IBM Lotus Sametime 7.5 Release Notes Known limitations, problems, and workarounds
Slides panel does not display text files
Text files do not appear on the Slides panel during meetings, even when all other file types appear
correctly.
Workaround
1.
Delete the following two registry settings from the system running the Sametime Conversion Services
(UNIX), or from the Sametime Server (Win32):
z
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SCC\Viewer Technology\OEM5H
z
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SCC\Viewer Technology\OEM5H
2.
Restart Sametime and/or Conversion Services.
3.
Make sure the first file attached is not a text file.
Some .SDD files cannot be converted and attached to a meeting
In this release of Sametime, certain .SDD files are unable to be converted and added to a meeting. This
issue has been reproduced with StarOffice Impress and OpenOffice Impress .SDD files; this is a
thrid-party software problem related to the Stellent filters in the Conversion Service.
When this issue occurs, the user will not see any error messages. The only symptom is that the file will
not show up on the Whiteboard; error messages are, however, printed in the logs.
When changing the Chair, the old Chair may not be a presenter
When the meeting Chair makes another user the Chair, the previous Chair may become a participant
instead of a presenter. If the new Chair then gives the previous Chair permissions in the "Set
Permisisons" dialog, then the previous Chair becomes a presenter.
"In a meeting" status may not reset when a user leaves a meeting
A user can set their preferences in the Meeting client to automatically or manually change their online
status to "In a meeting" when they have joined a meeting or are sharing in a meeting. If the user has
done so, their online status may not automatically revert to "I am active" when they leave the meeting.
The user can manually change their online status to "I am active" in the Meeting client.
