has there been any word on when the remote addon
will be updated to work with the latest NVDA? When I updated to the latest NVDA
that was the first thing I noticed.

I think it may also now be a part of the NVDA Add-On Store, but I'm not certain of that. I would fetch the very latest version of Add-On Updater: https://github.com/josephsl/addonUpdater/releases/download/23.04/addonUpdater-23.04.1.nvda-addon then manually install it. After installing it, point the source for Add-Ons to the Add-On store and see what it fetches. If that doesn't work, then point the source to the NVDA Add-Ons Directory. See my post, #105024, for how that's done. -- Brian - Virginia, USA - Windows 11 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 22H2, Build 22621; Office 2016, Version 16.0.15726.20188, 32-bit It is much easier to be critical than to be correct. ~ Benjamin Disraeli, 1804-1881 |

Hi, Last time I checked, add-on store does not have 2.6.2 (latest release), but I'm willing to offer it via Add-on Updater's community add-ons website update source soon. Cheers, Joseph |

I was thinking the same. My browser has a bookmark for the old English page, I don't think it ever occurred to me to poll the pages for other languages, since its not been written in any official documentation that I have read.

So why not an option to update from all the sources?

Obviously it would need to poll them all first than make a decision as to which has the latest if they all differ. Brian -- bglists@... Sent via blueyonder.(Virgin media) Please address personal E-mail to:- briang1@..., putting 'Brian Gaff' in the display name field. ----- Original Message -----

But in the real world I'd bet a lot of people will just post it on the other places and hope somebody moves it which they won't.

Yeah, as for me I'm sticking with the Spanish community as they have the unofficial add ons too which I love. They even have some of which I've never heard. I might get some other stuff to play with, plus updates happen within hours depending on the add on(s) there.

Have both officially vetted and unofficial add-ons. Until and unless both types of add-ons can be stored in a single repository, that repository will not be a success. I'm much like Sarah in that I've favored the NVDA Add-Ons Directory over the Community Add-Ons Site for quite a while now. They not only have more add-ons, but processing of updated ones occurs with much greater dispatch. And at times such as we are in now, that's critically important. -- Brian - Virginia, USA - Windows 11 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 22H2, Build 22621; Office 2016, Version 16.0.15726.20188, 32-bit It is much easier to be critical than to be correct. ~ Benjamin Disraeli, 1804-1881 |

As much as I'd love to see that, it's clear that various linguistic communities have created a lot of add-ons that are specific to their venues, which is entirely appropriate in my view. Not everything has to be made for everyone to use, nice as that would be. If these sorts of add-ons are not brought into the Add-On Store, and without the level of vetting required for "official approval," there's zero chance of the Add-On Store becoming the one, true NVDA Add-On repository. At the moment we know we're not there, and probably won't be even near there for a while, which is why I asked about the possibility of having Add-On Updater be able to search "all repositories" that are listed. I doubt that the two for Taiwan and China are going to cause conflicts with the others, and vice versa. And if they do, then someone's got to figure out why, as any given add-on should have only one "identity" even if it were to be resident in multiple repositories, and the latest version would be determined by version number. -- Brian - Virginia, USA - Windows 11 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 22H2, Build 22621; Office 2016, Version 16.0.15726.20188, 32-bit It is much easier to be critical than to be correct. ~ Benjamin Disraeli, 1804-1881 |

Hi,
speaking of add-on updater, and I really don't know how much work this would be, could the updater somehow fetch info on changes automatically whenever an add-on gets updates? What I mean is a kind of "more info" or "view changes" button that would tell us the most important changes of a specific add-on? Sure, you can always go to the respective website, but if we have such a cool, centralised tool already, it would be much easier to see changes in that same dialogue, since the updater checks installed versions against repositories anyway. I often like to know what a particular update fixes before hitting the "update" button.
Regards, Nermin

Add me to the chorus of those who prefer the NVDA Add-ons Directory, over the Community Add-ons page. Until I see changes with that page and the store, I’ll be sticking with the Spanish guys. I very much appreciate the work they are doing, and the quickness with which they are doing it. From: nvda@nvda.groups.io <nvda@nvda.groups.io> On Behalf Of Brian Vogel

Hi, At the moment anyone with a GitHub account can submit add-ons to add-on store if they have:
NV Access is working on refining the submission and validation experiences, with add-on authors submitting new and updated add-ons. The biggest thing folks are talking about is migrating add-ons from old add-on files system to add-on store format. I expect add-ons found in Spanish add-ons catalog will show up in add-on store in the future. Cheers, Joseph |

Hi, Perhaps not through Add-on Updater, but through NVDA itself in the future when the add-on store client comes to life. Cheers, Joseph |
