[Freeswitch-users] Quirks with pickup/$1

[Francis]

Hi all,

I've been testing pickup/ with groups and individual endpoints, which 
works well, except:

1. When setting BLF keys for group pickup, the status shows as 'in use', 
not ringing. This prevents the phones (Yealink T28P) from activating 
their directed pickup feature.

2. Individual phones can only be picked up if the call is directly from 
a single caller. If the call comes via a call group, attempts to pick up 
individual phones fail and the group pickup extension must be used 
instead.

3. Conversely, calls that are blind transferred to a call group can be 
picked up via group pickup, but attended transfers cannot. Obviously, an 
unanswered attended transfer is an oxymoron, but if the phones are 
configured to allow attended transfers then the user could easily create 
such a situation.

I tested this on stable as well as git master, the behavior is the same. 
I'll see what I can dig out of the logs tomorrow, when my eyes aren't so 
red. Any hints in the meantime as to how I can make the behavior more 
consistent would be greatly received!
