Lock ‘n’ Roll 1.1
A stunning update to Lock ‘n’ Roll 1.0.1, this version includes the following changes:
- New: LNR restores statuses that it replaces when the workstation locks
- Bugfix: LNR no longer replaces Unavailable, Offline, or Invisible statuses
- Misc: Documented the source code
- Misc: Updated URLs to point to the specific LNR category at my site
Thanks to O. D. for submitting a patch to accomplish the new feature and the bugfix!
Download locknroll-1.1.zip, source and binary included. To install, copy “locknroll.dll” to the Pidgin plugins directory. To activate it, restart Pidgin and go to the Tools menu, select Plugins, and tick the checkbox next to “Lock ‘n’ Roll”
It works, thanks again!

P.S.: Captain Nitpick would like to point out that the source code still calls it version “1.0.1″ in the PurplePluginInfo…

[...] Lock ‘n’ Roll is a pet project of mine: a Pidgin plugin (tested against versions 2.5 and 2.6) that will set your accounts’ status to Away with a user-defined message when the workstation is locked. Now Pidgin sets my ONWNC account to Away when I lock my workstation – as well as my other two accounts – and no one messages me expecting an immediate reply. I hate to disappoint people like that.

Yeah, I tried to install the plugin 3 times thinking the install wasn’t taking because of the version info. I thought maybe I has downloaded the wrong file or was doing something wrong. I look forward to v1.1.1 just for peace of mind.

Seeing the error “RegisterClassEx failed” when trying to enable the plugin. Anyone have ideas of what could be causing this error?
