Description Christian Hartmann 2010-04-04 11:11:31 UTC

Version:           1.0.0 (using KDE 4.4.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    openSUSE RPMs

I have Skype and the kopete skype plugin installed. When "now playing" module in kopete is activated (it sets my status message to the current song) and the song changes in amarok, kopete starts skype.

It seems that kopete tries to update the status message on skype even if it is not running and therefore starts it.

Does this happen even if Kopete's Skype Account settings have "Launch" set to "never"?

Dear Bug Submitter,

This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

Dear Bug Submitter,

This is a reminder that this bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? This bug will be moved back to REPORTED Status for manual review later, which may take a while. If you are able to, please lend us a hand.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

Sorry for the late response... I don't use Kopete/Skype anymore, so I can't check this. As this bug report is pretty old, I think we could just close it.

Dear user, unfortunately Kopete is no longer maintained.

Please migrate to another solution, e.g. for Jabber a possibility is Kaidan, for Matrix a candidate is NeoChat.
