Re: Slack for Windows Accessibility
Luke Robinett <blindgroupsluke@...>
I have to agree with the other person who replied. It’s absolutely doable but it’s a bit cumbersome at times. Once you get familiar with its quirks you do get used to it, and ultimately every area of the app is accessible.

Re: Mostly used media player with NVDA
Gene
I checked. You have to stop play, unselect it, then close the program. Trying to resume play after unselecting it makes the program crash as well as does trying to play a new file. Its an inconvenience but I don't use it much and it’s a minor one for me.

Greetings. For me -- and many others, it is Foobar2000 all the way. I switched from Winamp which is no longer being developed other than the leaked releases which circulate around to Foobar2000 which is equally low-resource and quite well-maintained. Everything is customizable in Foobar2000 and that might also be its foible as you need to define your hot keys first. But once you do it, you can't be happier. Foobar2000 support is also mentioned in NVDA's manual.

Re: Gmail Filter Setup - Specifically, for the NVDA Group Messages
Chris,
In playing with the filtering stuff it appears that if Inbox is one of the labels on a given message, that is the "master copy," because if I delete it from the Inbox it is also removed from all other labels it's associated with at the same time. So if you have something that has the inbox label and other labels, and you want it to be retained elsewhere, do NOT delete it from inbox, just remove the inbox label. All of this presumes you're reading via Gmail webmail. Heaven only knows how an e-mail client interacting with Gmail would handle this, as I know you can remove the inbox label on the web interface and the message will disappear in your inbox under an e-mail client, but there is no way to selectively nuke "labels" in an e-mail client. It would be nice if the labels worked like symbolic links do, and that the message would not be deleted until or unless the last active label is has gets removed from the message or it's deleted from the folder associated with its last label. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 2004, Build 19041 A gentleman is one who never hurts anyone's feelings unintentionally. ~ Oscar Wilde

Re: Gmail Filter Setup - Specifically, for the NVDA Group Messages
Daniel,
You have to have an error somewhere. The initial criteria should be only Subject using [nvda] and Doesn't have Private. The two actions are skip the inbox (archive it) and Apply label with the appropriate label chosen. If that's not working I cannot explain it and would suggest having a look at these pages, and using your preferred method to contact Google's Disability folks: Google Accessibility Get In Touch Page Contact the Google Disability Support Team -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 2004, Build 19041 A gentleman is one who never hurts anyone's feelings unintentionally. ~ Oscar Wilde

Re: Gmail Filter Setup - Specifically, for the NVDA Group Messages
Daniel McGee
Bryan, sorry for the confusion. When I said that I edited the filter. I basically substituted the: to filled address of this list for your suggestion: the subject line including the brackets. Also, I told the rule to: skip the inbox. Plus apply the conversation's check box and finally to go into my NVDA folder. The rule works with incoming messages going into my NVDA folder. However, they still are not skipping my inbox. Thus Having duplicated messages in two locations. I hope this makes my setup more clearer to understand. wondering, is this the way that gmail behaves now by default?

Re: Gmail Filter Setup - Specifically, for the NVDA Group Messages
And, now, it appears to be working as I'd expect based on what I offered earlier. I don't know if a message had come in just before I finished the filter or what, but now the incoming messages (in this case, from me, when I'm posting via the web) are being correctly shuttled to the NVDA Group Messages folder and bypassing inbox.

Re: Gmail Filter Setup - Specifically, for the NVDA Group Messages
Daniel,
It appears there may be issues with Groups.io messages and Gmail filtering, as there are workarounds that have had to be done with Gmail. I am having no issues with filtering messages from the [jawsscripts] messages from freelist.org, but the Groups.io NVDA messages are still having the Inbox label applied to them in addition to the label for NVDA Group Messages, even when I say to archive them. I'm researching further for a possible workaround. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 2004, Build 19041 A gentleman is one who never hurts anyone's feelings unintentionally. ~ Oscar Wilde

Re: Gmail Filter Setup - Specifically, for the NVDA Group Messages
Daniel,
I am confused by your statement "edited the label," as labels are created and assigned to using filters, which are what get edited. I just created a label under Gmail named NVDA Group Messages. I then created a filter on subject that has one thing in it: [nvda]. (open square bracket, lower case nvda, close square bracket) coupled with Does not have: Private. I do not want messages sent to me as private messages to be grouped in with NVDA group messages. The actions are Skip inbox (archive it) and Apply label NVDA Group Messages. If you want it to apply to email messages you've already received, then you also need to check the checkbox for Also apply filter to matching conversations, otherwise it will be run only on new messages as they arrive. It works like a charm. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 2004, Build 19041 A gentleman is one who never hurts anyone's feelings unintentionally. ~ Oscar Wilde

Re: Fluent Reader: a feature-rich and accessible Windows RSS reader
Amir
<LOL>! On the contrary, I think you are too modernistic to accept clients for RSS -- or perhaps email. But personally speaking, I find the web interface for access to RSS feeds quite time-consuming and rather disconcerting, and I can say the same thing about Gmail's web interface when it comes to email. Now as far as RSS is concerned, getting Miniflux, for instance, to display the full content of an article is more time-consuming than doing it in Fluent Reader or Raven-Reader -- another RSS client I'm testing. With that said, I do understand people have different tastes or needs.

It will probably take a century to get me to use a client-based RSS

Hi Bryan and Chris Brian, thanks much for the tutorial. I edited the label with the subject line containing (nvda) also telling to skip the inbox. Alas though, the filter is still not performing the: skip inbox part. Am I still doing something wrong?

However unless you have a place like winamp heritage or my winamp to get plugins or chipamp, then winamp aint much good. Its nice for streamers and the like though to be honest chip files are what its geared towards now. Some say xmplayer works though not tried it. A lot of die hard chippers on a chips folder I am in swear by foobar which I have not bothered with. Vlc is also another player that works. Kmplayer works but I have never tried it extensively. Windows media player can work, media player classic and new media player classic home cinimar do work but only doodled with basic classic player. One thing to note, you may want something like codicguide.com's mega klite codec pack so you don't have issues with codecs and the like, vlc is all codecless as its internalised stuff.
