Is it possible to show images in Skype chat window ?
(windows 7 Skype client)
You can share your desktop using the windows desktop client (not Windows Modern), or drag and drop a image (or any file) into an IM window, or if you are using the iOS client do this - http://mashable.com/2012/08/21/skype-photo-sharing-update/
Update 7/9/14: More clients now support picture sharing in the chat: Xbox one, Windows Phone and iOS all have it now.
Update 09/10/14: Window and Mac too now (improved-skype-desktop-clients-for-a-dynamic-new-chat-experience)
Disclosure: I currently work for Microsoft/Skype
I think no, only you can share links to image, if you think on showing send image immediately, without download them.
There's a discussion/plea for such a feature at the Skype Community. Also, there's this Feature Suggestion separately. Please support.
If you are looking to share photos in real-time, the following tool allows for an online, collaborative slide show. I use it regularly to show pictures to my family over a skype session: http://www.photozzap.com/

When writing a message in LinkedIn on android devise, the 'enter' button sends the message. How would I start a new paragraph?
This is due to the keyboard that your app is using. You will need to go into the app settings and change to a US keyboard to allow for the enter to be used as the enter key instead of send.
This answer was given to me by a LinkedIn community expert Julie
I have followed her instructions on my Android phone and the problem is resolved
Unfortunately, it does not work on Samsung Galaxy A5.
I removed all lenguages and keyboards other than English (US) and it still sends instead of insert (break paragraph).
A working solution would be highly appreciated!
Im currently editing a Wordpress theme called explorable (http://elegantthemes.com/preview/Explorable/)
The final site will be hosted on a windows 8 touch screen device and will be an interactive map.
I am having a few problems with the touch screen mechanics and decided to use google chromes built in, Emulate touch events feature. However I can't seem to drag the map at all unless I have the iphone/ipad user agent also ticked.
I checked the documentation and drag is enabled by default so I'm not sure why this is turned off for desktop, this might also be the reason why I cant get drag to work on the windows8 box.
Not sure if Im missing something thing obvious or not, or that I just need to declare a setting when the map is initiated.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
UPDATE
This issue was handled in the bug
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/35824421
and was solved in version 3.27 of Google Maps JavaScript API in December 2016.
Turns out Google chrome does not support touch events very well on windows 8 touch devices. However IE10 does so I set the application to run on this browser.
For what i need the application to do this worked well, however this might not be the best solution for other people having trouble with touch actions on chrome in windows 8.
This is in fact a Google Map bug #6425.
Check out my answer to this question for another workaround using User Agent spoofing.
I have made an asp.net application designed to manage and optimize warehouse statistics info. The user had to collect and enter all the info manually so I thought it would be way better to get use of some bar code devices that uses bluetooth for communications to get that info on an automated process.
So I developed an Internet explorer extension that managed the page requests for the bluetooth device and made posts inside a control container with the data.
The fact is that this extension gives me plenty of problems, having to redo the pairing of the devices every now and then as it looses it's functionality after some unknown event. I don't know if it has to do with windows updates or accounts management and rights.
Does anyone knows an alternative, that would be more stable? Perhaps with Java?
Cross-browser would be a plus. In fact I'm headed at mobile devices using android. For the moment, only windows tablets are compatible.
Thanks.
if you are targeting windows tablets, why not using HTML5+Phonegap. This might help.

This question has been asked before, but not this year - there is no concrete consensus and I know this is a hot topic. In addition, technology changes rather quickly, and the other questions seem to relate to only using the <input type="file>. I am looking for a more verbose modern way to handle these requests. Although I have been developing in ASP.NET C# MVC3, I have been looking into weather ASP.NET MVC4 Mobile will support mobile file upload. From what I have read, it does not, or it has not been covered in the new release notes.

From the research I have done jQuery-Mobile seems rather gimmicky.
http://www.parorrey.com/blog/jquery-mobile/file-input-field-uploading-using-jquery-mobile-framework-form-submission-with-ajax-disabled/
http://forum.jquery.com/topic/jquery-mobile-seems-to-clobber-ability-to-upload-files-via-forms
An example that was posted did not work on my iPhone, as the <input type="file" still existed and was therefore grayed out as inaccessible.
http://filamentgroup.com/examples/jquery-custom-file-input/
Another suggestion I have come across involves forcing the user to email the photo to a user-specific email which doesn't really appeal to me or the customers I deal with - this approach also seems like it could be vulnerable to security breaches.
IS there a way to do this that I have overlooked? How can I show a file dialog on a mobile device?
The Safari browser does not support file uploads. You can see this by visiting many of the mobile sites in the actual browser BUT the actual apps will allow this.
So if you are making a mobile web app that you wish to deploy as a native app, you can use phonegap as a layer to do this.
http://docs.phonegap.com/en/1.4.1/phonegap_file_file.md.html#FileTransfer
Also, it is supported in:
Android
BlackBerry WebWorks (OS 5.0 and higher)
iOS
Windows Phone 7 ( Mango )
I use jquery mobile in a production app and it works just fine. I don't do file upload with it; however, that isn't jquery mobile's job anyhow. JqueryUI has issues with its dialog and file upload as well. There are a number of scripts that help with that. I use ajaxfileupload: http://www.phpletter.com/Our-Projects/AjaxFileUpload/ there are better ones out there now though.
I digress. As far as mobile is concerned it is more useful to have camera features involved rather than pure fileupload. No one knows where they store things on their phones, which is part of the problem. For that case you may want to try phonegap. Try this: http://wiki.phonegap.com/w/page/18270855/Image%20Upload%20using%20JQuery%20and%20Python
Yes we can upload picture through mobile,
Face book is a live example for this.
It works for me on Android.
You can see how facebook does it here: https://m.facebook.com/home.php?refsrc=http%3A%2F%2Fm.facebook.com%2F&refid=8&_rdr
<input type="file" name="file1" data-sigil="photo-input" />
Try going to www.tinypic.com and uploading a photo. I can test on iPhone tonight.
This works fine on Android 2.2+. You can upload photos from your gallery or use the camera to take a new picture for uploading. Any other apps that expose similar behaviour like sound recorders, the camcorder and music apps will typically offer alternatives. If you have a good filesystem app installed this will normally allow you to upload arbitrary files.
On iOS, you have to use an app to upload files. Since this is such a glaring omission in this age of web apps, it is very likely this feature will be added in the next major release of iOS although that is likely a few months away still.
Try this:
<input type="file" accept="image/*;capture=camera">
This should be supported in most mobile browsers and should offer the user a chance to choose a local file (image) or one some modern devices even allow them to capture one in the process.
Hope this helps!
Use Phonegap to bridge the gap between client side libraries and native applications. While the client side libraries give a good handle and easy way to set UI things up, you can use the capability of phonegap to perform device specific operations like camera, scanning, call etc.
Mobile browsers in Android (pre 2.2 it seems) and iOS do not allow file system access. And when it does on Android 2.2+ it isn't full access - it is filtered via apps that hit the FS like Gallery or Music.
I have an ASP.NET web application where a portion of it needs to run in a web browser as a public facing terminal.
Essentially it is used to capture anonymous user feedback (wizard control on a .aspx) in a commercial location such as a shop.
An administrator will login and prep the application for 'terminal' mode.
The terminal is a normal PC with keyboard and/or mouse like device.
I would like to prevent users from:
Viewing the browser menu's, pushing back button and/or entering a different URI in the URL and also disallow keyboard shortcuts from bypassing the intended looping functionality of the application that is running?
Which browser is best suited for its ability to disable functionality as mentioned? The app runs on IE/FF/Chrome/Opera/Safari.
HOW would one go about configuring the machine and/or browser so it is locked to prevent unauthorized/unintended use?
On a side note, I guess the web application session needs to have an unlimited timeout?
Thanks for your input!
EDITED: I am leaving the question as unanswered for now... I would like to see responses that highlight possible options for the other browsers as well.
You can run Internet Explorer in Kiosk mode.
Please see this MS KB article.
Simply put, start Internet Explorer with the -k argument
There seems to be some commercial products available also, like this.
Try How to use Kiosk Mode in Microsoft Internet Explorer
Also, there are many Kiosk tools to assist in locking down a machine. Example: http://www.thekioskstore.com/index.php/software/kiosk-lock-down
Firefox has at least two plugins (and possibly many more):
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1659
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/509
It is also possible to lock down KDE and GNOME (GNOME at least has a built in tool), which you can also use to lock down the rest of the system. I suggest installing Ubuntu if the web app is running on another system.
If you have to use MS Windows, check out: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/sharedaccess/seeit/internetcafe.mspx.
You can use an opensource Linux distribution designed for this very purpose, http://webconverger.com/
