nvda unresponsiveness
Marisane Moruthanyana
Good day gentle people
I trust you are still well and safe from corona. I am trying. My experience is that nvda is unresponsive to outlook.com interface. Does anyone of you have the same experience? I cannot find the buttons to log out even when I activated the my account submenu where these buttons are found when using jaws. What is wrong with nvda? Please assist. Furthermore, is there any tutorial on nvda with outlook.com? Your assistance is appreciated in advance. Regards Moruthanyana Wally: SA

Re: NVDA Freezing/Crashing with Office 365 - Word and Outlook
Quentin Christensen
Could you get me a copy of your NVDA log to have a look at please, ideally at debug level? Please send it attached to an email to info@.... Include a description of what you have done and what isn't working as it should (so I know what it's about in case I don't get to investigate today). First of all, your NVDA key is either INSERT or CAPS LOCK, depending on how you have NVDA setup. So, to set your log level: 1) Press NVDA+control+g to open the general settings 2) Press TAB until the focus is on ""Log level"" 3) Press DOWN ARROW to get to ""Debug"" 4) Press ENTER to close settings 5) Press NVDA+control+c to save settings. To restart NVDA with add-ons disabled: 1) Press NVDA+Q 2) Down arrow to ""Restart with add-ons disabled"" 3) Press ENTER Next, recreate the issue - do whatever causes problems. To get NVDA's log after that, there are several ways: If NVDA is still running and usable: 1) Press NVDA+F1 to open the log viewer 2) Press CONTROL+A to select all. 3) Press CONTROL+C to copy. 4) Open your email and start a message to info@..., type a little about what you have done and what has happened in the body of the message, then leave a space and: 5) Press CONTROL+V to paste the copied log. Instead of using the log viewer, or if NVDA has stopped and you needed to restart it or the computer: 1) Press WINDOWS+R to open Windows' Run dialog 2) Type %temp% and press ENTER (that's the percent sign, the letter t e m p and another percent sign). Windows Explorer should open to the temporary folder. 3) Press TAB to move to the file list 4) Press N and move down to find up to three files: nvda.log (the log file for the current or most recent NVDA session), nvda-old.og (the log from the previous session) and nvda-crash.dmp (a crash dump with more information created if NVDA itself crashes). 5) Depending on what email program you use, the steps will be different, but attach as many of those three files to an email to info@... as will be useful, and again in the body of the message describe a bit about what has happened. Regards Quentin.

Re: NVDA 2020.2 Beta 1
Quentin Christensen
Before I forget, which error with Edge particularly? Ok looking at your log, there are a few errors with various add-ons. I think not all are compatible with NVDA 2020.2 (or even Python 3?) That is why it is working when you restart with add-ons disabled. If you disable all add-ons and re-enable one at a time until you start hitting errors you will be able to narrow down which add-ons are causing problems. Regards Quentin.

Re: nvda error tone
Quentin Christensen
The Alpha and Beta versions of NVDA play an error sound whenever an error is written to the log. In many cases, when NVDA hits an error, it is able to fall back and try something else which works - so the end result for the user is that whatever they expected happens as it should. The error sound is largely there for developers to investigate their fixes and code to ensure it is not producing errors. We turn the sound off in the RC and Stable builds. There has been discussion previously about how best to implement this sound - whether to have a toggle to enable or disable it for instance, but no change has been made. Kind regards Quentin.

Re: Possible to Push Files on a PC using Remote Access?
Chris Mullins
Hi It would require some work by the remote add-on developers. This technology pushes the clipboard contents to the remote computer’s clipboard then allows you to switch to the remote computer and paste in the clipboard contents wherever you want. When you use the clipboard to move files around it copies the file address to the clipboard then allows you to copy/move it locally. When you use the paste command on the remote computer, you are addressing that computer. Windows has no way of knowing you are referencing a file on a remotely linked computer, so file addresses copied from your local machine would b meaningless.
Cheers Chris

Yes, I did review that little snippet Chris. Just was hoping someone here has figured out a way to do this remotely using some sort of workaround. I feel the Push Clipboard option should allow this in my opinion.
I've temporarily setup a folder on OneDrive that is shared with the Client PC. Just was hoping there was something that allowed the copying of files from one Server to the Client when using a remote Direct PC-to-PC connection.

The way I get files to where I want them is to put them in my favorite

Internet based file storage and push the link to the client machine. I do it with Dropbox by choosing copy link and changing the dl=0 to dl=1 when I get the http link and the file downloads on the client machine in the user's default browser.

Yes, you can setup such a scenario to share files with any online cloud service.

Just would be simpler for me to press [f11] to switch to my local PC and copy the file I need. Then press [F11] to switch back to the client's PC and paste it in a folder, install the utility, and get to work. I mean the Push Clipboard option is already there for text. Would it be difficult to enhance it's ability to allow the pushing of files copied to the clipboard too? Just hoping there is someone here who has come up with a more efficient solution.

For most of my remotes I don't actively upload live in a session. Firstly its not needed and secondly why bother. If its only files, I will download the files in question, and use dropbox or similar. I have a shared folder linked with that email on the user's system dropbox is on or whatever. I download the files and put it there. If the user has something I put it in a file and put it there or they do it. For files and some information, its easier to do this rather than actively emailing and accessing things. If I must run a script I make it on my system, upload it, remote in or whatever run the script. Once I am done, I go back to my system, and clear the folder, the remote will clear itself you do need to empty the junk out of things. If its something you need yourself, go to something like www.cutt.us and make a free account. Make a shortened link and write it down. then open it on the remote that way. I am not sure about cross transfering content because I never do it. Its faster to cloud dump it and its there when I want it. Now if it aint simple like a hardware issue or virus or corrupted system or something where I have to physically access the system, everything from a clean install to listen for faulty things or generally accessing it without the network factors I physically access the system. I have never done anything in reguards of anything bar administration.

Hi You can only push text. If you read the help file associated with the Remote add-on, it does say specifically that you can push text from either side of the connection, there is no mention of files.

Hello,
Been tinkering a bit with the NVDA Remote Access Add-on, and really love it.
Especially love the ability to set the add-on to auto connect to a client's PC immediately after NVDA has launched. Very very useful for controlling my home PC when on vacation.
Do have a question regarding the Push Clipboard feature?
I'm able to successfully push text copied to my controller PC's clipboard to the PC being controlled, but not files?
I figured when you use the [Control]+[c] keyboard shortcut to copy files to the clipboard, I could place them on the client's PC using the same Push Clipboard option?
Doesn't work.
Maybe I'm missing a step or something here, so I'm coming to the list for guidance.
If the NVDA Remote Access add-on isn't able to perform such actions, is there another remote app I can use that does allow this type of file copying flexibility? Copying files from the server PC to the client's PC.
I'm using:
NVDA Version: 2020.2beta1
Windows Version 2004 (OS Build 19041.329)
on a high-end Dell XPS PC.
Thanks for any assistance.

Hey Steve,

Good question, here's some info that comes from the NVDA remote add-on documentation. Hope it helps. Push clipboard The Push clipboard option in the remote menu allows you to push text from your clipboard. when activated, any text on the clipboard will be pushed to the other machines. Tony

You might be able to set the cursor to follow the braille display as you read, which would send cursor movement events to the application and therefore keep the system from suspending. On 6/20/20 12:40 PM, JM Casey wrote:
