Winapp2.ini Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Not me of course, the file. I wrote a little extension to clean out Pidgin icons a while ago, just because they're junk (if anyone wants it, i'll put it at the end of this post) I never run it though, as I believe it conflicts with pidgin while it runs, and i always have pidgin running. AS it turns out,connecting to the Facebook IM with pidgin caches ALL your friends profile pictures. This was the result (I noticed an incredibly long time lapse whilst copying files from my now corrupt system ) http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g59/kens...pidginicons.png heres the winapp2.ini extension by the way [~Pidgin icons]LangSecRef=3022DetectFile=%ProgramFiles%\Pidgin\pidgin.exeDefault=TrueFileKey1=%UserProfile%\Application Data\.purple\icons just something I noticed, thats /quite/ a lot of files, though they dont take up much room. winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireryone Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 That's a lot of friends you have winapp fireryone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winapp2.ini Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 It caches all their pictures, so (and specifically with Facebook IM) if they change it, it saves another. Thus over an extended period of time, if you have 200 friends who change their default picture of buddy icon 5 times in the course of a month or two, you have 1000 files. winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireryone Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 yea I thought that might have been why, but inferring 8,000+ friends sounded like a better comment fireryone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
