Getting VLC to announce elapsed time and time remaining
JM Casey <crystallogic@...>
HI.
Someone asked about this on another list, and I am curious about this myself. Pressing the “t” key in the VlC desktop application is supposed to make the elapsed time and remaining time appear on the screen when viewing a video. The text only appears for a short period and I have been unable to successfully find where it appears, and NVDA does not automatically announce it, even with the VLC add-on installed.
Does anyone know any other trick to getting this information, available easily to the sighted user with a keypress, out of VLC?
Thanks.

I just uninstalled NVDA and downloaded it from the web page and reinstalled it. Interesting it seems to remember my user settings. I have it to read single digits and it still does that. We will see what happens.

Steve Gomes <finnygomes@...>
I am using windows 7 and outlook 2010. When I get emails from fox news, I hit control D to delete and get that message that says the body of the message has been changed do you still want to delete it? I hit yes and often that will make outlook crash and lock up the machine for a few minutes. Or it will cause outlook to close and I have to reopen it. It works fine with jaws. What is going?

Re: NVDA 2018.1 freezes when editing an Excel worksheet
Hi Suzy,
I experience this too and, like you, Excel starts off fine and then will freeze up after finishing entering text into one of the cells. For me there is a kind-of workaround. When I type into a cell and then nothing responds, I move away to another program, Mozilla for example, then go Alt Tab back to Excel and the sheet responds to key presses / typing again. That doesn't mean it won't freeze up again after entering the next cell data, requiring another Alt Tab move away from Excel and then back to Excel again. I hve not been able to figure out what causes this, and why, once it has started responding properly again, it works fine for a few more entries and then ties up again. Sometimes it seems to occur when Excel auto-formats something like a date, but tonight my date inputs are all working fine. I'll pay more attention when I do some more work (I've a couple of edits I need to make this evening and a couple more entries I need to add, so if any of those freeze Excel I'll take more notes). I'm using Excel 2016 on Win10 and with NVDA 2018.1 Giles

Re: Silencing the Checked Selected Checked Annoyance?

Hi
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
You need to set upt the File explorer display to your liking. First of all, press windows+e to open File Explorer. Next, press alt+v followed by the letter l. This will open a Layout dialog where you choose the layout for how files and folder items are displayed when you use File explorer. The choices are Tiles, Content, large icons, medium icons, small icons, extra large icons, list and details. As a totally blind person, I find 'Details' the best for me as it shows file names, date last updated and type of file description entries in a list format but the choice is yours. Just press enter on the format you want. You can experiment by re-issuing the alt+v l command and going through the options to see which suits you best. Once you have chosen a layout, you can now tweak other settings associated with the File Explorer display. Press alt+f then arrow down to 'Options Change settings for opening items, file and folder views, and search.' And press enter to open the 'Folder Options' dialog. This is a multi-tab dialog and you will land in the General settings tab. In this tab you can set what happens when you press Windows+e, the choices being ThisPC (previously known as MyComputer) and Quick Access. Tab through the items in this dialog, they are fairly self-explanatory. When you reach the OK/Cancel/Apply buttons, activate apply to keep the dialog open. Now press Control+tab to move into the View tab. The first item you come to in this tab is the option to apply this view to all folders of this type. Press the shortcut key to accept this option and accept the prompt. Now tab into the advanced options treeview then use the up/down arrows to move through the list. Some of the options I have set are: display the full path in the title bar - On Hide extensions for known filetypes - Off Show drive letters - On Use check boxes to select items - Off The above are only suggestions, you set it up how you want. Finally tab to Ok and press enter. Cheers Chris

Re: the quest to make Patreon consider accessibility
I would say yeah. I'm debating on if we should use the platform @ email or Tal's email address? They have ignored all of my requests, by the way, and whoever is replying to my tweets is doing so in the most blah way possible. Saying this is something that the happiness team would be glad to look into... really? I would say, well, put the twitter response to me on your blog and my email to them. Mention they have ignored me or condescendingly replied to me. In fact, if anybody could share the above... that would be good. Tal is ignoring my phone calls, as well.

Important announcement for addon developers
Adriani Botez
Dear addon developers,
during last years I gathered lot of experience in using NVDA, understanding how the community works, teaching new users of NVDA to work with it productively and the most important, maintaining language communities. I have learned how it is to translate different parts of NVDA including Addons, user guides, websites etc. I discovered how an issue tracker works and how open source projects can improve.
