Skype 8.51, split view and JAWS scripts
Marius Swart <nightowl69@...>
Hi Doug and list. After updating to Skype 8.51.0.6, and modifying the ConfigNames.ini file according to your instructions (I’m using JAWS 2019 June release), and enabling split view mode, here’s what I found.
The scripts work properly in the Skype main window, but when split view mode is enabled, the scripts do not work in the separate chat window. After disabling split view mode, I found that the scripts worked properly in both the Skype main window and an active chat.
I’m not expecting you to come up with a workaround, I’m just reporting in case anyone hasn’t noticed yet.

I was looking at the options with that version of Skype. I found one that said Skype in compact view swiched off.
For me, I don't get multiple
conversations anyway, so it's not a priority.
It's just one of those things I'll
figure out when I need it.
Just my opinion based on experince,
nothing more.On 2019-08-21 2:48 p.m., Marius Swart wrote:

I will want to look at supporting split-view mode; but as it is in an Insider version only, I currently don't have it to test.

To address a remark in a related email: "Compact List mode" is something else and has been around for quite a while.

one or two other concerns on my plate yet today; but barring problems and given energy, this is on top of my list to check out now. My version, though, is 8.51.0.86. I only now realized that the below-mentioned 8.51.0.6 was probably not a different version but just a missing 8. :-)

Hi guys, I figured out on my hand the split view is now available, though it wasn't untill last monday. I tested it and I figured out that the scripts aren't recognized inside a chat, I have revision 121 but ins+q says Google chrome settings are loaded when pressed inside a chat. Disabled immediately. Bye! Barbuz

I found the scripts worked as usual in split mode, and ins-q said the script revision. I just disabled it in case the sounds don't work. I'm sure this will all be figured out in time. On 2019-08-21 5:54 p.m., Michele Barbi

Thanks Jerry for your report, I don't know why it happens that problem on my hand, possibly because of JAWS not fully updated but this is just my supposing. A friend of mine said that he doesn't have this mode yet, he's using NVDA as his primary screen reader but I don't think this can have anything to do. My theory is, split view is gradually rolling out for users, like some Whatsapp features such as calls. Bye! Barbuz

Just tab to where it says More Options button, click on that. Scroll down and you should see where it says Enable Split screen, and click on that.

When I contacted to Skype support, they said to me that the developers has removed split view for improving it. As far as myself is concern, I’m using Skype 8.51.0.86 and I have split view. With regards from Inamuddin with the Skype ID: Charlsdarwin1

I have that also. I'd recommend waiting for any improvements. Meanwhile, it works for me so far. On 2019-08-23 8:48 a.m., inam din
