Releasing version 22.12 of Joseph Lee's add-ons #addonrelease

Joseph Lee
 

Hi all,

Version 22.12 of my add-ons are being released and deployed. Due to the number of add-ons I’m updating, it will be divided into at least three parts:

  1. Add-on Updater and Windows App Essentials
  2. Event Tracker, ObjPad, Object Location Tones, Office Desk
  3. Enhanced Touch Gestures, GoldWave, Resource Monitor, Sound Splitter, StationPlaylist

 

The first set of add-on updates (Add-on Updater and Windows App Essentials) were queued for distribution on community add-ons website, and Add-on Updater will offer them on November 28, 2022 at 01:00 UTC (5 PM Pacific on November 27th). I expect to update the second set of add-ons by this time tomorrow (will update the thread then).

 

Changelog:

Add-on Updater: localization updates.

 

Windows App Essentials:

* Supported releases and builds across Windows 10 and 11 will be displayed if attempting to install the add-on on unsupported Windows releases including releases earlier than 10 and unsupported feature updates.

* Removed most of Windows version detection code from WinAppObjs global plugin as it was ineffective in preventing the add-on from running in unsupported Windows releases.

* Windows 11: If running on 22H2 beta builds (22622/22623), NVDA will recognize this fact and record this information in the log.

* Windows 11 22H2 beta: Requires build 22623.

* Transferred virtual desktop switch announcement from WinAppObjs global plugin to CSRSS (client/server runtime subsystem) ap module as announcements come from CSRSS.

* Voice access: Microphone toggle state is announced once again in Insider Preview build 25200 series.

 

Cheers,

Joseph

Hi all,

The following add-ons are now being offered via Add-on Updater:

  • Event Tracker 22.12: adds a new unassigned command to review the last 100 events recorded by NVDA (contributed by Thiago Seus).
  • Object Location Tones 22.12: compatibility update.
  • ObjPad 22.12: compatibility and localization updates.
  • Office Desk 22.12: suggestions sounds will be heard once again in NVDA alpha snapshots when searching for things in backstage view in apps such as Word and Excel.

IMPORTANT: older add-on releases will be offered from community add-ons website. To obtain versions released today, please use Add-on Updater and set add-on update source to community add-ons website. I expect to release the last remaining add-on updates either tonight or tomorrow.

Cheers,

Joseph

Assuming you did this in the usual way, Open the NVDA menu.
Down arrow to tools and press enter.
Down arrow to manage add-ons and press enter.
You are in a list of add-ons.
Find the add-on you want to work with and start tabbing.
You will find an enable add-on button.
Press the space bar.
You will be asked if you want to restart NVDA.  You need to do that to finish enabling the add-on.  Answer yes.

Hi, how are you?  I  should  have asked about  the add-on updater for nvda  and whether it is on by default?  That  was the question that i should have asked.  Thank you for your  response.

Once you install it, it is on, now all you need to is go to tools, and check for add on updates, don’t quote me on the last step as I  hardly do it, I instead wait for nvda to notify me.

As far as I know, all add-ons you install are on by default.  If you want to check, follow the procedure I gave and see if the button says enable or disable.  If it says disable, it is enabled.  If it says enable, it is disabled.  I have never installed an add-on that is disabled by default.
