Re: Blind Extra Leaves Traces on Your System, Even After Uninstallation
Gene
Something is telling whatever does this to look for
that add on even though it is no longer there. I don't know where that
information is stored or how it might be removed. At any event, it sounds
like a curiosity rather than anything that matters so if you get the answer,
that's fine but it shouldn't cause any problems, I don't think it even causes a
noticeably longer time for NVDA to boot. But it does raise the interesting
question about whether uninstalling other add ons cause not found messages for
them as well.

Blind Extra is not there. I checked the path, and the addons manager; it's not on his machine.

Hi all! Edge is almost my daily browser. With NVDA, it is very snappy for me, and I can navigate complex web pages, just like with Chrome.

Re: NVDA and edge
David Griffith
I too tried Edge tonight. I only tried the BBC Website and it was slightly stuttering and a bit painful with jaws 2018 even with Edge support turned on but I was delighted with the the performance of Edge and NVDA. As I say I only looked at a few BBC news stories but nevertheless the performance of NVDA in being so snappy in responding to the browser and reading content was very reassuring. With these pages at least I will not be left behind with web access as long as NVDA keeps up its support.. Thanks and congratulations must go to the NVDA developers for the enormous amount of work which must have been involved in getting this support nailed on to Edge. David Griffith.

Re: NVDA and edge

I am unconvinced that it's goind to matter much
over time, but we'll see. One reason firefox is using a different engine
is to get more speed and, according to some reviews I've seen, it is now a
little faster than Chrome, though the difference, it appears from the very
little I've read about this, isn't significant. A number of years ago, Kim
Komando observed that browsers are becoming increasingly alike and as time
passes, I suspect this is increasingly true. so this or that browser may
be better at one time or another but in general, I doubt it will matter much
over time, assuming they all remain reasonably accessible.

Blind Extra Leaves Traces on Your System, Even After Uninstallation

After doing some work on a friend's system, I noticed something odd: DEBUG - core.main (12:51:21.500): Initializing add-ons system DEBUG - addonHandler._getAvailableAddonsFromPath (12:51:21.503): Listing add-ons from C:\Users\(redacted)\AppData\Roaming\nvda\addons DEBUG - addonHandler._getAvailableAddonsFromPath (12:51:21.505): Loading add-on from C:\Users\(redacted)\AppData\Roaming\nvda\addons\BlindExtra ERROR - addonHandler._getAvailableAddonsFromPath (12:51:21.505): Error loading Addon from path: C:\Users\(redacted)\AppData\Roaming\nvda\addons\BlindExtra Traceback (most recent call last): File "addonHandler.pyo", line 160, in _getAvailableAddonsFromPath File "addonHandler.pyo", line 215, in __init__ IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'C:\\Users\\(redacted)\\AppData\\Roaming\\nvda\\addons\\BlindExtra\\manifest.ini' I asked my friend if he ever used the "Blind Extra" addon, which he confirmed.

Re: Excel Macro editing

Hi Cearbhall You do the same as me then. It’s really frustrating, Jaws works fine but I’ve got so much into NVDA I havenn’t even bothered to load the Jaws demo onto my machine. What version of Excel do you use? I’m on Excel 2007, if it affects more than my version, do you think it is worth raising it as an NVDA issue? I know the developers have recently improved many aspects of Excel functionality, if it is a common issue across different versions, it may be worth asking NVDA developers to have a look at our problems and as VBA macros extend across multiple Office products, it might kill multiple birds with one stone so to speak.

Hi, NVDA is very poor when editing a macro in the edit screen. Pressing up-arrow from line to line can lose the focus on whole segments of code. Sometimes pressing “Code” on the edit menu in the macro editor improves the focus but not always. I normally highlight all the code and copy it into notepad where I can edit it fully. I then copy the edited version back into the macro editor, replacing the original code.
All the best,

I must admit I don't do a lot of VBA / macro editing currently, but with missing characters, check your symbol level. Many characters aren't read at lower symbol levels, which works great when reading web pages and e-mails, and not so great for code. You may like to set symbol level to all for working in VB - either with a configuration profile, or with the NVDA+p keystroke.
I can't reproduce missing lines just at the moment (I appreciate you said randomly), so will have to keep looking for that.
Regards
Quentin.
