Features still missing:
- Contact List Groups
- Undelivered chat messages are not currently indicated.
- /alertsoff in chats does not currently work as expected.
- OSS support - this will likely return later.
- At this stage, packaged versions are not available. For now, simply move
the ‘skype’ executable from the archive into /usr/bin and the sounds
into /usr/share/skype/sounds
Known problems:
- Audio:
- If you have a USB device and are getting sound output on one side
only, try using the plughw: device in Sound Devices instead.
- If you have a normal sound card, we recommend using the Default sound
device for now. Sound output to hw: specific or plughw: specific devices
may not work for all sound cards, or may result in single-channel
playback or loss of sound mixing support on your system.
- Chats:
- Selections behaviour is unpredictable in right-to-left languages.
- Links to URLs without protocol (ie. www.skype.net) may not load in the
correct program.
- ‘Find’ feature in chat does not have activation keys as yet. You
can initiate a find by typing /find and then using / in the chat window
to find the next match. Some options in the Find window have not been
implemented.
- Resizing chat windows which contain a lot of content, or
hiding/unhiding the userlist can be very slow.
- Contact List:
- If you have contact info expanded on the main contact list, the list
will scroll to this location automatically on any update (even if the
contact info was not visible before the update).
- If you have a long display name, this may be displayed in an unusual
fashion at the top of your contact list.
- Event History:
- Quickfilter is not yet implemented for event history.
- Loading full event history takes a short time.
- Popup Notifications:
- Not all popup notifications have been implemented (for example, calls)
- You have to double-click on chat popups to open the chat currently.
- File Transfers:
- Progress bar is sometimes incorrect.
- The ‘Open Folder’ icon on the individual complete incoming
transfers does not actually open the folder.
- When a transfer fails, it is currently not obvious as to why it
failed.
- There is currently no File Overwrite confirmation dialog.
- It is not possible to send file to chat
- When you have lots of file transfers and scroll through the list, some
horrible overdrawing artifacts can occur.
- Options Dialog:
- Changing between Options screens without saving could lose your new
options. Options are only currently saved on a screen by screen basis.
There is currently no warning when you try to change options screens or
exit the options dialog with unsaved changes.
- For some people, the Voicemail section may show a constantly scrolling
progress bar when they haven’t set a Voicemail message and/or do not
have the Voicemail or SkypeIn service.
