Hi -
Is there any documentation of the (presumably) GET AVATAR command?
Also, will there be an update to the Skype4COM library soon to include this functionality?
Thx…

“possible to get contact’s avatar [sic!] and get and set own avatar”
It’s easy to save and set my own avatar, but is it possible to get the avatars of my contacts? The way the changelog is written suggests that it is indeed possible. But a web research returned mostly negative answers.

To be precise: I am talking about Skype4COM 1.0.28
Skype.Settings.SaveAvatarToFile() and set_Avatar() work.
I assume this is a wrapper to “GET/SET AVATAR”.
It is unclear what the equivalent is to “GET USER AVATAR”.
