Re: NVDA reading names of selected files in a file list

Interesting. While I did play with Window-Eyes, it was very, very briefly. And once it was acquired by Freedom Scientific and deprecated I never touched it again.

NVDA and Zoom meetings with more than about 15 or 20 participants
Hi all. On saturday, I have to host a meeting with approximately 60 people. I find that for some reason, the participant list in a zoom meeting doesn't scroll properly. It will read the first 6

Re: NVDA reading names of selected files in a file list
Hi Gene,
I'll give that a try. Hopefully this is something that can be looked into soon since I'm not the only one with this issue.
Thanks all,
Janet

Re: NVDA reading names of selected files in a file list
Meantime, here is how you can tell which files are selected using NVDA. After you select the files, hold control and go backk to the first one you selected. You can go farther up if you want, just

Re: NVDA reading names of selected files in a file list
But Lucas has shown a method where Jaws will announce the 15th and 300th file if they are selected without you having to arrow through.

Re: NVDA reading names of selected files in a file list
Dear Lucas
I have just tried this with Jaws and you are entirely correct.
I selected 6 non contiguous files, that is with control space to make sure that they were not adjacent to each other, and

Re: NVDA reading names of selected files in a file list
The command for JAWS and add-on for NVDA which I've mentioned in my
previous message both do exactly that.

Re: NVDA reading names of selected files in a file list
Window-Eyes used to do this. I could select files from a list, confirm that they were in fact selected, then do what I wanted with them … print, copy, move, etc.

Re: NVDA reading names of selected files in a file list
Hi,
A bit tricky, as it’ll require asking the list control how many items are there and selection count based on state.
In case of Janet’s request, part of this has to do with not being able to

I am not clear about what you're saying. I know that VoiceOver announces the name of each selected item as it's added to the collection of things selected, but so do most screen

You mentioned the NVDA object browser and I would say that’s your best bet. It has a search filter that allows you to decide what object type – form fields, links, headings etc. you want and you

Re: NVDA reading names of selected files in a file list
Actually voiceover can infact do this. I hear the names of the itmes selected and or the number of items selected when I hit a command. So it can in theory be possible.

Hi,
It will override (replace) existing installation if file names are the same.

As a side question, and this applies beyond the beta, but just came up when I was installing it.

To my knowledge, no screen reader can do this. You're talking about a situation where multi-select is in use, and a screen reader can only have focus in one place at one time.

NVDA reading names of selected files in a file list
Hello Rui,
I just had a look at your addon and it doesn’t seem to be compatible with the latest stable version of NVDA. That’s unfortunate.
