Is Digsby missing the concept of “Soon”? At least give some alpha versions to test with Linux and Mac! Even pre-alpha versions.

We really just want to see that Digsby is listening the the users and is actually working to get the messenger running in Linux and Mac. Wine really doesn’t count, because I’ve had nothing but trouble trying to get Digsby running through Wine (now Wine 1.0 RC2) and I think we all want to see a native Digsby client now!

Linux build please, or at the very least a version that works in wine.

Love the new update, but there are a couple things that I have run into that I would love to see done in digsby

1. Option to allow digsby to auto-adjust the height of buddy list to fit all the users in the list .. up to 75% of the screen height

2. Google Talk file transfers … i hate having to open google talk just to allow someone to transfer me a file.

Oh hey it looks like addresses get linkified in the Buddy Info window now too. Don’t know how long this has been in, but thanks!

@Jason – There have been enough requests for this enhancement that we decided to add it and there is a ticket in the system to do it. However, we try to prioritize the most requested items first, which is why it hasn’t been done yet. But, it will bubble up to the top of the to-do list after the RAM usage issue is resolved, remaining connectivity bugs are fixed, and group chat is added. In the meantime, you do have the option to make new conversations not take focus so they at least start minimized instead of popping up. I know it is not a solution to your issue but it is less intrusive than having the IM window pop up. We are pushing hard to fix bugs and make the requested enhancements as quickly as possible.

After trying to install the update, the following error occurred.

Error Code 2
Critical error in restoring digsby.exe
Try renaming digsby.cloe to digsby.exe. A reinstall might be needed.

The system cannot find the file specified.

I then changed the digsby.clone to digsby.exe and the program appeared to work correctly.

Just a note to anyone who has ran into this problem.

OS: Windows Vista Business with UAC activated.

Hi there, first let preface this by saying that I am also a programmer of software. I also want to apologize for being really forward with this, but it seems like you respond to everyone on here except for me, so this is the only way to get your attention. With that being said:

I suggested this a while back, while the program was still beta. You said you were going to add the feature, and the fact that the program is still without the feature is still the ONLY reason I use Trillian.

A good portion of the people using Digsby use IM clients at work and school. Whenever you get a new instant message in Digsby, the IM pops up in the taskbar. Sometimes professors and bosses walk around and can see what’s on your screen. This is why you need an option for new IMs to appear in the system trey, rather than the taskbar.

While I’ll agree that Digsby is hands down better than Trillian, it’s attention to details that make for a good program. You can keep pushing updates with all the server tweaks, bug fixes, and optimization code you want — but what people really want is NEW options.

I’ve seen close to 15 updates since I’ve downloaded Digsby months ago, and for the most part your “preferences” menu has remained the same.

There’s probably a couple of thousand people who use Trillian over Digsby just because of the fact that you wont take 5 minutes our of your time to include the option of a simple checkbox that reads “Hide new IM conversations in the system trey”.

I’m sure you know how to.. so why NOT do it, man?
