Description Will Thompson 2012-06-18 15:13:47 UTC 
With Empathy 3.4.2.1 (Debian), choose Contact → Send File, or drag a file into the conversation window. Nothing happens. The debug log shows this:

FT from empathy-chat is meant to be disabled because of bug #640513

I guess I accidentally re-enabled it in 3.4 when refactoring some code.

We only support requesting FT channel in the same process as the FT handler.

it's sad to not support this, but since it does not work anyway, +1.
