issue with Skype 5 during phone calls
I'm running the latest everything. When making a Skype call out to a phone line, or when receiving one, about five minutes or so into the call, the person I'm talking to reports that I start breaking up with an intermittent, regular clicking sound. Has anyone else experienced this or know what might be causing it? Thanks; have a great weekend! :) • Mark BurningHawk Baxter • AIM, Skype and Twitter: BurningHawk1969 • MSN: burninghawk1...@hotmail.com • My home page: • http://MarkBurningHawk.net/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: issue with Skype 5 during phone calls
Hello Mark. By the way, you have a superior first name, if I do say so myself. (Smile) I have not experienced any degradation in my Skype calls with the latest version of Skype.

The userinterface in Skype 5
Hi! I've heard a few people mentioning this, but what was or is the issue with the interface of Skype 5? I've heard about some bugs which users have found. But to me the interface is pretty easy to figure out and use. Actually (as far as I understand it) the interfaces in Windows and the Mac version of Skype is almost the same. Interestingly enough the way VOiceover shows the interface makes more cense to me than the same interface in Windows does... What do you think is wrong with the latest versions of Skype regarding the user interface?

Re: The userinterface in Skype 5
Hi Thomas. The only thing, I have difficulties with, is to make an conference, add people, and if the connection failes to add them again. Best regards Annie.

Re: The userinterface in Skype 5
Hi Thomas, I agree, I've no issues at all with the UI of Skype 5. I think the sighted people primarily complain because it doesn't look graphically appealing, something which I don't ever notice. Also, the way certain things are done changed a lot from Skype 2 to 5, and I can see some people not used to the new ways of doing things. I don't think it's as awful as it's been made out to be, though. Best, Zack. On May 10, 2011, at 1:44 PM, Thomas Byskov Dalgaard wrote: Hi!

Re: The userinterface in Skype 5
Hi Louie, ARe you referring to the total number of online Skype users? If so, I don't know of a way of getting this in version 5. I never really needed to know it, other than out of sheer curiosity.

Re: Skype 5 conferencing 101, (was Re: Making a Skype Conference: is it Possible?)
Hello. Thanks for your informative message. It certainly helped me a lot to understand how Skype conferencing works. Is it possible to set Skype up so there is some kind of permanent conference in place, and a number of people to be able to add themselves automatically there? Thanks. Nektarios.

Recently I've found it necessary to be involved in a lot of them, and it gave me a chance to really play around with Skype 5 conferencing. So I thought I'd chime in here. To make a new conversation, hit command-n, or go to file, new conversation. You will have a blank conversation. Now, hit command-shift-a or the add people button in the conversation window. You will see an edit field and a table here. Interact with the table to see your entire contact list, online contacts first. Hit enter or space on each person you wish to add to a conference. Alternatively, in the edit field, type the name of a person you wish to add. This can be a display name or a Skype name. So if you wanted to add me to a conference, you'd type Rose. The results of your search will show up here. So if you have Rose Kline and Rose Morales, you would then pick Rose Morales if you were going to invite me to your conference and not Rose Kline. Perform the same process for each contact you wish to add. Once a contact has been successfully added using the spacebar or enter key, their name will show up in the edit field as an embedded image. So if you're not sure which names you've selected, just read that edit field back to yourself. Anything that identifies itself as an image is a name you've added. Any text which is not an image will be something you're searching for in your contact list. Or at least Skype will assume so. When you finish selecting contacts and hit the done button, Skype will call each of the contacts you've added to a conversation. If you simply wish to add a person to a conversation without calling them, type /add and then a Skype username into the chat field of your conversation. You can separate multiple names with commas. If you wish to hang up on an individual person in the conference and you are the conference host, find the name of that person in the conversation. It may be before the scroll area or inside it. Vo-shift-m on their name and hit hang up. Additionally, please bear in mind that if the conference host hangs up, everyone will get hung up. A new person can host, but do not try to call each person individually. You must call the entire conference or no one at all. Only the master of a conference can kick people from a conference if everyone's rank remains unmodified. That is to say, if no one receives a promotion by the conference master. Helpers can also kick people but only if promoted to said level by a master. The master is the person who added people to a conversation, from what I gather. This can be different than the creator. Like, say I open up a message to Jeff. I'm the conference creator. Jeff adds Cara to the chat. Jeff is the master, because he added Cara. Only the master can promote people to the master rank level. For more information about the skype ranking system in conferences, type /help in any Skype chat window.

Re: Skype 5 conferencing 101, (was Re: Making a Skype Conference: is it Possible?)
A conference stays active for as long as people are in it. WIth the way Skype is structured, it's very easy to just stay in a conference. You don't have to close the conversation WIndows, and you'll be notified of new events. One thing you can do to make sure you always know where that conference is is to add it to your favorites or your bookmarks. Though if someone leaves, you'll have to add them in again. I'm not sure if adding a conference to your favorites makes sure they're always in it if you select that conference or not. You can add someone to your favorites or bookmarks from the conversation menu. I'm still half asleep, so sorry if that was a litle less thorough than usual.

Re: Skype 5 conferencing 101, (was Re: Making a Skype Conference: is it Possible?)
Hi, Rose, have you figured out how to add people who call you while you're in a conference to that conference, if you see what i mean?

Yes, in fact, you can add people to a conference. Just press the Add button and then interact with the table of contacts or else type a contact's name, When found, press return twice. That'll do it.

Re: Skype 5 conferencing 101, (was Re: Making a Skype Conference: is it Possible?)
Hi Rose, I think there's a reason why we've been seeing a lot of posts about the way Skype 5 works recently, including the thread Mike Busboom started about accessing the camera. A lot of people really don't like the new version. Here's a link to the recent article at TidBITS: Skype 5 for Mac: a Huge Step Backwards by Lukas Mathis (TidBITS April 2, 2011): http://tidbits.com/article/12088?print_version=1 I've linked to the print only version of the page (which includes links to images of the screen menus, but is text only). This is a really long article, and I've excerpted some of the main premises (but not all the details). The major premise is that Skype 5 is not only less flexible in its organization, layout, and operations for casual users, but it also offers less to advanced users, and now requires them to get all the information from a single window. HTH. Excerpt begins below my signature. Cheers, Esther begin quote A while back, when Skype’s group video chat feature was still free, a friend of mine sent me a Skype message asking whether it was possible to do video chat with more than one person in Skype. “Sure,” I replied, “you can do that, but you need to install the new Skype 5 beta.” I sent her the link. A few minutes later, she went offline, and came back shortly thereafter, apparently having updated to Skype 5. The first message she sent was: What the hell happened to Skype? Is this some kind of joke? Apparently, it is not. At work, we use Skype to communicate. A lot of the people here use Windows computers. More than once, a Windows user has walked by my Mac, seen my version of Skype, and said something to the effect of “Wow, this looks so much better than the horrible mess we have on Windows!” It seems Skype has noticed that there is a discrepancy in quality between the two versions, and has decided to make the two versions more similar. Unfortunately, instead of making the Windows version of Skype better, they’ve decided to fix the discrepancy by making the Mac version of Skype more like the Windows version. snip …I really don’t like Skype 5. [Editor’s note: And neither do we at TidBITS, which is why we’re republishing Lukas’s article. We were planning to write something very much along these lines, but he did such a good job that we didn’t see any reason to pile on independently. -Adam] The previous version of Skype was a very good piece of user interface design. In its initial state, it was extremely basic. This is what Skype used to look like: [image link] [1] It had a simple window showing a search field, a counter for unread notifications, and a list of your friends, with the ones who were currently online at the top. It was easy to understand, didn’t take much space so I could always keep it visible, and it showed me all the information I needed to know. Who’s online? Did I miss something? Is it okay to contact a friend, or does he not want to be disturbed? With an active chat, Skype used to look like this: [image link] [2] Again, simple and easy to understand, but still giving me everything I might need. I could add more people to the conversation, go back to earlier messages, or call people. But the previous version of Skype wasn’t just simple; it was also flexible enough for advanced users. snip Let’s fast-forward to Skype 5. This is what it looks like: [image link] [4] The sidebar on the left has a Contacts item and then a list of your chats. Clicking Contacts shows all your contacts in the main pane; clicking a past chat shows information about the chat (start and end time, and any text messages that went back and forth). Clicking a live chat shows the participants and any text or video associated with the chat. Immediately, there are problems with this. And not just problems for advanced users, but also problems for casual users. It’s Too Complicated for Casual Users -- The window no longer looks simple. Instead, it’s overwhelming. On the plus side, it’s now easier to add a new contact (not something you do that often), and I can decide whether to call somebody or start a chat by hovering over a contact. On the minus side… everything else. Since every Skype feature is crammed into a single window, that window feels overloaded. No longer do I see a simple list of contacts. Instead, I have a complex multi-paned window whose main pane shows entirely different things, depending on the application’s mode. No longer can I easily see who’s online. Instead, I probably see only the people I’ve talked to most recently, regardless of whether they’re online. More than once, I’ve waited for a friend to show up in the sidebar, expecting it to work like the old buddy list. It doesn’t. Unless you switch to the Contacts screen, which then causes Skype to show two lists of contacts next to each other (the past chat contacts in the sidebar and the Address Book contacts in the main pane), you don’t actually see who’s
Re: Skype 5 conferencing 101, (was Re: Making a Skype Conference: is it Possible?)
Ester, do you know where I may could find a dmg lying around anywhere of the old Skype version 2 that was so much better? If you can point me to it, I'd really rather install it. I mean, someone on list did help me earlier this evening on Skype with the layout, and now, it does make a fair amount more sense, but still... I'd really feel more comfortable using the old version I'm used to, if you know where to get it. Someone said it's still on the Skype web site, but is ever so slightly berried... not much though. If you can find it, would you kindly send me a link? Thanks. Oh, speaking of which, on another note entirely nonskype related: once I am in the body of an e-mail I'm reading, if it has a link in it like you'd send me for the skype dmg, if you find it, how then do I navigate over to the link and click it?

This is what it looks like: [image link] [4] The sidebar on the left has a Contacts item and then a list of your chats. Clicking Contacts shows all your contacts in the main pane; clicking a past chat shows information about the chat (start and end time, and any text messages that went back and forth). Clicking a live chat shows the participants and any text or video associated with the chat. Immediately, there are problems with this. And not just problems for advanced users, but also problems for casual users. It’s Too Complicated for Casual Users -- The window no longer looks simple. Instead, it’s overwhelming. On the plus side

A lot of people really don't like the new version. Here's a link to the recent article at TidBITS: Skype 5 for Mac: a Huge Step Backwards by Lukas Mathis (TidBITS April 2, 2011): http://tidbits.com/article/12088?print_version=1 I've linked to the print only version of the page (which includes links to images of the screen menus, but is text only). This is a really long article, and I've excerpted some of the main premises (but not all the details). The major premise is that Skype 5 is not only less flexible in its organization, layout, and operations for casual users, but it also offers less to advanced users, and now requires them to get all the information from a single window. HTH. Excerpt begins below my signature. Cheers, Esther begin quote A while back, when Skype’s group video chat feature was still free, a friend of mine sent me a Skype message asking whether it was possible to do video chat with more than one person in Skype. “Sure,” I replied, “you can do that, but you need to install the new Skype 5 beta.” I sent her the link. A few minutes later, she went offline, and came back shortly thereafter, apparently having updated to Skype 5. The first message she sent was: What the hell happened to Skype? Is this some kind of joke? Apparently, it is not. At work, we use Skype to communicate. A lot of the people here use Windows computers. More than once, a Windows user has walked by my Mac, seen my version of Skype, and said something to the effect of “Wow, this looks so much better than the horrible mess we have on Windows!” It seems Skype has noticed that there is a discrepancy in quality between the two versions, and has decided to make the two versions more similar. Unfortunately, instead of making the Windows version of Skype better, they’ve decided to fix the discrepancy by making the Mac version of Skype more like the Windows version. snip …I really don’t like Skype 5. [Editor’s note: And neither do we at TidBITS, which is why we’re republishing Lukas’s article.

The source list at the top of the screen, below the tool bar, contains all the events that occur; find it, interact with it and you'll see the information for any given level.It's all about the source list. • Mark BurningHawk Baxter • AIM, Skype and Twitter: BurningHawk1969 • MSN: burninghawk1...@hotmail.com • My home page: • http://MarkBurningHawk.net/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: [Bulk] Where is the history window in Skype 5?
You don't. What you do is interact with the source list just to the right of the tool bar. When you do this, and VO right, you'll see any missed events, also, any person who has asked you to authorize them. When you find it, stop interacting with the source list and you can deal with the window then. Sincerely, The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!! Now a very proud and happy Mac user!!!

A question about Skype 5 and the Mac
Hi all, In previous versions of Skype, I used to be able to hilight a contact and press enter to call them. Now, in Skype 5, when I press enter Skype brings up a chat window. How can I change this so that when I press enter, the contact is called on their Skype account? Thanks.

Re: A question about Skype 5 and the Mac
Hi Jes, I have looked everywhere in the preferences, and I have not found that option. It seems as though they think the buttons to the right of the contact name are sufficient for deciding what to do with them. It's a bit of a shame since I too enjoyed pressing enter to call, but it's only an extra half a second to hit the right arrow three times to get to the call button. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

skype 5 and vo
I have recently installed skype v5 release. I am a bit confused by the interface it presents. I know how to make a call to a contact, but wonder if there are shortcuts available to get to the dial pad, how to manage and see events like friend requests, general shortcuts to navigate the interface, etc. Why do I see something called html content, and once I get out of my source list, how do I get back to it? How do I navigate what seems to be my history, where it shows things like today, this week, etc. As I say, I am able to call a contact an with a ton of key presses, navigate to the dial pad to make a phone call. Beyond that, this interface confuses me. Thanks for any halp possible. Marlaina -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: skype 5 and vo
the source list is where you find your so-called history. Just interact with this source list and VO+right arrow in to each item. When you find an item you want to deal with, just stop interacting with the source list. To close an event, just use command+w. The dial pad is located inside the tool bar which is itself just to the left of the source list. Once the dial pad button is pressed, the dial pad is presented in touch tone fission. ONce you pressed all the digits of a number you want to call, press the call button, located at the very bottom right most of the dial pad area. ONce a call answers, the dial pad can again be pressed and you can enter digits as for things like your bank or Newsline or some other such thing. Sincerely, The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!!

ONce a call answers, the dial pad can again be pressed and you can enter digits as for things like your bank or Newsline or some other such thing. Sincerely, The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!!

Re: skype 5 and vo
Command 2 will open Dial pad, you may have to press it twice though, I sometimes do. Command 1 will re-open the Skype main window. • Mark BurningHawk Baxter • AIM, Skype and Twitter: BurningHawk1969 • MSN: burninghawk1...@hotmail.com • My home page: • http://MarkBurningHawk.net/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: skype 5 and vo
you aren't the only one. However, the devs at Skype have done several such interface tweaks. there also seems to be a problem with how Skype 5 notifies growl. if you are not focused on Skype chat, growl works ok after a fashion. However, if you are focused on the chat window, there is no growl output or even the sound that a message came in. I ended up rolling back to Skype 2.8 because that worked as it should. -Eric On Feb 21, 2011, at 5:46 AM, Marlaina Lieberg wrote: I have recently installed skype v5 release.

Skype 5 Beta
Hi all, Well I have resolved the issue. Screwiest thing I ever saw. I was attempting to download the Mac version using Internet Exploder and it would not let me. It only told me that there was not a Windows version of the beta available. Once again another company that thinks it needs to hold your pecker for you while you pee! So what if I was using a Windows machine to download the Mac version? I blasted them off a nasty gram, but doubt it will do any good.

Re: anyone using skype 5 beta with os10 having this issue
If you go to the source list and switch to another source, like Everyone, or another contact (BurningHawk1969, for example) the HTML area will change. Switching the source list selection back to the contact with whom you're having the conversation *MUST* refresh the HTML area, then.

I am hitting command 2 to toggle on and off the dial pad; I use the numbers on the number row of my keyboard to make the tones; I don't need to click every button in the boxes set up on the screen; that's a visual aid and, unless it makes different noises than when pressing the numbers, the number row is quickest. I hear the tones, just like I do on my cell, but the computer on the other end doesn't recognize them; what's odd about this is, when it says Press one for English, and I press 1, it works. It's only when putting in a nine-digit account number that Skype has problems; I'm wondering if it's a slow transmission problem, and that I have to wait a second or so after pressing in each number... • Mark BurningHawk Baxter • AIM, Skype and Twitter: BurningHawk1969 • MSN: burninghawk1...@hotmail.com • My home page: • http://MarkBurningHawk.net/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

skype 5 and dialing account numbers within a call
When I try to call my bank to check my balance using Skype, the numbers I type in are not recognized, even though, when I use my cell phone, the number is correct.

Re: skype 5 and dialing account numbers within a call
Hi Mark, Just look down the screen when you have a call active and you will notice a check box for toggle Dial pad. Check this and the dial pad will become active. You should now be able to enter tones while in a call. If you make a call and notice that the technical call window is active, just press command-w to close it.

Re: skype 5 and dialing account numbers within a call
I'm sorry, you've misunderstood me. I press Command 2 to toggle ON the dial pad before attempting to dial my account number. However, when I push the buttons on the keyboard corresponding to my account number, even though I hear the touch tones being made by Skype, the banking system does not recognize them as valid. When I call back on my cell, however, using the same numbers, it works fine. • Mark BurningHawk Baxter • AIM, Skype and Twitter: BurningHawk1969 • MSN: burninghawk1...@hotmail.com • My home page: • http://MarkBurningHawk.net/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: skype 5 and dialing account numbers within a call
It might help to mute your mic while dialing. My experience indicates that background noise during Skype dialing can make it difficult or impossible for the other end to figure out what numbers you're hitting.

Skype 5 beta and the call window
Hi, I'm on a skype call and it seems like i've got a couple of interesting problems here. 1, i can't recieve more than one file, because it seems that Skype displays a conversation that i have closed, even though it's closed. 2, When i am in a call, i can only see the chat box and some images and a html content and a tool bar, no source list or contact list or possibility to manipulate conferences, like calling individual people etc.Looks like the window needs resizing, only i do not know how. In need of some advise here. /Krister -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Skype 5 beta and the call window
Hi folks. I'm trying out the skype 5 beta from various aspects and have come across one that has me quite confused. When in a call, at least my voiceover doesn't see the whole window with contacts list, source list etc and the menu for participants in conference calls etc. Am i not able to do that, or is it just something i've overlooked? If so, what could it be? I've tried the item chooser, but that didn't work, it shows me the items of the call/chat window. Wonder why this is?

Re: Skype 5 beta and conference calling - this is what i've found so far
Hi! You know, a thought occurred to me again. I know that if you are in a chat and want to add people, you hit COmmand-Shift-A, find the person in the list of the new window, then hit enter once. Then, if you hit enter again without moving anything, it usually brings them into the call. I wonder if the same method works from a call currently in progress. So, I went ahead and tried. It did add someone into the call, actually. Now, what hapens though is that it will tell you that you created a separate conference. Regardless, it seems to do what you want, so that sounds a bit misleading to me. Also, you are told you hang up, when you actually don't.

What we would need is for Voiceover to give feedback as we move in the list of available names, which it doesn't do at this current time. What would also be great is if we could add a caller that rings in to an existing conference, a thing i haven't seen in this version.

Hi! Also, further to conference calling and joining through the Skype interface. I dare say I know how to do this, however, it is very bug and does not work. It is one of those logical things that hit you on the head when you consider it. I'm sure you all know how Skype does everything by conversation views by now, and as such, everyone gets their own conversation. Well, this concept applies here as well. All you do is simply move to their conversation in the Sources table when they call you, then do Vo-Shift-M to bring up their menu. You will find a Join call option, which is supposed to bring them into the other current call that you have in progress. However, what it does is call the same function similar to answer, so it puts any calls on hold and picks it up instead. I'm sure this is a bug, as there would be no explanation for the label otherwise.

When in a conference press the add people button or hit command+shift+a, this pops up an edit box. Type a name or parts of a name and wait a second or so. Voiceover will say skype has new window. Ignore that, it's a list of available names matching your search, but you can't do anything with it. Now hit your down arrow once. Vo will beep and announce the partial name you just typed. I don't know why you have to do this, but at least in my case, if i didn't do it, it didn't work. Maybe it goes to the end of the partially typed word. Now, hit return and press the down arrow once. This won't give any feedback but it actually selects the name from the list i spoke of earlier. Now hit return and the person you wanted should be added. What we would need is for Voiceover to give feedback as we move in the list of available names, which it doesn't do at this
Re: Skype 5
Hi! No, Mark, you're not. By the way, chat sounds do work even if you don't switch conversations, as long as you are not in the active Skype window and Skype is in the background...just to clarify that point. As for the @ parameter for retrieving names, that's an oversight by Skype, since it works for some alerts but not all. Also, concerning the active window issues...it'd be appropriate to add an option for that, as I personally find it very inconvenient having to move away from the window just to be notified of a new chat. I have of course sent all of these concerns. Regards, Nic GoogleTalk: chojiro1...@gmail.com Facebook Twitter Skype: Kvalme MSN Messenger: nico...@home3.gvdnet.dk Yahoo!

skype 5 pretty nice though
Hi list, I have just finished looking at the alerts customisations and wondered if anyone knew if growl notifications broke when receiving messages etc. I'm a bit confused about the interface when it comes to someone texting so i placed all the alerts so i know where to head when i receive something. And its always better to choose when to reply to a dialogue as before skype used to force a new contact's message on oneself while typing to someone else for example.

Re: [Bulk] skype 5 pretty nice though
I have checked the alerts and all of them seem to work. A lot of them are disabled by default and the customizability takes a while to fit everyone's needs. The alert method at the bottom of the alert screen for each alert type chosen in the pop ups has two options, built-in and growl. It's definitely better to have growl alerts with the speech setting on, but i can't have messages read by grolw at this point, probably due to some switch in the skype updated api. The settings are getting there but not to the point of satisfaction as of yet. Best regards.

Re: [Bulk] skype 5 pretty nice though
Hi! Most of them speak, although my online sounds don't seem to work either. I prefer to have Skype handle the speech, as Growl speaks on top of alerts that are already speaking which gets very loud. Secondly, the Outgoing call alert does not work properly with speech, at least not the built-in method. But the same parameter seems to work in others. See, it does show as contact when you use @, but it just doesn't retrieve the name in that particular alert for that reason even though the same parameter is used.

Re: [Bulk] skype 5 pretty nice though
Hi! Also, a lot of alerts particularly chat alerts, do not work in active windows. THis means, if you switch to another conversation (away from the chat with me), you will get the chat sound when I send you something. If you, however, switch back to me and stay in my window after you have replied, you will get no notification. This is how it currently seems to work, though I am sure everyone knows by now. This can be handy, sure, but it'd be nice if there was an option for this assuming it is intentional.

Re: [Bulk] skype 5 pretty nice though
I sure hope they fix that, otherwise, I suspect that more than a few of us will be switching back to 2.8. Surely, with all of us giving so much feedback on these things, how can they not pay attention; especially when version 5.0.0.6378 is still in beta? Just to let you know, the way I gave feedback was by clicking on the provide feedback button off the Skype menu. I'd better check and see if there's another way you're supposed to give feedback when testing a beta. Sincerely, The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!! Now A Very Proud and very happy Mac user!!!

Skype 5 beta and conference calling - this is what i've found so far
Ok, i have made some progress with adding people to skype conferences. As mentioned before, there are 2 methods of doing it. I'll begin by describing the way that works: In the chat box type the following, without quotes: /add username, where username is changed to the persons skype name whom you'd like to add. Be very, very careful with this version of the adding though, because it can, as it looks, add anyone from anywhere regardless if they're in your contacts list or not. I don't know if it actually tries to place a call to the person in question, but i don't doubt that it actually does. Second method: Press the add people button or hit cmd+shift+a. You will be kicked into an edit box. Type a partial name and wait for one second aprox. Vo will announce Skype has new window. With the window chooser, find a window named new. Here you'll find a list of the usernames Skype has found coresponding to your search. Find the username you want to add and ... what? what do you do then? Pressing return only makes the text go away. Pressing escape cancels the menu as would be expected, trying to copy the text yealds a beep and nothing happens, right clicking does nothing, pressing vo+shift+space bar achieves nothing, routing the mouse cursor to the menu text and clicking (vo+shift+space) only leaves the text in the menu visible and then nothing happens, hitting the return key, which would be the logical thing to do, causes the text to disappear and that's all, no people added, nada, nothing, nichts. I don't know anything more to try now, i'm out of ideas. The only thing i can think about is dragging and droping, but leaving the menu window and going to the skype window makes the edit box for adding people go away and so there's nowhere to drop what i've begun dragging. This is way beyond my little understanding. /Krister -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: skype 5 pretty nice though
In preferences, under alerts, you can set all those notifications, I believe.

Re: [Bulk] skype 5 pretty nice though
I've gotten the incoming-call sound from Skype when someone called my Skype number. To test the alerts, I've just enabled both the sound and the speech to the contact becomes available, and unavailable, alerts. I noticed, as I am sure you have as well, that there's a Mute all sound effects, box, and I made sure that it was *NOT* checked. :) • Mark BurningHawk Baxter • AIM, Skype and Twitter: BurningHawk1969 • MSN: burninghawk1...@hotmail.com • My home page: • http://MarkBurningHawk.net/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: skype 5 beta
Hi! Well, it doesn't really matter whether it's or not, actually, as it disappears when Skype is in the forefront anyway. So, unless you don't want it to say Skype has new window feel free to leave it. Just sayin'. You can't use the window, though, but it'd actually be a nice feature.

Re: skype 5 pretty nice though
Hi! No, Mark, it doesn't matter. It's because of active windows, at least for the chats which is pretty easy to discover when you switch conversations. Also, most of the alerts just seem to be bugged, or not retrieving the information set to the various contact parameters for all alerts which is kind of odd, I think, given they are the same.

Re: Skype 5 beta and conference calling - this is what i've found so far
Try coppying the text to the clip board then gogn back to the edit box and pasting. Good luck. On Nov 5, 2010, at 4:59 AM, Krister Ekstrom wrote: Ok, i have made some progress with adding people to skype conferences. As mentioned before, there are 2 methods of doing it. I'll begin by describing the way that works: In the chat box type the following, without quotes: /add username, where username is changed to the persons skype name whom you'd like to add. Be very, very careful with this version of the adding though, because it can, as it looks, add anyone from anywhere regardless if they're in your contacts list or not. I don't know if it actually tries to place a call to the person in question, but i don't doubt that it actually does. Second method: Press the add people button or hit cmd+shift+a. You will be kicked into an edit box. Type a partial name and wait for one second aprox. Vo will announce Skype has new window. With the window chooser, find a window named new. Here you'll find a list of the usernames Skype has found coresponding to your search. Find the username you want to add and ... what? what do you do then? Pressing return only makes the text go away. Pressing escape cancels the menu as would be expected, trying to copy the text yealds a beep and nothing happens, right clicking does nothing, pressing vo+shift+space bar achieves nothing, routing the mouse cursor to the menu text and clicking (vo+shift+space) only leaves the text in the menu visible and then nothing happens, hitting the return key, which would be the logical thing to do, causes the text to disappear and that's all, no people added, nada, nothing, nichts. I don't know anything more to try now, i'm out of ideas. The only thing i can think about is dragging and droping, but leaving the menu window and going to the skype window makes the edit box for adding people go away and so there's nowhere to drop what i've begun dragging. This is way beyond my little understanding. /Krister -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.
