-It seems people have wanted a Skype plugin for Gaim/Pidgin/Adium for a long time, however it seems to be rare to find a glib coder who uses Pidgin who also uses Skype.  There seems to have been a lot of stigma over Skype being closed-source and evil, however there has still been a demand for this plugin and the end-user has suffered for long enough.  That was kind of my motivation.  Plus I enjoy both Pidgin and Skype and it made sense to me to combine the two.  I know it's not the ideal solution to still have Skype running, but if you're going to have it running, you might as well have your buddies in one place.

 Installation

 ============

 

-For the binary version of the plugin, either install the appropriate package for your distro or copy libskype to the appropriate plugins directory.  On Windows its normally C:\Program Files\Pidgin\plugins, on Linux it's normally /usr/lib/purple-2/ or ~/.purple/plugins

 On OSX, double click on SkypePlugin.AdiumPlugin to install (may need a restart of Adium).  You may need to delete the old version which is at ~/Library/Application Support/Adium 2.0/Plugins.  If upgrading to Adium 1.2, you will need to delete the account and re-add it.

 To compile from source, the easiest way is extract libskype.zip into the ${PIDGIN_SOURCE}/libpurple/plugins/ directory and compile using "make libpurple.so" or "make -f Makefile.mingw libpurple.dll"

 Q: How can I hide Skype in Linux?

-A: A bit more tricky.  What works well for me, is leaving the message window open, but moving it to another workspace so that it doesn't bother you any more.  Otherwise, you can turn off message windows in the Notifications settings in Skype (Options->Chat->Display an event notification).

 Q: The Windows version has feature "X", but the Linux/OSX version doesn't

 A: The API on Linux/OSX is more restrictive than the Windows API.  Try keeping up to date with the latest versions of Skype to take advantage of these features as they are implemented by the Skype developers.

 Q: Why is "Send file..." not in the conversation menu, but in the "More..." menu instead?

 A: The short answer is that Skype doesn't allow file sending in the way that libpurple wants, so it has to do it through a Skype popup instead of a Pidgin popup

+Q: I set my status to "Away" but Skype still shows me as "Online"?

 A: For some reason the Skype tray icon isn't always what is being seen at the other end.  Just ignore it :)
