It's not a problem with this plugin, but xmpp implementation in Pidgin, that 
doesn't support images.

In MSN-pecan, I can send screenshot as HTML (imgur), maybe in FTP (I don't have 
one to check it), send as image is gray, if I use Control+ALT+F in order to 
send a file, the file fails when the other accept.

In Windows 7 x64 pro.

i have "openfire" server and "spark" clients which have "send screenshot" 
option and it works well. if i can send a simple file, why plug-in can't take s 
screenshot and send it as simple file?
