pidgin not displaying inline images

Hi everyone,

I'm using pidgin for whatsapp and telegram using:
https://github.com/hoehermann/purple-gowhatsapp
https://github.com/majn/telegram-purple

whenever an image is sent in either chat I get a prompt to accept a file transfer with the image, instead of displaying the image inside the chat(the default behavior at least for whatsapp).

I wonder if I'm missing ause flag for pidgin:

Code: Select all

t14 ~ # emerge pidgin -pv
 * Last emerge --sync was 57d 8h 55m 51s ago.

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

if not any idea what I'm doing wrong?

thank you for sharing that, I've checked the auto accept plugin but it' sdisabled, I also tried to check if there is any setting that accepts image transfers but I'm not finding it enabled anywhere

I've finally gotten it to work, seems I was missing the jpeg use flag on the gdk-pixbuf package, it's working now at last.

thanks everyone
