Re: NVDA development: Making sure NVDA source code/API documentation becomes one of the greatest out there in helping new developers
On Wed, Dec 21, 2016 at 02:19 am, Brian's Mail list account wrote:
However, I suspect that most people when writing code kind of get it as a flash of inspiration or stream of consciousness then debug it from memory and then forget by the end what in fact needed to be commented as they understood it themselves so to speak. Yes, this is a tangent, but a closely related one. I can absolutely relate to getting a top-down "how I'm going to do this overall" flash of inspiration with regard to programming solutions. My period of time for that was traditionally just before I dropped off to sleep, which is why I got in the habit of keeping a notepad handy to write down what that flash of high-level inspiration was. If I had just a very brief note I could generally bring it all back the next day, but often if I had nothing the only thing I could recall is that I'd had a flash of insight but no functional recollection of the nature of that insight. But the coding itself was still, even when it was utterly fluid, something that I self-taught myself to comment when it was being written in terms of what the code segment that followed a comment was intended to do at whatever functional level made sense for the comment. It was never a "line by line" thing. One can, with great personal effort, get in that habit. One can also, as a project lead, with great effort (and, usually, a period of being intensely "hated" by those you're supervising), create a culture where commenting is a must. Rejecting great, big, hundreds-of-lines of code with nary a comment, even if it works perfectly, is often required. I have yet to find those who are focusing the hatred during the period where this is new not coming round to bless the person who forced the issue when they have to come back in say, six month's time or longer, and try to update that code in some way. There always seems to be a period of intense struggle, though, as the "I don't need to comment my code - it's self evident" crowd persists in that delusion and that delusion is strong. Life is the art of drawing sufficient conclusions from insufficient premises. ~ Samuel Butler, 1835-1902

Re: I forgot the keystroke for audio ducking

Thank you Gene for answering Rosemarie’s question and at the same time thinking about the new learners. It will be very helpful. Thank you. Sakina
From:
nvda@nvda.groups.io [mailto:nvda@nvda.groups.io] On Behalf Of Gene
it's also worth mentioning that for those who want really fast and easy access to the manual or the quick keys reference, if you open the item in your browser, you can then create a book mark or favorite for it just as for any other web page. this is also good to know for those who are just beginning to learn about NVDA and who want to use a different screen-reader in the early stages of learning. You can follow the bookmark or favorite and the manual or keys reference will open in your browser regardless of what screen-reader is being used or even if none is. these are web pages stored in the NVDA program and open as web pages.

Re: Google drive and nvda question
Brian, Google Drive supports sharing at various levels of granularity from very fine (individual level, which is what the e-mail address field is about, and even for those individuals you can control precisely how they can manipulate the file) to "medium" where anyone you send the link to can download/view the file without logging in to do so to open to the world such that the file can be found in web searches (which is done using the Advanced link). That's the short version. I just opened the Google Sync Drive folder on my desktop and shared what had previously been an unshared folder with another of my Google Mail addresses along with a Verizon e-mail address I use only for testing. -- Life is the art of drawing sufficient conclusions from insufficient premises. ~ Samuel Butler, 1835-1902

The public folder has never been removed for those

Re: Google drive and nvda question
Gene
I don't know what you will see in the public links
folder. you can experiment. To avoid any problems of context, move
to a file not in the public links folder. Open the context
menu.
Find the item that says somethin like copy
link.
Press enter.
The link is now copied to the
clipboard.
I don't know about sharing files using e-mail
options in the desktop client. I simply write an e-mail using my e-mail
program and paste the link in. Don't forget to change the 0 to a 1 at the
end of the link before sending the message.

I'm not sure about why any email would crash when running jaws, but I'm a little worried about nvda not speaking. I would suggest that when you do an install you make sure its as admin and that Jaws is unloaded as well, as the installation is self voicing.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
If as has been suggested the screenreader is set to no speech, you may need to manually remove any settings files of nvda before a re install. this can be done with Jaws obviously. You should also be able to use the default Windows voice on nvda as well, though some sighted help may be needed if you cannot get espeak to work. Not working implies some issues in the machine, as Espeak is a stand alone synth. Brian bglists@blueyonder.co.uk Sent via blueyonder.

I tell you what has stopped working in all windows versions after a recent windows update, that is the old Scansoft emily 16 bit voice. I have tried to reinstall it but it never plays any more not even in Dolphin products, so they broke this in xp and onwards. the 32 bit voices still work, however.

The issue to me is that Webbie is in fact just a front end of Internet explorer, so in my experience much of the more modern coding in pages cannot be seen by it these days.

Re: NVDA development: Making sure NVDA source code/API documentation becomes one of the greatest out there in helping new developers

Brought back old memories here too.

However, I suspect that most people when writing code kind of get it as a flash of inspiration or stream of consciousness then debug it from memory and then forget by the end what in fact needed to be commented as they understood it themselves so to speak. I'd say that this sort of thing trying to go back and do it can create weird effects in merged code and all sorts of inadvertent typos etc. Not saying you should not do it but it needs a certain sort of person who effectively sees no actual outcome from the users point of view in doing it, but still has to have a very good understanding of several programming languages and different styles and conventions of using them. I've never met a programmer yet that would just settle for doing this considering their talent and knowledge, they would want to add or change things. Just saying.

The situation described is, sadly, all too common. It seems that no matter how often it's emphasized that code must be commented during its creation that seldom happens and for particularly complex code it becomes well-nigh impossible to tease out what certain segments were intended to do. When this effort is undertaken another needs to happen at the same time: Establishing commenting conventions (one can't call them standards, really) that all coders on the project are expected to follow in all new code created and old code opened up for updating. I haven't written any code beyond shell scripts and the like in a very long time, so I doubt I could be of even the slightest help, other than offering the above observation and suggestion. If a "hard expectation" in a given development project is not established, and enforced (for lack of a better term) by occasional review, regarding commenting code it just never seems to happen. I know that I was grateful many, many times that I forced myself to comment code because some of the stuff I wrote was hellishly complex C code that I would never have recalled exactly what I was doing in specific segments long after the initial coding effort when I had to reopen the stuff for updates later on. -- *Brian* * Life is the art of drawing sufficient conclusions from * *insufficient premises.* * ~ Samuel Butler, 1835-1902*

Hi all, Thank you for this web site. I just played a audio book, I used IE, and I had a choice to open or save the book. I chose open, and it opened up in the VLC Media player instead of playing in the browser. Thanks for the site. David Moore Sent from Mail for Windows 10

As it turns out, you can move around. When the file starts to play, go into focus mode with NVDA key space bar and then use the left arrow key to move back and the right arrow key to move forward. Also, you may use the space bar to pause or resume play. You don't have to move to the buttons or the slider. You may use these commands after you switch to focus mode without looking for controls or moving anywhere.
Also, my instructions for saving the file that is playing will work with Firefox.

Since the link you sent appears to be to an mp3 file that streams from the site, I doubt you can move around. I'll test it later and write again. But since the link is to an mp3 file, you may be able to save the book and read it off site in the player you wish.
Try the following: Once the book starts to be read, use the command control s. If a save dialog comes up, save the file. then try playing it on your computer. Newer versions of browsers are often designed to play mp3 files in the browser but they may allow you to save the actual file in this way.

Re: Adobe Connect? Has anyone successfully used this?
I can say that I have. The software works brilliantly with NVDA. It's been almost a year since I last used it. I imagine that it has gotten better, not worse.

I believe that they use Flash. But, if you download the client, everything should work just fine.
