It would be nice to have the ImageIM plugin available for gaim. I'll attach an ebuild. ImageIM allows you to send screenshots from a gaim IM window. The image is uploaded to a server and only the link is transmitted directly. If the remote client has this plugin as well, the image will be displayed inline, otherwise a link will be displayed and the image can be viewd in the browser. According to the sourceforge bug list, this plugin does not work with gaim-encryption.
Created attachment 60850 [details] gaim-imageim-0.9_beta.ebuild This ebuild compiles imageim. It uses the configured gaim-1.3.0 source tree for this. I'm not too happy about hardcoding this version into the ebuild, but did not know how to do better.
Yeah I hate stuff like this. I would ask the upstream author to get an autotools setup going. Having to unpack the entire gaim tree just for a plugin is a bit of a pain.
Done that... http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1217182&group_id=131067&atid=722130
Please re-open if a version of this plugin that works with pidgin is released.
