I'm just getting home from the NFB convention, and as a very brief power outage at my home last Friday flipped out my router and caused me to lose access to mail from then until now, I had to catch up with a lot of emails I hadn't seen yet. I'll give brief answers to issues raised regarding Skype 4.1 and the 4.1 scripts in this message.
First, SkypeWatch not reporting your status changes: This was a bug, and I had not tested for it. I have fixed this for the next script release. Someone remarked that the Select Emoticon feature is no longer usable in the 4.1 scripts. It should be usable, but I have a mind to rewrite that command to use the actual emoticon names provided by Skype itself, thus allowing automatic localization. This is not done yet though. If Skype would implement the emoticon panel as a list instead of something you tab through, the script would no longer be needed at all. I have already brought that to Skype's attention as well. About finding out the last login time/date of a contact: Sadly we lost that a long time ago and have not gotten it back. I have mentioned that one but not pushed it nearly as hard as other things like access to voicemail from the keyboard. In technical terms, the MSAA AccHelp property for contacts was lost in 4.0 and did not come back in 4.1, and that property contained the last online info. I don't actually know if sighted people can get that information now. About the "unknown function call" messages when virtualizing chat messages: This was a problem in earlier beta script versions for Skype 4.1 but should be fixed in the latest beta version I made available. If someone is getting this in beta3, please let me know. At least one person reported having difficulty getting back to the Contact list after ending a call. If Ctrl+1 or Ctrl+2 doesn't work, try the other one and then the one you want. I have seen Skype require this sort of wake-up call from time to time. Finally, apologies to anyone whose inquiry I missed and which was not already answered by someone else. I have a few messages I am about to answer individually though. -- Doug Lee dgl at dlee.org http://www.dlee.org SSB BART Group doug.lee at ssbbartgroup.com http://www.ssbbartgroup.com "The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!'
