Editing SignWriting Documents Around the World

SignWriting List
January 28, 2011

Hi Kelly Jo and Charles -

That is so interesting. I am not having the Firefox problems with Skype on my Mac...That is clearly a Firefox conflict with Skype that never happened before...I assume on Windows?

Kelly Jo - can you name the skype add-on? Because maybe Charles could eliminate that add-on...

Or just don't turn on Skype all the time - only use it occasionally by appointment like I do ;-)

Regarding SignPuddle 1.6 - that will not be out for a while - I do not know when, maybe in a month or two - so waiting for SignPuddle 1.6 is not a good idea -

If you want to try to get signs out of SignPuddle, Kelly Jo, I am here to help - I do it daily with no problem, so I am curious what you are experiencing...Val ;-)

> I have some problems similar to Charles.  The last several times Firefox has upgraded, I've gotten a message about Firefox and a particular Skype add-on not being compatible.  I've also had real trouble getting signs out of SignPuddle and into other programs.  Again, I haven't worked on that for a while so I don't know if those problems are still as much of an issue as they were several months ago.  I know there are a bunch of fixes supposed to be coming soon so I'm waiting for confirmation that SignPuddle has been updated; then I'm going to try some of these things again and see if they work again.
