> I suggest adding a button to dial from the contact list using skype Good idea, could maybe be generalised a bit though. Suggest logging a bug in http://bugzilla.gnome.org/ , requesting a "dial/chat" button next to each non-blank phone number / instant chat field, which dials the number / initiates an instant chat, using skype / ekiga / pidgin / or whatever the user has configured.
I.e. "dial from the contact list using skype" is one specific instance of "open a real-time communication channel with this person, using the appropriate method, based on their contact information in Evolution", so better to make it as general as possible from the start. Mark that bug as depending on http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=575321 , which is for adding skype + VoIP as valid Instant Messaging / Telephone types in the Contact editor. (On the question of VoIP against contacts, it does seem that there's a "Video Chat" field under Contact -> "Personal Information" -> "Web addresses" which supports callto:// urls ... but it's misnamed I think because it supports non-video VoIP; it's misplaced because it should be just another type of telephone number, listed with all the other types of phone numbers, instead of a "web address"; and it's not general enough because it doesn't allow for distinct work VoIP versus home VoIP; but I digress...) -- All the best, Nick. _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
