Braille Extender not saving tables
Deborah Armstrong <debee@...>
Nvda 2019.1.1 current stable. Braille Extender 2019.07.10, also current stable.
This problem was reported on the list by Rob Hudson back in January.
Though the settings let you configure two Braille tables, a primary and a secondary, pressing OK does not save them. I've tried ENTER, I've tried space, I've tried going to another field and pressing Enter.
The secondary table does save but not the primary so when you try to switch tables you get the message:
"you must choose at least two tables for this feature. Please fill in the settings."
I've tried going to the Braille extender settings through preferences and Settings, then Braille extender. also finding the same dialog just under Preferences.
I don't know how you can save more than two tables though documentation implies you can.
Why aren't the tables I specify saving? Is this a bug or a misunderstanding on how the settings interface works?

Alright, well, I'll poke around for another solution then, or see what can be done. At least there is time, and I do think the Python 3 changes are necessary. It is great the good work everyone is doing to make this stuff useful. Thank you!

Hi,

Braille Extender is broken, and it appears the site used for updating that add-on is gone somehow. Others are compatible and working. Cheers, Joseph

Also, Just to be clear, the upcoming NVDA 2019.2 release is still based on the existing python 2 code, so any add-ons and synthesizers etc should still work. We are also working with synth manufacturers, to ensure ongoing compatibility of their add-ons with NVDA into the future. Regards Quentin.

Also, I won't be opening it up to the internet, which is what all of these people seem to have done. Well OK, I guess I can't say I'll never do it, but right now it's just gonna be a media server behind a router, totally local stuff. Good advice though, thanks!

Hi
To get to document formatting quickly use the nvda key + ctrl key + the letter D this will bring up the document formatting dialogue where you can make changes
Depending which menu you might want to go into change the last letter.
I usually only say do the general settings so would replace the D with a G.
the keyboard with a k
browse mode with a B the synth settings with a S The voice settings with a V The keyboard with a K
The mouse settings with a M
There are probably more but depends what you want.
I think on some of them you can also asign as a gesture.

Hi everybody. I need a new NAS. Anybody have recommendations? Somebody wants to sell me a Synology from 2013. I see it has accessibility, at least somewhat.
https://www.synology.com/en-us/knowledgebase/DSM/help/DSM/Accessibility/accessibility
I'm looking for recommendations because I'm currently using a Western Digital MyBook Live. I can access most of it, but the way you delete shares is to click on a graphical icon that doesn't show up, so I can't do that myself. So I'm hoping to find one that has accessible management software. It seems like Synology's might work, but if anybody's got actual experience with something, I'd surely appreciate hearing about it.

On a related note:
Is there a section of the NVDA Userguide or Keycommands telling about these shortcuts to the NVDA Settings? It's something really important to know and I couldn't find it anywhere.

Re: Anybody have accessible NAS recommendations?
Luke Davis
While I don't know anything about that particular gear--I have always built my own NASes using Linux--I will say that I would have misgivings about buying a piece of 2013 computing equipment of any kind.
If it is not still receiving security patches, I would definitely not buy it. See the conversations here recently about Windows XP. Embedded systems are often even worse than old operating systems, when it comes to security and patching security holes. So if that thing has an ARM, Intel, or AMD processor (or one of several others), for example, and it hasn't received 2018 software updates, it's vulnerable to several processor level hacks that can allow someone to read anything in its memory. That aside, depending on what software it's running, it could even become part of a botnet, like most Windows XP systems are. So be very careful with buying old equipment like this. If it's not still getting software updates, stay far away from it, or only use it in a situation where it never touches the internet.

NVDA addon: Community feedback on new Developer toolkit feature requested
Andy B.
Hi, I am requesting the community’s feedback on a feature for Developer toolkit. Before proceeding with the new feature’s description, I must provide a sample problem a user might encounter while using DTK. Imagine you are a user of DTK. You wish to make a dialog in the top-right corner of your display with a button centered in the dialog. The dialog is to have the dimensions of 100px wide and 100px high. The button is to have the dimensions of 75px wide and 25px high. You know the display resolution is 1920px wide and 1080px high. You confidently code up the dialog to sit in the top-right corner of the display. To verify, you launch the dialog, turn on DTK, navigate to the dialog, then obtain its size and location. After checking the size and location, you are happy with its placement: (left, top, right, bottom): 1820, 0, 1920, 100 [100px wide and 100px high]. You proceed to place a button in the dialog. To verify the button’s size and location, you launch the dialog, put focus on the button, turn on DTK features, and obtain the button’s size and location. To your horror, the location is (left, top, right, bottom): 1820, 0, 1904, 25) [75px wide and 25px high]. It is a reasonable guess that the button is in the top-left corner of the dialog. However, you might have to perform some math to figure it out. Now, imagine what this would look like with a fairly complex design or layout… Messy at best! The problem is that all object locations are reported relative to the entire display. This method is useful for gross layouts such as setting up foreground window placement, or header, footer, multicolumn website layouts. Even the web layouts provide their own issues. Wait though, there is a solution to the problem! The proposed feature I would like comments on is the ability for DTK to provide location information relative to the focused object’s parent. In the example given, you could ask DTK to give you the locations of the left, top, right, and bottom edges based on the distance between the focused object and its parent’s edges. For instance, DTK would report the button location as (left, top, right, bottom): 0, 0, 75, 25. You could still obtain locations based on the entire display’s size though. Implementing this isn’t difficult, but I need feature requests and implementation ideas from a user’s point of view. How would you see this feature implemented?

It depends on the website. But in addition to what others have told you, you can try turning off layout tables (nvda+control+b, uncheck the box).

Re: A long talking of Nvda on web
Gene
I don't know what you intended to type. You
must have used control NVDA d, not s, as you write. If you had used s, you
would have opened the synthesizer settings, which you clearly didn't.
Control NVDA d is a shortcut. It allows you
to open document formatting, without opening the NVDA menu, then preferences,
then find document formatting starting in the NVdA menu. I'll let others
describe just how you get into document formatting. I'm not familiar with
the newer interface. But you won't find anything more if you do
that. You are already in document formatting with control NVDA d.
The menu method gets you to exactly the same place.
However, using the NVDA menu and preferences in
that menu are important to know about so you can look through options in
NVDA. The shortcuts we are discussing are fine for getting to a part of
settings immediately, but they don't subvstitute for knowing the basic structure
of NVDA.
