Current version is 2.0.0.1

Skype Tracer is an utility for developers that would like to increase their performance regarding development for Skype. Since version one was released I found that a lot of people have downloaded it. My web site registred over one thousand downloads. This is a huge number and I would like to say thank you guys. After the first version was released soon I realized, that it have to be extended that's why version two came out soon after version one was released. Unfortunately I'm a little bit busy guy, so frequent updates are impossible. If you need to talk to me you can find me on skype API message board. But since first version source code is available hope there will be no problem to learnd and understand this baby. Have fun.

New version includes:
  • History of commands
  • Messages with time when they was sent/received near it
  • Few scenario textareas for keeping frequently used mesages or so
  • Log to file option
  • Different colors for messages with Command Identifiers
  • some design improvements
         


Skype Tracer change log:
2.0.0.1 I discovered that statically allocated buffer for messages is not anought since some messages like "search calls" produce a very long respone message. So this solution could not be used anymore. also some people from Skype API forum notify thet the application rise an exception on some machine. So I think maybe it was because the buffer wasn't so big. In fact I was watching messages size before reaching the buffer. Anyway I rewrote that part of code so now I use dinamically allocated buffers.

Plans for the future:
I the near future I would like to implemnt an option to be able to overview message text and copy it somewhere. Because some messages are longer then justs listbox width so you can't actually see the rest of it that is beyond. So it will be some kind of popup window that will show you hole message and you will be able to copy message to the buffer.

Plans for the FUTURE:
Well. I would like to develop a tracer for Linux version of the Skype. Unfortunately it can not be done because I can't install Fedora 4 on my PC since I have some unique Asus P4SD-VX motherboard that sounds like produce IRC exceptions when installing Fedora 4. In fact I cant install earlier versions of RedHat stuff because my it doesn't see DVI output on my GeForce FX 5200.
