Re: Addon Updater.
P.S. If you are using preview versions of the add-ons, and don't want add-on updater to ever go "backwards" to the most recent production version, then consider putting in an issue on GitHub for Add-On Updater asking for a change, whether via a setting telling it to leave previews alone, or some other way to keep preview versions if their numbers are higher (more recent) than the production ones.

Re: Addon Updater.
What versions of these add-ons show as installed in Add-Ons Manager? You need to report that here. Even in Italian I know what the text of that message states, and the 4 add-ons are completely clear, as are the version numbers proposed to update to.
I have never, once, seen Add-On Manager pick an older version than the one installed unless one is using a alpha/beta version of an add-on. It checks what you have against the repository of the latest released versions and if the version you have is lower it says an add-on update is available. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H2, Build 19044 Constantly insisting on “my rights” with no consideration of “my responsibilities” isn’t “freedom” — it’s adolescence.

Hello Robert. But, if I accept the process, my addons will go backward at their preview versions. What addon updater proposes to me are all older version than I already have installed. Gabe.

Hi, Gabe.

You need to update the mentioned add-on in order to get the newer version from your system. Just install it then restart the NVDA, voila!

Addon Updater.
Gabriele Battaglia
Hi All.
My apologize in advance if I'm not giving all the needed information to understand my scenario. Please ask me whatever is missing and I'll do my best to complete the paint. NVDA 2021.3.3, Windows 11, last stable, 64-Bits. Display Braille MDV Lilly (USB). I don't know how to check the NVDA Addon Updater version, but I grabbed it from a link sent from Joseph Lee in this list, about 1 mounth ago or so. The problem is: everytime NVDA starts, I've got the following pop-up from addon Updater. Sorry, it is in italian but easy to understand. *** Aggiornamenti Addon disponibili: 4 Pacchetto Versi... Nuova versione BrowserNav 2.2 1.15 Console Toolkit 1.2 1.1 Tony's enhancements 1.13 1.10 Windows App Essenti... 22.02.1 22.02 Aggiorna componenti aggiuntivi Chiudi As you can see, all the 4 addons are older than those installed in my system. So I always reject the update... to hold the newer versions. Is that the right thing to do? Do I have to do something different? Is there something wrong with my installations? Thanks. Gabe. -- --... ...-- -.. . .. --.. ....- .- .--. ..- - ..- . . Sent from TB on Windows 10, Genus Bononiae's computer.

Re: Thunderbird And New GMail Settings: What To Expect
Gtt North Bay
Hi all, Yes Brian you are totally correct, I had to add gmail to my laptop using outlook and had to use the two factor atintication in order to add the account even with allow less secure app. Apparently gmail now is a hit and miss on you getting that but sometime soon everyone will have to use two factor.
Thanks, Brian B.

It appears the instructions aren't quite correct or clear.- As is often the case. Quite a few add-ons started as projects of personal convenience that end up being widely shared. Documentation for that sort of add-on can be spotty. I cannot find anything in the existing documentation that states, explicitly, what CTRL + Shift + one through four are intended to do. And in the input gestures for the add-on, when Thunderbird is active and you have access to the gestures for it, these four are not assignable nor shown. There has to be an understanding, and acceptance of the fact, that code developed by professionals for commercial distribution will have different documentation standards than "home grown now handed around" will. While I love good documentation, and indeed emphasized it when I was a project leader, I love even more that there exist myriad add-ons that perform valuable functions that may require a bit of playing with and figuring out on the part of the end user. The vetting for inclusion on the Community Add-Ons page has never had an emphasis on documentation and I have often wished it did. But I'd still rather have the add-ons known to be safety checked but with spotty documentation than not. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H2, Build 19044 Constantly insisting on “my rights” with no consideration of “my responsibilities” isn’t “freedom” — it’s adolescence.

Re: Potential Bug(s) with Mozilla Apps Enhancements Add-On

I found a message an acquaintance sent me with a lot of addresses
in the address field. I checked and its fifteen. My speculation
about control shift 3 reading overflow from the to field is
wrong. Control shift 2 tells me the first six addresses and then
says 9 more. Pressing control shift 3 and control shift 4 says nothing. Perhaps they announce some of the contents of the cc field and maybe one of them says unknown recipient if the bcc field has information.
