Opens Skype, but doesn't open user(s) or dial the number

I clicked a link for a US number, and it opened Skype (running in background already), and brought up the skype window, but didn't queue up the number to be dialed, nor did it dial the number, as I expected. I expected it start Skype (if not started), bring Skype window to foreground, and dial the number.

Is there something I've done wrong? I've installed the app, and tried changing to "tel" and "callto", but no difference.

What am I missing?

Win7-32
Skype 6.30.107

Thanks,

Mark

Another question - What about if it could also check to see if a number is listed in a person's profile, and pull up the person to dial the number? That could be slick.

Sorry for the tardy response on this. The issue you describe sounds similar to what happens on Linux without the additional configuration listed in the README file. I don't use Windows so unfortunately I can't troubleshoot the issue. If you find a reliable solution please post it here. Basically it comes down to whether Skype has registered itself properly with the OS to handle links.

Regarding what happens in Skype after the link has been clicked, I'm afraid this extension has no say. It simply creates a link, and if Skype handles it and how, that's up to the Skype developers.
