How to delete saved Away Messages

zdziedziak@gmail.com · Tue Jan 25, 2005 3:08 am

This might be a dumb question, but I have made alot of saved away messages that I no longer use, but cant figure out how to delete them. (I have about 20 saved at this point, which is a bit excessive, so I want to delete most of them)

Thanks

In Prefs --> Status pane --> Away tab, just select each message that you don't want, and hit Delete or click the minus symbol beneath the list.

Ahem... this isn't the Adium forums. Please post THERE in the future.

Moving this for now...

For some weird reason I managed to add a new status 'Available'. Now I have two identical options in my status menu:

This second Available isn't listed in Prefs -> Status, hence I can't remove it the 'normal' way. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Is there one setting of 'available' in the preferences? If so delete that one. There is the default status 'Avalable" and your custom status of "Available". Only your custom status is appearing in the preferences.... at least thats what i THINK...

No, there are only two custom statuses listed in the preferences -> status

db, have you been playing with 1.0svn?

No, just the latest release (0.87 or so)

Show a screen shot of your status preferences, please.

Hm. Very odd. Could you please post your Saved Status.plist file, located at:
~/Library/Application Support/Adium 2.0/Users/Default User/Saved Status.plist

Thanks.

Couldn't find a way to attach file so I just posted the content of the XML. Hope it is ok.

Your Saved Status.plist just has the saved away and invisible states you show in your shot, not an extra Available one.

Have you made modifications to your Adium application bundle? Please redownload the app and see if the problem continues, as the only way I can figure out this could happen would be if your Default Statuses.plist in the Adium bunlde were modified.
