Quoting malu: I think using BoB is not an option for IM images, since it's designed for small pieces of data, to avoid stream negotiating, etc.

I agree.

What XEP is prefer for sending images?

Changed 12 months ago by darkrain42

As the size of the image grows, move from BoB to IBB to SOCKS5 Bytestream (IBB is almost certainly good enough for everything), but such a solution needs to follow an XEP (which is not yet written) so that other clients know how to handle such an image (and Pidgin can determine if a specific buddy will support receiving images).
