Can anyone check if it actually sends the photo, or just uploads to the web and sends a link to the recipient. If it's the latter, that's would be fucking embarassing.

It sends photos inline and it showed a resuming screen while sending the photo. I can't wait to see all the new resuming and loading screens the updated skype has to offer.

It sends the photo.
...But you can't save it to phone. (WTF)

If you send it to a desktop client, it shows as a link. Pathetic.

This is normal, it is the mid-point while they update all clients to support the new method. Once the desktop client is updated, it will just see the picture. No need to save etc.
It is the only way they can do it while they change the imaging systems on all the clients while keeping some sort of bridge between the two

I don't understand why they cant just do a simple file transfer. I don't want my images stored on the cloud somewhere without my permission.

So the message will sync to all of your devices and it will get sent even if the sender is offline.

It is apart of the cloud sync they have. So a picture will come and sync even when offline, just like chat. This allows offline messaging and conversations to be fluid from device to device. The old system meant when i logged into my PC i would hear beeping from pictures being sent... only to accept them and saying they are not available.

its not built into the desktop client yet, how would that work!

I'm not seeing the ability to send photos - how do I access that?

"Sharing" a picture with somebody using the desktop clients results in:
[11:42:48] Kar98_Byf42 : Kar98_Byf42 shared a photo with somebody, view it here: https://api.asm.skype.com/s/i?0-cus-d3-caa0de0c77d3420c9fc84bc70e06cfb0 This version of Skype doesn't support new photo sharing features yet.

Tell them to update their Skype app then.

What's with the question mark?

I updated. Loads a little faster, which is appreciated. But, I'm waiting for the day that it's a first class citizen, where we can call/type as fast as the native phone/text. With the hubs gone, this day may never come...

Mine all works really smoothly now. Sending pics is great and works well.

Wouldn't let me update from the store on my phone. I checked the store on my desktop and it gave me a reinstall button, so I updated that way.

You can also have bolded and italic text by surrounding your text with asterisks or underscores now.

Hopefully it actually sends the photo and not just a stupid link.

No update. Must have been pulled.

I just updated right now. Check again.

Now it's offering me an update.
Still slow as molasses, and "add contact" and "share picture" are grayed out.
1
i'm not the one you're replying to but i'm still getting no update...
1
I think the update has been pulled; its still on 2.19 for me.

Updated, the loading/resuming takes a tiny bit less time (still too long) but responsiveness of the app has improved a lot. Promising but lot of work needed still.
