crush after 3 image-deleting

So the problem conflicting image-deleting function:
I just 
1. open a conversation
2. type $$a$$ $$b$$ $$c$$ -->send. type $$a$$ $$b$$ $$c$$ -->send
3. close conversation
4. reopen conversation
5. type $$a$$ $$b$$ $$c$$ -->send. type $$a$$ $$b$$ $$c$$ -->send
6. After 3 Time  I get this:

(16:42:40) pidginTeX: Clearing imgstore.
(16:42:40) imgstore: retrieved image id 12
(16:42:40) imgstore: retrieved image id 11
(16:42:40) imgstore: retrieved image id 10
(16:42:40) imgstore: retrieved image id 9
(16:42:40) imgstore: retrieved image id 8
(16:42:40) imgstore: retrieved image id 7
(16:42:40) g_log: purple_imgstore_unref_by_id: assertion `img != NULL' failed 


Solution 
in Function deleting_conv(PurpleConversation *conv)

after: g_list_free(imageref);
add: imageref = NULL;

Because this is the "constructor" for a new G_list.

I think PidginTex is now much better then 2 mouth ago .

I hope you can make this compatible with this history plugin.
Have Fun.

problem with pidgintex and mimetex.exe

Hello, in order to encode latex on pidgin I followed the steps below
depending on your site to download the  pidginTex plugin(version 1.1.0)
and I, therefore, first installed in C: \ WINDOWS the mimetex.exe file and
then installed the plugin (for windows of course), I got it then select the
menu in the software pidgin but as soon as I enter a code in latex pidgin
on my discussions (in the XMPP protocol in any case)then the program stops
and I receive an error report (I'm sorry but I think I can not copy and
paste this report) .
If however you feel able to decrypt this report an error I can try to
provide it to you to tell me so (I have to make several copies of the
screen and collect the sample). Thank you for help me .

I did not even have a message from the software 's warning that mimetex is
not recognized, but I think but I' m not sure that the path of access to
the mimetex.exe is not well defined for pidgin.

Send images via custom smilies.

A very much appreciated feature (at least by me, but probably more people) 
would be the ability to split a rendered image into custom smilies and send 
those. The msn protocol allows for at least 100x100px smilies so that should 
be doable.

no newline using '\\'

What steps will reproduce the problem?
writing multi-line formulas 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
In LaTeX, the '\\' command should create a new line, but the plugin 
doesn't respond to it. The only way to create a new line is to do it 
manually, using strg+Enter. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
PidginTeX 1.0.4; Pidgin 2.4.3; Ubuntu 8.04

Please provide any additional information below.

mathtex not found (anymore)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Just type $$somelatex$$ and send it.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
No image gets rendered, pidgintex complains about that mathtex is not found.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version 1.0.4, make DEBUG=1, ubuntu hardy 8.04, pidgin from the ubuntu
packages.

Please provide any additional information below.
DEBUG=1 just shows the messages, when I type "mathtex" in console, the
program is found and it outputs the help message. The problem occured very
unexpectedly, I did not change the path of mathtex or anything else. But I
guess pidgin was updated by ubuntu, maybe there's the problem?

Some outputs:

Warn user if purple was unable to send image

In order to send images you need to be in direct IM mode, but even if you
aren't Pidgin won't warn you that your image wasn't didn't reach the other
user. 
The rest of the message still seems to be sent though.

Apostrophes not correctly displayed

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Typing something like $$f''(x)$$ just displayed as $$f(x)$$ instead of f
with two primes.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
ArchLinux
pidgintex 1.0.6-1
mathTeX 1.01

Please provide any additional information below.

On console, the command
  mathtex "f''(x)" -o eq1
produces the correct output gif.

LaTeX messages are shown twice in sender window when "send image in IM" is enabled

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. enable "send image in IM" in the pidginTeX configuration dialog
2. send an IM message with a LaTeX expression

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The whole message including the rendered latex is correctly displayed in
the IM window in the usual form:
  (TIMESTAMP) SENDERNAME: MESSAGE
Now, oddly enough, it is also additionally displayed on top of that
"normal" message line in bold red font in the form:
  (TIMESTAMP) MESSAGE
This weird additional line only appears when pidginTeX's "send image in IM"
option is activated. Please see the attached screenshot.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Using Pidgin 2.5.8 with pidginTeX-1.1.1-DEBIAN-i386.so on Ubuntu Karmic.

[feature request:] Properly vertically align the rendered LaTeX images to the rest of the message line

When an IM message includes both pindginTeX-rendered LaTeX as well as
normal text, the baselines of the LaTeX output images are aligned to the
baseline of the text. This doesn't look too good when fractions, integrals,
sums etc. are used resulting in an image considerably higher than the
normal text line (see first screenshot attached below).

In almost all such cases, vertically aligning the middle of the images to
the middle of the text would already be a great improvement over the
current situation.

Also, apparently it must be possible to somehow obtain the exact vertical
offset for the LaTeX output images in order for the logical text base lines
to be exactly aligned, as for example the application "LyX" seems to do
that (see second screenshot). (Maybe you can even just take the code from
the LyX sources...)

If that's not feasible, please at least "vertical-align:middle" the images...

I don't know why the log try to write the message 2 times into log.

Mimetex.exe takes 50% CPU

I'm not sure what caused it, but I think it might have something to do with 
the history plugin and having LaTeX in the previous conversation. I've just 
installed Pidgintex yesterday and it's very cool, but sometimes when I open 
up a conversation with someone pidgin locks up and I find that mimetex.exe is 
eating up one CPU core. This also happened once after waking up my computer 
from sleep mode in Vista. I'll try to get some more information about it as 
it happens more. I did change the setting to send the image in the message, 
so maybe it has something to do with not being able to actually embed the 
image, but that shouldn't have anything to do with mimetex?

no latex formulas in chat window (but visible in history)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Enter formula
2. nothing visible in chat

Whenever I enter formula, nothing visible in chat window, so it looks like
problem in pidgin itself. But if I close chat window and open it again I
can see formulas in history!!! so everything works when it's taken from
history, but it's not working during conversation.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

I've tried 2.6.3 and 2.6.4 versions of pidgin. This is pidgintex-1.1.1.

Note that I have similar problem in pidgin-latex, so it definitely looks
like pidgin problem. But I'm unsure where should I dig next...

ABI mismatch

Hi,

was trying out your plugin but I have some kind of mismatching.
I'm using Ubuntu 7.10 and Pidgin 2.2.1 an the newest version of pidgintex
I also have mimetex installed.

I copied the .so file to /usr/lib/purple and the plugin appears in the
pluginmenu of Pidgin but if I try to activate it it says:

"ABI version mismatch 2.3.x (need 2.2.x)"

(I've translated it from german)

I actually don't know what it means nor what I can do to fix it.

Any hints?



PS: I also tried to compile it myself but this error message confuses me
even more than the first one ^^

$make
Package pidgin was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `pidgin.pc'

Problem with "\\" in LaTeX code

I use the PidginTex 1.0.5 plugin with mathTeX 1.0.1 on ArchLinux.
Whenever I use the latex newline comman "\\", the Problem occurs.
e.g. 
$$ \begin{pmatrix} a \\ b \end{pmatrix}$$
should produce something like
( a )
( b )
Instead I get 
( a b )

The problem also occurs when using mathtex itself:
> mathtex "\begin{pmatrix} a \\ b \end{pmatrix}" 
produces an image looking like above, the logfile says that it received 
    \begin{array}{cc} a & b \ c & d \end{array}

But it works when I use single quotes:
> mathtex '\begin{pmatrix} a \\ b \end{pmatrix}'

Replacing Line 155 in pidginTeX.c
"\"%s\" -m 0 \"\\png\\usepackage{color}\\color{%s}%s\\%s %s %s\" -o %s",
by 
"\"%s\" -m 0 '\\png\\usepackage{color}\\color{%s}%s\\%s %s %s' -o %s",

solved the problem for me.

conflict with conversation color plugin (from purple plugin pack)

I use the conversation color plugin from the purple plugin pack to tweak the 
colors of the incoming and system messages. However if that plugin is enabled 
pidgintex does not display the rendered images. If I start pidgin, disable the 
conversation color plugin and enable it again, everything works again. So it 
seems that the conversation color plugin must be loaded after pidgintex. Is 
there any way to assure this happens?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start pidgin with conversation color plugin and pidgintex enabled.
2. Type some TeX code and see that the rendered image is not displayed.
3. Disable conversation color plugin and re-enable it.
4. Images are rendered.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

– purple-plugin-pack 2.6.3
– pidgintex 1.1.1
– Both Arch Linux packaged.

Sending image as custom smiley?

Dear developers of pidginTeX,

Thank you very much for making this great plugin.

I'd like to bring forward one feature desire.

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to send the rendered images using the custom
smiley feature of Pidgin for MSN?

Then your messenger friends will be able to read your rendered math with
their ordinary client. At least personally, it will be very great.

I'd also like to try adding the feature myself, if you recommend that; not
knowing sure whether I could succeed. :)

Request: Send image via Attachment

Hi,
thus the direct-sending of images is only available in ICQ-direct-connect
it would be very nice if you made it possible to send the image via
pidgin's send-file function.
Of course it's better if both sides have the plugin enabled, but often the
other ones have real ICQ or whatever and it's annoying to always render and
send the image per hand.

btw: Good work, love the plugin. Maybe you should host a .deb package for
the new ubuntu/debian users who can't copy the file by hand...
and maybe it will be included in future releases... hope so.
best regards.
