That's why I err on the side of caution, and stick with what works, until something is properly recommended.

I'm using script revision 113 with the latest version of Skype, and as far as I can tell, it's working perfectly. But, I'll be watching for any info on a split view in any newer version.

The word "refused" in your post is probably a rough translation and not intended as a statement that I was unwilling to help you. Just in case of any confusion though, my response to your request was, "Your config file is correct, and since the issue is about the scripts not loading at all, nothing I can do with scripting could address the issue." Beyond that though, you are now coming to a public list and officially requesting help with using an illegal copy of JAWS. I don't police the use of JAWS, nor do I work to prevent people from using my scripts in illegal copies; but I also do not specifically support them. There may well be JAWS installations out there that do not update regularly for corporate or similar reasons; so whenever I can get my machine to install Skype 8.51, I hope to examine this situation before updating to the latest JAWS myself.

Update: I talked with my friend who called me even for something
else, and he told me that really the version ending with 72 has
been retired and replaced with the one ending in 86. I installed
it from Skypes websites and saw that the scripts are working ok
but I am able to find split view, so it's possibly only available
in the Windows store version. Let's see what happens when some
newer version come out. Bye! Barbuz

A Very Important Question Regarding JAWS Script For Skype Electron
inamuddin khan
Respected Doug and others, The matter of fact is that when I have updated to the latest version of Skype electron, my JAWS script for Skype electron revision 121 has stopped working at all. I have contacted with Doug Lee in this regard and He demanded the file called (Confignames.ini) after submitting that file to Him, He said that He cannot do anything at all in this regard because it is the issue of loading the script. Then I checked that script with JAWS 2018 and still not working. Now I’d like to ask a very simple question, If a person wishes to use the latest version of Skype electron which is Skype 8.51.0.72 and if He/She cannot use the latest JAWS for any reason, does it mean that He should say to the script goodbye for ever? I sincerely hope that my question will be answered swiftly. With regards from Inamuddin with the Skype ID: Charlsdarwin1

Re: Split view in Skype 8 electron, did anyone testit?
John Gassman
I haven't been folowing this thread so maybe what I am about to post has been covered.
I don't know if the current August update to JAWS n August 13 would solve your problem or not. Here is what the enhancement says: Enhancements in JAWS 2019.1907.42 (August 2019) This update to the August 2019 release addresses a recently discovered issue where JAWS application scripts failed to load in the latest Skype for Desktop update (version 8.51) released the week of August 12, 2019. There are other possible applications where this could have resulted in scripts not loading also such as the Desktop version of Slack.

Re: Split view in Skype 8 electron, did anyone testit?

Send your ConfigNames.ini file from the JAWS user folder (not the shared folder). That file is what decides when to load the scripts. There may be entries with "skypeelectron" on the right side of the = sign in one or two

Re: Split view in Skype 8 electron, did anyone testit?
The matter of fact is that there are two versions of Skype 8.51. 1. Skype 8.51.0.72 this version of Skype electron is stable and it doesn’t have split view. 2. Skype 8.51.76.87 this version of Skype electron is preview and it has split view. I have tested both of them and in both versions the script is not working!

I don't think there are two preview versions, but there are two "More options" buttons: one is announced as "More options button", the other as "More options button menu". It's this last one that you want.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Testing split view mode briefly, I noticed the following things: * When I hit enter to send a message, Jaws is no longer saying "Message sent". * I hear the typing noise when someone else is typing, but Jaws does not announce new messages as they arrive. I'm using the latest of Doug's Jaws scripts. Léonie.
