Bug Description

Binary package hint: pidgin

If you trying to set some image for baddy icon, you can get this message:
"The file '/home/lex/Bilder/grosser-schwertwal_470.jpg' is too large for XMPP. Please try a smaller image."

This message is useless for meany users, becouse it das not say how small should it be and how actually can i make this image smoller. For meany users this information will not help too, so the best thing is actually just scale an image automaticly.

Sounds similar to this issue which is already reported upstream.

I definitely agree, user should be warned of the size requirements so he can resize the image.

Thanks for this bug report

According to pidgin upstream bug #460 and #4273, this bug has been fixed in pidgin v.2.3.2. Pidgin should now stop to complain and just works, thanks to pidgin developers!
