Interestingly Supernova had something like this where it asked questions via checkboxes etc and then let you test the file on the target program. It did work but was quite time consuming to do. Brian

Re: problem with latest NVDA
Gene
And if you hide that setting, how do you
conveniently look for WIFI connections and connect to to networks? It
should not be necessary to hide a system tray icon. The system tray dialog
should be incorporated into NVDA because the direct access doesn't work properly
and for other reasons I've given in earlier threads. This is strong
evidence in favor of my argument.

Re: A Question about NVDA Automatic Updates
Brian's Mail list account <bglists@...>
In an installed version it is indeed in the temp folder, though there are moves afoot to delay installs that might mean putting it in the download folder. I don't know if this has been decided as yet.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
In a portable version you launch the default browser and download it there and of course you can then save it where you like. If its in temp then it will not last, obviously! I often find that Firefox can download the file faster than nvdas own downloader. Also note that Firefox sometimes will put up a message not read by nvda saying this is not a normally downloaded file, after beeping almost to the end of the download. If this seems to just stop with no completion use the context menu in the download box of Firefox to tell it to download it and it will end. this normally only happens if you run a snapshot portably.

It can manifest itself several ways depending on how the desktop is set up but if you hide that item, then it seems never to block the system again. You do not really need it as windows ordinary applets let you do all the same things in any case, and as Isaid earlier, its specific to Intel chipped networks I think.

Yes well the network item that does this is Intel chipset specific and seemed to be in versions starting about the end of 2015, but of course it does not always get updated, so most people with installs before this do not have the issue.

Yes a version of the intel network tool has a blank invisible screen that will not cancel with keyboard input. My solution was to go into the hide or view taskbar items, and hide the offending one so it never gets even seen. It auto activates as you cursor through it otherwise.

NVDA not reading the message list in Outlook 2016
Hi,
I'm using NVDA 2017.3 on Windows 10 version 1703 and Outlook 2016. For some reason after I made some changes to the views settings NVDA no longer reads the message list. What I've done is...hide the message preview pane, and hide the favorites from the folders list. Could anyone tell me how to get NVDA to read the message list again in Outlook 2016, without resetting my views settings?

Re: ocr
Brian's Mail list account <bglists@...>
It really depends on what it is you are displaying in focus at the time and although it seems to work for programs where there is no text on buttons, only a picture of them, quite how you might use this to make such software accessible is not clear to me. Its good for things like text on a screen that you cannot read, but how would one map the buttons if the maker has not done this properly in the first place?

Re: NVDA and Windows older versions
But just because Microsoft collect usage information should not be why you shouldn't stay away from Windows 10. I agree that this privacy concern is too...over exaggerated.
Going back to the subject of old unsupported Windows versions...if I am in a situation where my Windows XP machine is too ancient to run even Windows 7, I'd get a second hand desktop that already comes with Windows 7 SP1, which is much cheaper. This way I could continue to update NVDA and other programs and also receive security patches from Microsoft. But to be honest, my experience with recent versions of NVDA on Windows 7 is that...there's not much difference at all. This is because most of the bug fixes and new features are aimed at users of Windows 10. Soon Windows 7 will meet the same fate as Windows XP as end of life for Windows 7 is only a few years away.

Re: ocr

No, that was not stated nor anything like it and
I'm completely sure that isn't true. The statement said they are joining
JAWS and Openbook. I'm not sure just what is meant by that statement but I
doubt it is true in the sense that Openbook is going to be dispensed with and I
don't think it should be stated in that way. JAWS is getting significantly
increased abilities. That doesn't mean it is comparable to Openbook in
features. It just means that JAWS has significantly increased OCR
capability. I read most of the What's New document and I never saw any
statement about JAWS being combined with or merged with Openbook.
You seem much too quick to believe, and take
seriously dire statements about JAWS. It's as though you hope the worst
concerning JAWS is always true. That is, in my opinion, not what anyone
should want. The more good tools we have, the more our chances of getting
the most done with our computers and the greater is our likelihood of success in
various settings. Also, innovation is more likely that will be adopteds by
the other screen-readers when there is competition and a variety of
products. It was not desirable that Window-eyes was discontinued for those
reasons, whether you like or use Window-eyes or not. The same with
JAWS.
