Re: Invisible Dropbox pop-ups

I have this in dropbox 67 to.

To be honest, do you need dropbox running all day long.

I used to run projects with various people which was my main reason to keep it running at all costs, however, usually I sync data once a day and only when I have data, dropbox stays up till its not needed and then turned off.

Even if I do a project, I update dropbox, shut it down and bring it up several times a day as needed and never run it on startup so its not a big issue.

Hi all,

I'm running Dropbox v68.3.92.  Approximately every half an hour or so, NVDA's focus is being moved to a Dropbox window which only seems to contain a single, blank edit field.  The window doesn't seem to stay on the screen, but focus isn't returned to where it was previously after it disappears.  In fact, NVDA reports it as taking up a rectangle of 0 pixels, so I don't know if anything shows up visually on the screen at all.

As you can imagine, having to dismiss these boxes several times per day is irritating.  Does anybody have a work-around?

Hi.  Actually I noticed this behavior only after the latest windows update.  Strange how windows updates affect us in not so convenient ways.  Cheers!

Yes.  I use Dropbox for work, so exiting and restarting the client all day long would be just as inconvenient as these pop-ups.  My Dropbox also contains a large number of source code files.  They're small in size but the Dropbox client takes a long time to index them on startup.  Not to mention the fact that one of the key selling points of the product is that it runs in the background, making cloud storage as convenient as a folder on your computer.

Hi James.  Strangely enough, I have this issue as well.  The only thing I can do is to go to task manager and delete all tasks relating to dropbox.  Just delete every dropbox task you can find under the background process option, and there are a few of those including the dropbox update service.  Cheers!

New addon: BrowserNav

Tony Malykh
 

Hello

Announcing BrowserNav - a new NVDA add-on that provides enhanced navigation keystrokes in browsers.
Download:
https://github.com/mltony/nvda-browser-nav/releases/download/v1.1/BrowserNav-1.1.nvda-addon
Source code:
https://github.com/mltony/nvda-browser-nav/

BrowserNav provides NVDA users powerful navigation commands in browse mode.
For example, with BrowserNav you can find vertically aligned paragraphs, that is paragraphs with the same horizontal offset. This can be used to read hierarchical trees of comments or malformed HTML tables.
You can also find paragraphs written in the same font size or style.
BrowserNav also provides new QuickNav commands: P for next paragraph and Y for next tab.

## Usage in browsers
BrowserNav can be used to navigate by  horizontal offset from the left edge of the screen, by font size, or by font style.
* When navigating by horizontal offset, you can easily find paragraphs that are vertically aligned on the page. IN particular, you can press NVDA+Alt+DownArrow or UpArrow to jump to the next or previous paragraph that has the same offset. For example, this can be useful when browsing hierarchical trees of comments (e.g. on reddit.com) to jump between  first level comments and skipping all the higher level comments.
* When navigating by font size, you can easily find paragraphs written in the same font size, or smaller/greater font size.
* You can also navigate by font size with the constraint of same font style.

BrowserNav works in any browser supported by NVDA.

Keystrokes:

* NVDA+Alt+UpArrow or DownArrow: Jump to previous or next paragraph with the same horizontal offset or font size.
* NVDA+alt+LeftArrow: Jump to previous paragraph with lesser offset or greater font size.
* NVDA+Alt+RightArrow: Jump to next paragraph with greater offset or smaller font size.
* NVDA+O: Switch rotor setting between horizontal offset, font size, font size with font style.
* P or Shift+P: Jump to next or previous paragraph.
* Y or Shift+Y: Jump to next or previous tab.

Please note that some of this functionality has been formerly a part of my other addon IndentNav.

Best regards
Tony

Re: Transition to Screen Readers

Have you corresponded with this individual?   I ask because there is no indication whatsoever of when this was originally put online.  It could be years old for all I know, or it could be brand new.

One thing that's for certain is they should check to see if their jurisdiction has any services for the blind and visually impaired and, if so, see if they can get tutoring.  Screen readers really are not a "learn it yourself" affair, at least not for your first one.  Once you've got the concepts transitions from one to another, while possibly bumpy, are not nearly as daunting as learning one in the first place.

Man, seriously, I'm giving up on this.
I just did what you said now. And this time I made double sure that these were the right commands.
Either this project isn't playable at all or my computer is joking on me, or even my browser is getting into a conspiracy to get me mad. LOL
Anyway, thanks for all of your and also others answers and patience. This community is awesome.
Feeling like a newbie at the end of the day but that's ok. That's the life, isn't it?

         I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do, but it's not what I said earlier other than using B to find the Play button.  After you have focus on it:

If you're using desktop layout:
                Hit NVDA+NumPad Divide  [route PC mouse to NVDA Navigator Object]
                Hit NumPad Divide              [left click]

if you're using laptop keystrokes those steps would be:
                Hit NVDA+Shift+M     [route PC mouse to NVDA Navigator Object]
                Hit NVDA+[                [left click]

I don't know what NVDA+SHIFT+Backspace does and NVDA+] is RIGHT click, not left click.

I see that NVDA+SHIFT+Backspace is described as, "Move System focus or caret to current review position," for laptop layout.  But the caret and the mouse pointer are two different things.

Nvda backspace routs to the currently focused object. I've done this by accident when in my auto pilot program. Not fun when that happens by the way.

Re: Having troubles to play with a website

I just went to another bandcamp page using NVDA, because I can’t remember the original uRL posted, but they should all work the same.

I pressed “b” to get to the play button.

I hit NVVDA+* on the numpad.

Then the left mouse button, the numpad /.

The player activates.

Well I tried to use the said commands to make whatever there play, but still no luck.
As I am using a Dell laptop, I do:
Hit B until I hear play.
Press NVDA+SHIFT+BACKSPACE twice until hear play again.
Press NVDA+].
And that's it. Nothing happens :(

Indeed, all of the following are true:

  1. You will not find the buttons for audio control on the https://golubovsky.bandcamp.com/album/unhuman-voices page except by using the B quick navigation shortcut
  2. Hitting spacebar or enter when you have gained focus on those buttons does nothing.
  3. Using NVDA+/ to route the PC mouse pointer to the NVDA navigator object, then using NumPad slash to activate it will make it play (or, if you're on the jump to next track or other audio control button do what that button does).
