Questions regarding GWConnectDate:
Wed, Feb 8, 2012 7:59:00 amOk, just in case anyone missed seeing when I posted about some problems
I'm having with GWConnect, here are some of them.
When a chat window is open for a contact, it displays the contact's
current status in that window. When the contact goes offline, or changes
his or her status, it is displayed, that's all good... but whwnever a
contact goes offline, and then comes back online, the status in the chat
window does not update as it should.
Next problem is with mood messages. Whenever a contact changes there
mood message, it is not updated while GWConnect is still running. I'm
pretty sure everyone's mood messages are updated when the program is
shut down, then reopened again, but while the program is active, any
changes to mood messages are not shown during the current session.
Next problem is with conferencing. I'm sure many people by now have said
something about this.
When I'm in a call, I am unable to invite other people into a
conference. That option just isn't there to choose from. I don't have
any idea why there would be a drop conference choice under the call
menu, but nothing about inviting to conference, or even to create a
conference from scratch.
Likewise, I see there is a choice to hang up a call in the call menu,
but there's nothing about placing a call on hold, and then to resume it
once put on hold.
Next problem is when I'm in a call, and another contact wants to voice
chat me. I see that calls are no longer joined together when one
contact is in a voice chat with you, and another is calling. However,
what's happening is, I answer the second call, and get connected. Both
contacts hear me when I speak, but those contacts can not hear each
other. this is indeed a problem hahaha.
Another problem is with voice mails. I have one set up, because I did
it when I used the main skype program. There is nothing in GWConnect as
of yet to make a new voice mail, or delete the existing one, or to even
create a voicemail in the first place.
I don't quite get why skype would release a developer's kit to create
accessible clients to have access to the skype features, but not give
the developer the ability to do more than just basics. I would think
the concept would be to provide accessibility to skype, but to also
allow access to all of skype's current offerings, but to do so without
all the needless visual elements of the main program.
I also don't think the view profile feature is working properly, because
evenytime I search for a contact to add, and hit the view profile when
results are displayed, hardly any information is displayed to me, like
location, gender, and the About me information. Also, the profile
information doesn't include things like time zone and birthday information.
Well there you guys go... just a list of the current issues that I hope
will either be addressed in future updates, or when skype decides to
release a better runtime to allow access to more features, which you'd
think they would have done when they initially release the SDK to begin
with.
