Hi...

I was wondering if you can clone adium x because I have multiple screen names but I don't want the contacts to be merged onto the same buddy list. Can you clone adium x like how in aim+ you can clone aim?

thank you.

Just make a new group (Contact --> Add group) and then move the users from different accounts to specific groups. Then theres no need to clone Adium.

well ... what I was trying to do ... is that i wanted to set only one of my screen names away, while the other remained active. Is it possible to do that without setting both accounts with an away message?

- thanks

Why not just connect one account at a time then? Its pretty simple.. Just start up Adium while holding down shift, and then select the accounts you want online in the File-menu.

You can do this by going to the Status menu and highlighting each individual account at the bottom. From there you can set individual Away messages, etc. for each account.
