4 Installation and configuration
5 ==============================
6 Copy qip-decoder.dll or qip-decoder.so to pidgin plugins directory on Windows,
7 or to /usr/lib/purple-2 directory on Linux.
8 In plugin settings Tools/Plugins (Ctrl+U) enable the QIP Decoder plugin.
10 Version 1.3 allows to set codepage independently for each one contact.
11 For this to work, you must create file qips.xml in
12 C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application data\.purple directory on Windows,
13 or in ~/.purple on Linux.
15 Example: Most of your contacts have QIP and use codepage # 1250. Howewer, your
16 contact 111222333 has QIP and is using codepage # 1252. Next contact 222333444
17 has Pidgin and writes in Russian (it corresponds to the codepage # 1251).
18 This contact requires disabling the QIP Decoder, which would corrupt cyrillic by
21 <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>
23 <default enabled='1' codepage='1250' />
24 <qip uin='111222333' enabled='1' codepage='1252' />
25 <qip uin='222333444' enabled='0' />
30 Source code is now available from http://www.sedaha.cz/qip-decoder/ .
34 Please follow the official Pidgin plugin instructions
35 http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/CHowTo/BasicPluginHowto and the section PLUGINS
36 in README file (in Pidgin source).
38 Simply, it says, you have to
40 * download and unpack Pidgin source, then
42 * copy qip-decoder.c source file into /usr/src/pidgin-X.X.X/libpurple/plugins directory and
43 * make qip-decoder.so.
