Hello Hans,



While working on Jitsi-OTR plugin and otrfileconverter , I noticed the
problem when converting to Jitsi is due to a mistake in jitsi.py script.
Otrfileconverter attempts to put Jabber in  most instant messaging
client like GoogleTalk, Facebook, ICQ and others.

So, the exported line is written  this way (ex for gmail account):

net.java.sip.communicator.plugin.otr.Jabber_user1_gmail_com_gmail_com_publicKey
= ...

while it should be like this

net.java.sip.communicator.plugin.otr.Google_Talk_user1_gmail_com_gmail_com_publicKey
= ...

I tried to fix the problem and it works well.

Now Another thing, I wonder why otrfileconverter should check if the
configuration file in the Homefolder of the exported format exists or
not? it should be created instead.


All bests,
