Description Yuri 2008-01-29 01:28:02 UTC
Version:           0.12.7 (using 3.5.8, compiled sources)
Compiler:          Target: i386-undermydesk-freebsd
OS:                FreeBSD (i386) release 7.0-PRERELEASE

Some setting got corrupt and I regularly get this dialog showing zillion times.
Kopete shouldn't show the same modal dialog box more than once.

We need more detail please. Do you have any idea why it is showing you this? Or what buddy icon it is referrering to?
Comment 2 A. Spehr 2008-08-07 14:08:23 UTC
no reply, closing

please reopen if you have more information
Comment 3 Yuri 2008-09-25 03:54:43 UTC
I am still seeing the message.

Problem is that there is no obvious way to know which icon is in question.
Please add all details to this message: which user, which icon, (file name?), etc ... All information available.

Once the message is fixed and becomes informative problem will disappear by itself.

I found the same error here on my kopete 
(version 4:3.5.10-0ubuntu1~hardy2 )
The problem is your account image file is missing (or of size zero in my case).
The fix is  Settings >> Configure >> Account >> choose account >> Modify  >> Account Preferences >> Select Picture for the Buddy Icon >> choose another image/icon.
That should fix it.
Cheers :)

I think this message makes sense if there isn't a file there. Can this bug be closed? Or is there something else that ought to be going on here?
Comment 6 Yuri 2009-06-25 22:05:43 UTC
When the message is issued it should say which file doesn't exist and which menu item to go to to fix the problem.

Then the bug can be closed.
