A new Xtras Manager has been introduced (1459, 539) New default Xtras :Genba posted a reference to a problem which I am also experiencing. Redesigned Chat Transcript (Log) Viewer Optional dock-like hiding of the contact list Requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later (Universal Binary) Xtras. ITunes integration is much faster, and updates as soon as the song changes. Improvements to the default look and feel of Adium.(For more on iChat and other Mac chat apps, see p46.). It's still the best chat client on the Mac platform, imo.The Sype API Plugin is producing odd behaviour with file tranfers - both transfers in and out.We wish Apple would update iChat's notification features a la Adium X (free. Yes, video chat would be awesome, but from the steady pace of updates Adium receives, I know if this were possible, we'd already have it. A presence status solution, a group chat solution, a video chat solution.The praise it receives is richly deserved: it's been a stable, full-featured workhorse on most Mac users systems for years.Sorry I blamed your fantastic plug-in.Anyway, there is one thing in the plug-in behaviour that I don't understand and I reckon it unnecessarily gets in one's way. And thanks for the explanation that it was not plug-in's fault, but Adium's. If the transfer issue could be solved, the plugin would be perfect!Thanks for the tip, it worked flawlessly.
Adium Group Chat Mac OS XBut here I get next unpleasant surprise: in addition to unnecessary multiple choice, there is a bug - even if I take the call the plug-in window stays on, still asking me if I want to answer. Because Skype bezel is really nice and faster I use it to answer the call. The result is I have a call and I get 2 windows that let me answer it. But Skype shows the 'answer or reject' bezel in the first place. ![]() ![]() As a suggestion for the readme-file or your website: It would had saved me quite some time, if it were mentioned somewhere, what is expected to happen after the installation of the plugin (i.e. Should there be any options/preferences for this plugin? If so, where?I tried to find information about how it should look like when the plugin is running, but i couldn't find any. No skype contacts, no error messages, regardless if skype is running or not. Set up 2 calendar views for different email accounts on outlook for mac+ H seems to stop this but it can get very distracting.For anyone who's still upset about having to have the program open, I've come up with a fairly decent interim solution to make it *appear* as though Skype chat (text only, obviously) works seamlessly and exclusively within Adium. I realize Skype does not really like people replacing their API but your plugin gets me 90% of the way to a unified UI and that is awesome.Having a few issues here (Adium 1.3.10, Skype 2.8.0.722, OS X 10.6.2, 20091114 plugin build)Status seems to work for online/away and custom messages, but breaks for manually set 'invisible' and with automatic 'away' after idle (Skype still shows me available, but XMPP status is correct.)Every 2-3 times I start Adium, it fails to start Skype unless I choose 'always allow this application to use Skype' and then forgets that soon after.If someone sends me a file via Skype file transfer, a window pops up with every Skype file xfer I've ever done and no indication of what is new.There are some conditions (can't quite nail it down yet) where I get both a Skype and an Adium popup and no matter how many times I minimize the Skype chat, oth pop back up when the next message comes in. I deleted the plugin from the profile repeatedly and reinstalled.Plugin-Version should be from 15th of NovemberI'm running out of ideas here, can't even determine, if this is an Adium- or a plugin error (or a user error.).Thanks for a very, very handy tool.
