Re: Windows 10 Fall Creators Edition
Abbie Taylor <abbietaylor945@...>
What about files being lost? Someone on another forum said all his files in his documents folder disappeared after he upgraded. I know it's a good idea to back things up before upgrading, but I'm wondering if anyone else had this experience after upgrading.

I am in detail view but am finding that the issue is that File Explorer does not show the size of folders. It does show file sizes.

Re: google chrome
Richard Wells
I had a strange situation this morning where I was doing stuff
with NVDA and Chrome and I SHIFT+TABBED and ended up on the
address bar. That would have been fine, but I couldn't get back to
what I was writing in Facebook. F6? TAB? SHIFT+TAB? Nothing
worked! When others experience this, is there a magic key
combination to get back to the web page? The only way I got back
into what I was writing was by moving my finger around on the
mouse pad until I heard something on the page and did an actual
left-click on the physical mouse and the page came back in focus.

NVDA and the audible app
Chris Shook <chris0309@...>
Hi,
This is mainlya request for the developers, but I'm posting it here hoping someone tells me I am mistaken. I use the Aubible website for Audio book purchases and downloads. I conteacted Audible with a request of helping me fix an issue with the Audible download manager. WHile they helped me fix the issue, the woman warned me that they would eventually phase out the Audible download manager because of the Audible app for Windows 10. As of right now, unless I am very much mistaken, NVDA nor JAWS will work with the Audible app for Windows 10. I would ask that someone look into this as it may become necessary for those of us that use the website to use the app to download books in the future. The lady I talked to said she could not give me a time frame on when they would do away with the Audible download manager, but that they had already stopped updating it. Regards Chris

It has to connect to a server of course, and this is probably why its considered an issue. This came up ages ago with a different anti virus, and the answer was to allow that file to be accepted by the system. Maybe the new version of the add on has a different named file and thus its not covered.

That depends on the way the page is designed. Many pages stop you going back which is one reason tabbed browsing was invented of course.

Re: Are There Now or Has There Recently Been a Problem with Donating . . .
Brian's Mail list account <bglists@...>
Often if your card has expired, yet your new card is on their account at Paypal you have to go in and make the new one default as some banks systems are so bloomin thick they never ask to try the other card. What I did was delete the old one making the current one default, by default, if you get my drift.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Other things can upset it. Sometimes you can tie it to an account without a card but have a transaction limit of some sort set. This can cause problems as well. Very handy for stopping fraud of course, but if your account is not using an overdraft and the credit limit is small, it tends to just not know what to do. I guess it is dangerous to use a debit cared, as credit cards afford some protection, but I've not been hacked yet, and the banks do tend to put the money back in a goodwill gesture so far if people I talk to are anything to go by. But, this is all academic. It has to be something wrong with the set up that gives such errors, and only trying to find which bit is the solution, from what I've read here, its usually the bank. Some banks will not agree till you reply to an email they send you and click a link in the account. That is a bit paranoid unless you are talking about thousands of pounds or dollars, in my view and I have found my bank normally calls me if their algorithm spots something out of the ordinary.

I ask because a friend of mine who's a long term NVDA user, and has donated many times along the way, mentioned to me this evening that when she did the latest update she could not get through making a donation. We're in the USA, and she describes the situation as being that no matter how many times she tried to get the donation currency set to USD and enter her credit card information things kept reverting back to Australian dollars and starting the whole "fill in the form" process again. She's been a screen reader user since there were screen readers, and knows NVDA inside and out. I thought I'd mention this here as it would be a shame if this were not an isolated incident and others who wish to donate were being stymied in doing so. -- Brian - Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1803, Build 17134 The psychology of adultery has been falsified by conventional morals, which assume, in monogamous countries, that attraction to one person cannot co-exist with a serious affection for another.

Re: google chrome

Hi This has been a problem with Chrome for a while now. I have stopped using Chrome because of this and I have used the feedback function to report the problem but nothing has been done.
Perhaps if they get more reports about this broken functionality they may do something about it.

That is not how it works any more as far as I know. You get a translation when you get the confirm bit and you can go back and amend it if you do not like it. It really is, I think due to the charges levied by the bank or payment service being variable so they cannot really tell you at nv access end how much they will get in anything but aud any more. The point is at least for me, when you get to the bank or paypal end it will tell you how much you have spent, which is always more than the amount they get if you did a straight convert, but just like in places where you change money the charges for the service do vary.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
At least this is the reading of the current situation. It would be very difficult to do this any other way, since the charges can and do vary. Recently paypal increased their charges, but so did many English banks, so what can you do about that? Not a lot. Brian bglists@blueyonder.co.uk Sent via blueyonder.

We're located in the USA and she's not using PayPal. The issue is that, at least on that attempt, the donate mechanism would not do what it conventionally does, allow you to pick your currency of donation so that you actually know what you're donating. It all gets converted to Australian dollars in the end, but I, as an end user, would never want to express my donation in a currency whose value I am not certain of. If I lived in the EU I'd want to know what I'm donating in Euros, in the UK in Pounds Sterling, etc., etc., etc. It was just weird that in the attempt I mentioned it allowed you to do the usual selections, but the donation would not go through and everything reverted to Australian dollars immediately after the failed attempt. I just wanted to put this on record since it might be some sort of persistent problem. It also might not, but you can't even check on what you don't know about. -- Brian *-* Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1803, Build 17134 The psychology of adultery has been falsified by conventional morals, which assume, in monogamous countries, that attraction to one person cannot co-exist with a serious affection for another.
