Unable to download/open sent and received images in Skype (URL handling)

[MJB17]

I'm having trouble opening images that I receive or send through Skype. The thumbnail shows fine, but when I click it to open the image, Franz opens a browser window and links directly to a file called 'imgpsh_fullsize.dms', which is downloaded instantly but can't be opened after downloading. Anybody else experiencing this issue?

(Using Franz 5.0.0-beta.10 on macOS Sierra 10.12.6 and Safari 11.0)

I'm not able to open any images indeed. Will try to fix this and open a PR 👍

Same here. except it doesn't download any file, it just sends me to an blank URL. I'm on Windows 10 PRO, using Franz 5.0.0-beta.11 and my default browser is chrome 61.0.3163.100

I've found out, when clicking on a image and it opens a blank URL in the browser is fixed by logging into Skype in that browser. Then it'll load the image as a temporary workaround.

Seems like my fix was not good for all types of links... 😒

Yes, I have a similar issue here. When I click on a picture received in Skype, Franz opens my favorite browser and the page is not authorised.

Example: https://api.asm.skype.com/v1/objects/0-weu-d10-61b4e054eee94e55e07f1d74057bec95/views/imgpsh_fullsize

Using Franz 5.0.0-beta.15.607 on OS X 10.10.

any news?

If you just want to see the image. Please go to http://web.skype.com to login your Skype account first. And remember to click "keep login". Then you can close the browser and go back to Franz to click the image you want to download.

The reason is browser needs your authorization...

If you want to download it via Franz directly. I think we need waiting for update...

it's 2019 already ... still no solution to this problem ?

@MarioAzulay The solution is posted literally 1 comment before yours by @SeverusWu .
Just log in to web skype, tick "keep me logged in", and then you can download stuff in meetfranz skype

[MarioAzulay]

@calinpristavu that's not a solution, its a "work-round-kinda-fix"! a solution would be a permanent fix to this problem.

I would like a solution as well. The workaround is still just that — a workaround. Web Skype isn't even working in Safari. I understand that I must switch now also to Chrome, correct?
In comparison, Rambox recommends to disable previews and then files can be downloaded. Doesn't help Franz though.

Same issue on OSX. Files downloaded as 'original.dms'
