can build the plugin:

make -f Makefile.mingw

pidgin-save-conv-order's Issues

Release v1.1

Sorting Options

Use existing sort functions instead of it's own.

Maybe use Pidgin signal "conversation-displayed" instead of your own placement function (may flicker...)

doesn't work with IRC conversations

Tried it with IRC conversations. Doesn't work. Plugin is installed and enabled.

Work on activate

Until now it needs a restart of Pidgin to make the plugin work correctly
