In order to get Skype SMS working on XP, and Skype dialing working on Vista, I have had to recode all the COM interfaces to every third party application that Synapse can use.
I have tested with all except Paperport as I no longer have that application installed.
Note that Synapse will still crash if you try Skype SMS under Vista.
There are 4 SMS interfaces provided. To use one of these, you need to setup an account with one of them, and purchase some credits. Or, if you use Skype, then have credits available. Once you have all the details, then enter them in the appropriate tab ( Settings/User/SMS ) and save as per the tab button. This will then make this SMS provider available to all users on your Synapse network. The others only need to select the provider and save the preference. Only the admin can setup the SMS settings.
If you wish to use Red Oxygen, or Messaging Media, you will need to install a DLL. Instructions to follow.
Messaging Media have a function to turn text SMS into voice .. but that is not working yet. It only applies to NZ and Australia so far though.
Skype : if you use SMS, you have to tell Skype to allow Synapse to interface. Click on "allow/deny" when the message comes up, and then you can click on the two double arrows to manage it. This has to be done each time you upgrade Synapse as Skype will know it has changed.
Adding and editing an encounter is now back to 3 clicks as before ... as the new encounter you create is now opened in preview mode exposing the "Edit" button.
Editing tags will no longer close the current encounter down.
