Re: NVDA and Java Access Bridge
Brian's Mail list account <bglists@...>
I am led to believe it does, but often you still need the 32 and 64 bit versions and sometimes java is a bit tardy at its installation in the first place. I keep clear of java software these days, seems to be a bit of what we English call a dogs dinner!

You can do that now. You browse or enter a path, if the path is not there usually windows asks if you want to create it.

Re: Path On Portable Copy

Yes but its the start of the process that is the problem. I think it could default to creating a folder on whatever drive called nvda. and there is nothing to stop you renaming the folder later if you like.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
However to the uninitiated, the installer makes a folder in the program files areas but create the portable from it and its got to be done manually. the least they could do after you select the drive is warn you that it will go into the root if you continue in my view.

If the usb stick has no other files it will put all the files needed splattered on the stick as you found out. I have always made a directory called nvda usually on the usb stick. But lets say at the moment i have 3 copies of nvda. the stable version makes it own directory. The other 2 i made a directory called master snap shots and another directory called next snap shots of which i test them when those files for those snapshots have been put into them. this way it is not confusing for me to tell which is which in the folders. It would be a pane if it done nvda for each directory on the c: drive it would either over write it or one would be called nvda 2 or some thing. It is much tidier making a directory called nvda on a usb stick and then you can have other directories for other files and keep them tidy. the new process in the up coming release for updating the portable is much nicer 2 basically when you go to update it from off the usb stick you are using it will download it to your usb stick then update over the top of it which it did not do before. it is in the next release coming out unless you have 2018.2 rc2 you can try it now.

Re: Path On Portable Copy

No it never did this, it was a bit of an argument about whether it should or not but it seems the result was inconclusive. personally I'd have preferred that it defaulted to nvda, and gave the option to change it much like zip does for extracting files, but I never did see this done.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Basically you can normally tell the files by their dates and times, so one can easily remove them or more usefully copy them to a new folder called nvda. At least then if it won't work you know you missed some! Brian bglists@blueyonder.co.uk Sent via blueyonder.

Hi everyone,
In a few hours I’ll release Windows 10 App Essentials 18.06 and 18.05.3. Due to vast differences in some code sections, both will be released at the same time, targeting different NVDA versions:
Please follow the below procedure from start to finish:
The above procedure does not apply if you are using development snapshots of this add-on (both regular and pilot variants). However, due to code differences between regular and pilot snapshots, regular development snapshots will be paused for a while. Once NVDA 2018.2 hits the air, development snapshot variants will merge back into a single variant – regular builds until a new NVDA snapshot calls for separating the variants again.
Thank you. Cheers, Joseph

Well, that is pretty much in the control of Facebook end not the browser. As Sarah suggested, you can sometimes get one browser to tell the website it is another browser and then get a different look/feel. On the other hand, Facebook has made significant strides to get its interface to work fairly well in focus mode.
