Finding old Skype chats
Skype for Linux 1.4, like other desktop clients, supports the Skype Public API, which allows other applications to make use of Skype features.
I started a set of command-line tools for Skype Linux to do various things that cannot be done with the user interface. The first of these tools allows to find and open old multi-chats, even the ones that have disappeared from the recent chat list in the UI or are not bookmarked.
The tools are Python scripts, and with them also comes a simple Python wrapper around the Public API.
To get them see the Skype for Linux Tools page.
