Skype wish list

By Charles Stricklin · Sunday, August 6th, 2006

I’m really enjoying using Skype, but I’ve got a couple of suggestions for the developers that I wish they’d incorporate into future versions.

The first is really silly, but I’m a neat freak, and having any program create three separate folders in my My Documents directory offends my sense of order and control. Right now, Skype creates My Skype Content, My Skype Pictures and My Skype Received Files directories there.

Why not enclose each of those as a subdirectory of My Skype Stuff or something like that? In fact, why not let us choose our own name for that directory?

Another thing I’d like to see them do is enable recording of conversations from within Skype and have the program separate each participant’s voice in a separate track of audio. The ability to save that file as either .mp3, .wav or .ogg would be nice too.

I know! I know! I’m never satisfied.

I’m with you. I hate Skype creating these folders without an option to change the location. You can change the location of “My Skype Pictures” in the registry, but none of the others, as far as I can see. Let me know if you find a solution.

Hello Charles. You/I/we are not alone in this matter. It’s really unnecessary (and impolite if you ask me) that Skype developers do this with our privacy. My documents folder is like my own room in a house. And I never liked that my mother or any body else came there and put some thing (even if it was a nice thing) there. Please check the adresses below to see how irritated people are about this matter. Thank you.
