That's odd; parts of the batch file (finding the Pidgin installation directory and the configuration directory) are certainly not working the way that they should be. Which version of Windows are you using? I've updated the pidgin.bat text at http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/TipsForBugReports#PreemptiveDebugLogging - hopefully that should work better for you now. -D _______________________________________________ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
