Quite n00bish / Upgrade Adium & Move contact list

Post by Fortius »

Well Im a Mac newbie so bare with me :) I have two quite basic Adium problems.

The first isnt a real problem. Im just interested when upgrading from 0.77 to 0.82 do I just install the new version after deleting the old and the data will be stored in the Library so it all works or?

The second question is a problem. I cant seem to move my contact list anywhere. Why could this be?

Thanks :)

1. if you copy the new adium to the Aplications folder (/Applications) it will ask you if it can replace the older version. Replace it.
All your data will be kept.

2. This probably has something to do with the borderless contact list. I think pressing one of the modifier keys (ctrl; alt; command; shift) while dragging your window will help.

Command + drag did it. Thank you so much :)

To prevent confusion: it was cmd+drag in .77. .82 should be just drag. Cmd+drag is now used for rearranging/meta-ing.
