I suggest that you back up your existing Miranda +Database before using this plugin, just to be sure you have a backup if +it runs amok ;-) Feel free to improve the ugly sourcecode. +Please give me feedback, if it works for you, it would be interesting. + +NOTES - READ THEM CAREFULLY! +---------------------------- + + * You need Skype 1.0.0.97 or above in order to have access to the Skype API + * You have to manually disable popup of messages in SKYPE, as there is + currently no function in the API to do this + Got to File/Options/Short messages and disable the checkboxes there + Otherwise you would get all Skype-Messages twice (in Skype AND Miranda) + * If you always get "Unknown event" when a call is incoming and you are using + the NewEventNotify-plugin or Tabsrmm then go to the plugin's options + (Sessions / Event Notifications / Announce events of type) and disable + "other events" there. + * Importing history for a contact can be launched by clickting "import History" + in the context menu of a contact. The importing takes place in the background. + AS soon, as it's finished, you will be notified by a messagebox. + This feature is still buggy and quite a bit unpredictable. + * There is a nice Iconset with the original Skype-Icons created by X-Byte + Thanks for that. Grab it at http://dose.0wnz.at/Skype/Skype_icons.zip + * Skype API bug: When you set Skype offline via API, the contacts stay online + I made a Miranda-sie workaround for this now, but it's a Skype-API bug, + not a plugin-bug + * Skype API bug: when you rename Skypeout-contacts in Skype, their new nicks + aren't sent correctly via the API, instead, the previous nick is sent and + therefore the Miranda-name is not up-to-date after nick change. + This is not a plugin bug either. +BUGS +---- + + * To track bugs, you have to make a Debug-Build out from the source. + The plugin then will log the Skype-API communication to a logfile + called skype_log.txt so that we may se what caused the crash. + -- cgit v1.2.3
