I'm not seeing Skype 8.59 in the Check for Updates for 8.58 yet, but I know that a few people have grabbed it directly from the Skype website. Try toggling the restored/maximized state of the window a

The only thing I've seen that sounds similar to what you two describe is this: Now and then, when I start Skype, it will for a while seem like an empty interface. If I probe at it too much, it may eve

You are not doing anything wrong; I had to stop including jss files a while back. See https://www.dlee.org/code_policy.htm for details and https://www.dlee.org/code_policy.htm#tran specifically for ho

Why would Apple be trying to keep Electron apps off your system? Asking you and probably another contact as well; this is news to me.

You are kind. :-) Realistically though, the world started going from mostly Skype to a diverse set of alternatives years ago. The virus only served to make more urgent the need for us to keep up with

I can confirm that Skype can be slow to switch chats. I'm pretty sure that happens regardless of whether you run scripts, or even JAWS; but someone please prove me wrong if possible. The hotkey for mo

It's a standard file selection dialog I believe, which means the edit box would let you type a path, not just a file name; but that you could also Shift+Tab to a list, go back farther to navigate thro

It's the "Add Files" button you Tab to from the input edit box in a chat.

I'm sure the window maximizing thing means that window size can govern what's included in a window in Skype Desktop. Good to know; thanks for the quick reply. And for all else watching, keep in mind t

Léonie, I failed to answer this over month-old message; but typically, unanswered emails sit in my inbox until I do; and that happened here. I am slating for implementation in the Skype Electron scrip

For a long time, this has been the best place to find me for Skype script and even NVDA add-on support for Skype products, which include Skype for Windows Desktop, Skype UWP for Windows 10 though I ha

I actually spent a fairly significant amount of time arranging the scripts for this application into three branches, all of which can be found at https://www.dlee.org/sfb/ I don't have a way to test o

Wow, didn't know any SFB version that old was still in use out there. I may vaguely recall that focus issue, but I believe that was fixed within SFB itself. I did not try to script around that one as
