  1. Uni Call is an open source project and an Alfred workflow providing the fastest way to make whatever audio, video phone call or send whatever text message on your Mac OS X (ambitious . It views your Apple Contacts (we love Apple address book and iCloud as the central place for all your contact information, and makes use of those information to help you initiate your phone calls or text messages as quickly as possible. Please visit Uni Call's official project site (http://unicall.guiguan.net) for more details.
  2. The contact filter I wrote for Skype Call can be easily adopted for other actions. Also, I believe that we can use the url scheme "facetime://" to initiate a FaceTime call. So it should be easy. Would you mind to verify the URL scheme first? I only got time in the weekend. An another idea I thought about is to make a phone call similar to Skype Call, but through Android mobile. Are you interested in this too? If so, I can further upgrade Skype Call to Uni Call (unicorn)
  3. This is great. Do you have any idea on how to watch them on Mac OS X? From overseas?
  4. I think it's your browser problem. Try to right click the download link and select "Download Linked File" in Safari?
  5. Check out my Skype Call workflow: http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/2216-skype-call-the-fastest-way-to-make-a-skype-call-on-mac-os-x/
  6. Hi LeChuck. Did you store the Skype username in the IM Skype field of that person's contact card in your Apple Contacts/icloud? My design is to search contact in Apple Contacts app, but not in the built-in contacts of your Skype app.
  7. New version available at http://www.guiguan.net/redirections/Alfred-Forum-Uni-Call Skype Call v3.0 (27/04/13) The fastest way to make a Skype call on Mac OS X When you would like to make a Skype call, simply type: call TARGET where TARGET could be: a Skype username (the icon of online users will be shown as green) a phone number combination of contact details stored in your Apple Contacts: first/last names or corresponding phonetic names, nicknames, organisations or alternatively, you can make Skype call using Alfred's Contacts feature. If the Skype hasn't been opened yet, this workflow will open it and ensure it is online before starting the phone call. When making a phone call, this workflow won't change your Skype online status, and no annoying confirmation dialog box will be popped up. The alternative url scheme skype:{query}?call approach is not able make a phone call when Skype hasn't been opened in some system environment, and it will also cause the annoying confirmation dialog to be popped up every time when you try to make a phone call. This workflow supports Alleyoop auto-updater, and it has been tested on Skype 6.3.0.602 and Alfred 2.0.3 (187). For details and how to download and install, please visit my project page on github: http://guiguan.github.com/Uni-Call/ NOTE: Skype Call will search information in Apple Contacts app (the one normally synced with your iCloud), but not in the built-in contacts of Skype app. Therefore, you need to store Skype usernames/phone numbers in your Apple Contacts app in order to carry out the fuzzy search, as illustrated in following screenshots:
  8. Very nice, thanks! Now my workflow Skype Call supports Alleyoop.
  9. Nice! To wait for Skype to launch so that the applescript can talk to Skype API properly is frustrating. I see that you used a blocking dialog window, not a bad idea!
  10. Excellent! What tools did you use to debug those scary applescripts? I found myself very frustrating on writing applescript. LOL
  11. No, it's not a custom field. If you go from the main menu Card > Add Field > Instant Message of Apple Contacts, on the right side of the newly added field, there should be a dropdown list, where you can select 'Skype' as the IM type.
  12. Did you store the Skype username (which is found by opening the contacts profile, and it's on the FAT GREEN BUTTON) in the Skype IM field of your Contacts? LOL, I was trying to generate those screenshots. Sorry for the delayed reply.
  13. You have to change the custom actions to Skype Call in "Alfred Preferences > Features > Contacts". Please refer to the Installation guide. What did you type in to make a Skype call? Please paste any string that doesn't work for you here. You can replace any digit to 1 for the sake of privacy.
