Hi James,
Interesting, I hadn't encountered this before, although I personally don't
have a Surface laptop - which model do you have? And which build of
Windows are they running?
As you've found with your Lenovo's, the general advice I gave should
usually work, but evidently there is something different happening with the
Surface. Can you get me a copy of the nvda.log and maybe the nvda-old.log
files from the %temp% folder on one of the surface machines (ideally from
when it was installed, and from when it wouldn't start, rather than the
portable copy).
Regards
Quentin.

Hi Quentin,

I installed the software with an admin account and can run the software
without issues on the admin account. When I log in as a standard user,
NVDA will not run and this is only an issue on Microsoft Surface
laptops(All our Lenovo units run fine). Currently I am running NVDA in
Portable mode to get my users up and running but I was hoping to resolve
the standard install.

Thank you,
James

Rui,

Does there exist a page accessible by "the general public" where one can
browse for older versions of NVDA. I have had occasion to want to do this
in the past. I thought I'd try the URL you gave, cutting it off at
"releases," but if you try to go directly to that page you get a 403
Forbidden message. You even get the forbidden message if you cut off only
the executable file name at the end.

There are plenty of legitimate reasons one might wish to acquire an old,
even long out of support version of NVDA. Is there a central repository
where these can be easily downloaded?

Hi all.
  Would like to ask please if it is possible to download the prior version of NVDA somewhere?
  I am using the slack chat application at work and it was working perfectly fine with last version of NVDA, however after version 2019.2 installation I started to have problems with that, it does not read chat messages.
  Would greatly appreciate, if someone could please point me to the older version download.
Thanks.
  Igor.

Hi,

It appears the flame has died out from the candle i.e. we are missing very crucial information: we need the name of the app please. Without that, even if you report this problem to the development list (which I advise you do), we can't help you in resolving this with accurate answers.

Cheers,

Joseph

Hi,

I'm irritated about the Calibre addon for NVDA. Does it allow reading
ebooks with Calibre or is it only to make use of the converter
capabilities? Even with the addon installed I'm not able to read any
book content in Calibre's ebook viewer. There is no browse mode and also
the review cursor/object navigation doesn't help.

Best regards,
Jens

Oops, I ment NVDA-F1...

Vincent,

If you can get the content with the screen review just go there and hit NVDA-1. That openes the NVDA log with all information of the object at the end of the file. There you will find the className and Control-ID. Maybe you can take it from there.

Cheers,
Ralf

Subject: [nvda] appModule, where to find help?

Hi list,


Sorry if I'm off-topic, should I have sent it to the development list? Isn't it trivial?


This has been asked many, many times (perhaps indicating this information is hard to find). So here I am, trying to implement yet a new appModule for a very specific reason and a very specific software. The software in question displays information in the console and this information isn't "spoken" automatically anymore by NVDA. Should be a simple fix right? But admittedly, it forces one to introspect on the generated NVDA objects and try to figure where the information is.


So I open the app. I press some keys. I can read the content in review mode just fine. I press NVDA+CTRL+Z to open the Python console and then inspect the 'focus', 'fg' and 'nav' objects (wasn't sure of the difference in the first place). All of them can, thank goodness, point to the window title in their name. But I can't find a way (either easy or complicated) to get to the window text, the one you can access with the review mode. So, since this can be accessed with numpad7 and numpad9, I guess NVDA can see it just fine. I would just like to automate, so that new lines of text are sent to NVDA and its supported Braille display if anything happens (yes, this used to work, but this would be a perfect opportunity to dive into appModules).


In short, I need some data. I would need to plug into some kind of event. I would need for my appModule to watch for this event and, when it triggers, optionally send some text to NVDA. How am I going to find the data itself? Shouldn't opening the app and opening the NVDA console and examining the generated object would have led to the answer? (For the record, I'm afraid I couldn't examine every single generated object, I concentrated on 'focus, 'fg' and 'nav, their parent and their parent's children, with no luck).


Any help on this would be appreciated.


Thanks in advance,


Vincent
