Thanks Eion, but unfortunately in some cases Pidgin makes the wrong choice, and
the fact that the user cannot override/customize it is a deficiency that should
be addressed.
Is there no plugin that allows for more flexibility?

Hi Alex,
You might find

to be helpful. You can drag buddies around in a Contact in order to
prioritise them, but the precedence of which one gets highest
priority is controlled within Pidgin.
Cheers, Eion

Hello,
I would like to set protocol priority per buddy.
Here are some cases:
1) One of my contacts uses Jabber (desktop) and Hangouts (mobile).
When they are not available on Hangouts, their status is shown as
"Invisible" (this is the case with all my Hangouts contacts). When
they are inactive on Jabber, their status changes to "Extended away",
even though they are at the computer. Unfortunately, the Hangouts
"Invisible" status seems to take precedence, and I often end up
sending to the wrong device.
I would like to indicate that for that contact, the Jabber connection
always takes precedence over Hangouts unless it's offline.
2) Another contact uses Skype (desktop) and Hangouts (mobile).
Sometimes they forget to log out of Hangouts, but for some reason it
takes precedence over Skype, and again I end up sending to the wrong
device.
I would like to indicate that for that contact, the Skype connection
takes precedence over Hangouts when they are both available.
How can I do that?
Thanks, Alex.
