Re: Is there a way to run NVDA as a window and not a background process?
Thanks, Luke & Sarah. I would be (and have frequently been) lost without Focus Highlight enabled since no effort is made to keep material on the screen matching the location in the virtual buffer where NVDA has focus.
Even though I'm in a tiny minority when it comes to NVDA users in this regard, Focus Highlight is one of my very favorite functions that NVDA came out with first. Initially as an add-on, now as a part of the core code. It also makes it much easier for the blind and the sighted to collaborate when sitting in front of the same computer. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H2, Build 19044 The difference between a top-flight creative man and the hack is his ability to express powerful meanings indirectly. ~ Vance Packard |

That’s correct. I wasn’t at my computer when replying so I couldn’t verify exactly what it’s called but it sounds like people got the idea. Hope it helps On Aug 28, 2022, at 2:06 PM, Sarah k Alawami <marrie12@...> wrote:

I just checked for add-on updates in the NVDA tools menu after reading this and was told no add-on updates are available. I have the latest version of NVDA. So, do I need to download these add-on updates directly from their respective websites, or will they eventually be available for download through the NVDA tools menu?

I don't see why it makes any difference. I see no connection between the length of a sound being played by an audio player because setup tells it to and when files begin to be extracted. I believe that if there is any difference that worrying about it is an obsession with speed. What in the world difference does it make if an installation, which you don't do often, takes a second or even three or four seconds longer? On 8/28/2022 11:02 PM, Quentin Christensen wrote:

I particularly like the one I use which puts the sounds into a stereo sound map, and it helps with figuring out the layout of a screen if you have been sighted and want to understand a bit out what is going on.

It will need some significant work to make it completely compatible with next years NVDA from what I have seen as it relies on quite a few routines which will be changed or moved then.

There was (is, but it's not been updated/tested with current NVDA versions) an add-on called Audio Themes.

This version took very little time to install, a contrast with the last release version. I think it has to be just Windows taking time to delete stuff in the background sometimes. Brian

I think he does mean the focus rectangle. I’ve seen this, I’ve also I think scene text highlighting, or maybe that also is the focus rectangle.

Add-on Updater and Windows App Essentials 22.09
#addonrelease
Hi all, Add-on Updater and Windows App Essentials 22.09 are now available:
IMPORTANT: these releases require NVDA 2022.2 or later (2022.2.2 or later is recommended for security).
A key change for Add-on Updater is checking add-on download integrity. Years ago, when NVDA add-ons community members were discussing add-on download and updating functionality, one of the concerns was making sure what users are downloading is indeed the package the add-on author has published. Among different suggestions such as hashes and digital signatures, as part of an add-on store proposal, NV Access has adopted SHA256, a popular hashing algorithm used in digital signatures and verifying file downloads to make sure data is not tampered with. Recently, I and Noelia Martinez began sharing SHA256 values for add-on releases not only for power users to compare hash values, but also to prepare our add-ons for submission to the NV Access add-on store (work in progress; discussion and feedback on add-on store should be shared with NV Access directly, not on this forum please as the feature is under development). Therefore, Add-on Updater 22.09 and later will check add-on package integrity by comparing hash values coming from add-on update sources against the value obtained after downloading add-on updates, and if they do not match, add-on updates will not be installed (if add-on update dialog is shown, an error message will be presented). As of August 2022, community add-ons website (technically, a repository used to store compatibility information for add-ons registered on community add-ons website) stores hash values for some add-ons. As for what add-on authors should do, that’s reserved for discussion on NVDA add-ons mailing list.
Regarding Windows App Essentials 22.09, this release resolves an issue reported by a user on GitHub where NVDA will not announce status changes when using parts of Visual Studio 2022. More importantly, this is the first release to require Windows 10 Version 21H2 (November 2021 Update) or later and is officially compatible with upcoming Windows 10 Version 22H2. You can get these add-on releases in a number of ways:
Enjoy the new releases. Cheers, Joseph |
