There is an add-on for it. That will help quite a bit with usage.

Has anyone any experience using the VLC media player with NVDA?  I've just installed it in order to take advantage of its ability to use a Chromecast, and, while I've gotten it to work, I'm wondering if anone has done a good tutorial for VLC, either with NVDA, or just in general.

Thanks.

OK, some research makes me think that when I use the keyboard shortcut to change from Mailbox view to Calendar View in Outlook that the crash might be related to UIA not being handled correctly. Is there a way I could disable UIA for my copy of NVDA either in intirety or for Outlook just to execute this command without working with the NVDA core? I

So, could I write a Outlook addon that disables UIA when in the SuperGrid or in the INI files?

Thanks!

Gene,

 

the feature is not in next yet, but it will be soon I guess. There are still some things to do.

Hi Adriani

Hopefully the snapshot fixes her problem. I am guessing hopefully she will let me ring her hopefully to a home number and guide her through the steps to get the snap shot etc and where to go in the menu etc.

Do you know if there is any more they need to do for that side of it or is it ready to go?.

Guess i will know when i get more feed back after she trys it out.

Hi

 

Will yesterdays snapshot be able to fix what is in the ticket below.

I asked Brian but because he is say 12 hours behind us I might not know for a while.

 

NVDA stops reading webpages in all browser - saying "unknown" or "pane" (#2807)

The above is the ticket number.

 

If this is the case i know of a person who has contacted me with the what is described in the ticket. I am sure also she is using windows 10 but could get more info from her if needed.

 

 

I am hoping the next snapshot where the tool is under the tools menu might fix the problem or am i wrong?

 

She needs a way to register those files that are broken where it says unknown or pane.

Question from a long time Window Eyes user. At present Windows can’t update to the latest version as it thinks there is an incompatible program installed on my computer. That program is Window Eyes. I have correctly uninstalled WE and have done multiple searches to try and find remnants. My best guess is that it is lurking still in my registry. I am not foolish enough to try editing my registry, and Leary of using any of the “registry cleaners.” Any chance that this addon would find such a lingering registry entry. When I read “other programs” I assume other access software. I am not having the issues described in this thread, but. . . .

Any advice out there?

Hi

 

Just had a quick look is this a snapshot to fix the unknown and pane problems that some people have had in the past? if it is and it works it would be far easier than the other way which i have been posting from time to time.

For some time now this has been known to be due to  registry issues due to uninstallers of other software not correctly registering important files. The latest next snapshot has a tool to fix this, rather predictably in its tool menu, so if you are having such issues, it may well be a good idea to try this version of nvda and use the tool.
it should do no harm, but do remember that next snaps are bleeding edge code and will need to be used with caution. Always back up your previous version and set a restore point before doing any work on registry files. Note the account that its used on has to have admin access or it won't work.

Yes. I find this particularly useful when putting stuff in command line. For a while there I was playing around with an Apple 2 E emulator that had to be run from command line and the paths needing to be entered were getting quite long.

Hi All,

I came across a great Windows keyboard command on-line…

This will be useful for working with music files, like making a playlist, but sometimes I hate those browse boxes when it does not open into the folder where the file is, and you have to back out and find the folder where you are wanting to open or attach a file.

So when you have the folder open and you are on top of the file, do the following:

Shift + applications key

Then press the letter A.

This will put the entire path and file name into the clipboard, ready for pasting into that browse field.

This works with or without a screenreader.

Hi Group,


On one list I am subscribed to, an individual using a foreign font or
character set has a back slash in his address field. With NVDA it reads
&#92;. I looked up this expression and found it was a back slash
symbol. When I tried entering this expression into the NVDA speech
dictionary and substituting back slash for the proper pronunciation,
NVDA locked up. I had to run Narrator and remove the item from speech
dictionary to restore NVDA to usage.


Has anyone else noticed this issue and if so, is there a solution?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Folks:

Has anyone developed an add-on for the Online Bible program? The Online
Bible is one of the most widely used free E-Bible programs out there. That
would make it a perfect fit for NVDA.

If this has not been done, can anyone point me to a resource where I can

Thanks all over the place.

Does no icon in the tray when the an nvda portable version you just created runs count as an issue?

Subject: [nvda] IMPORTANT COMMUNITY ADVISORY: NVDA next snapshots will include wxPython 4.0.1

Hi NVDA community,



The following is considered important due to massive impact it'll have:



For those following the GitHub issue:

https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/7104



wxPython 4 came out in February 2018 (subsequently updated to 4.0.1 a few
days later). As this is a necessary milestone on our preparation to move to
Python 3, wxPython 4 watchers (including NV Access, I, Leonard de Ruijter
and others) felt it would be good to let the community test wxPython 4
integration for a while. As the chief investigator for wxPython 4 migration,
I'm happy to announce that, as of today, NVDA next branch snapshots will
include wxPython 4. However, this means it'll have issues, the biggest one
being outdated add-ons (unfortunately, NVDA Remote Support add-on is one of
those add-ons that won't work under wxPython 4 due to calls to deprecated
methods). If you run into other issues or bugs, please let me and other
develoeprs know ASAP via GitHUb or email.



notes for community:



* For NVDA Core developers: if you are working on any sort of GUI
work, please test wxPython 4 migration via a private branch or two. This is
especially the case for me and Leonard as we are both working on GUI edits
(Leonard's work on multi-page settings dialog and my work on add-on update
client interface).
* For add-on writers: please update your add-ons as soon as possible.
When updating your add-ons, please try using code paths that'll work on both
wxPython 3 (Classic) and wxPython 4 (Phoenix) to maximize compatibility).
* For users: as noted above, please report any bugs with wxPython 4
integration via GitHub or email as soon as you run across them.
* For Python 3 researchers: I advise pausing our research for a little
while until wxPython 4 lands on NVDA master snapshots.



Thank you.

Cheers,

Joseph
