Re: Mostly for Javi (proposal): incorporating Explorer Enhancements to Windows App Essentils ad-don
Hi,

Result: it does work with event registration set to selective - it does result in double-speaking in Windows 11 somehow. There is a bug with Columns Review approach: File Explorer headers such as name and size cannot be navigated if focused on an empty folder due to focus movement - one must press NVDA+F2 and then press an arrow key. So based on these tests, it appears the proposal (bundling Javi's File Explorer app module with Windows App Essentials add-on) would not be quite effective. Thankfully, since there is a solution to allow a stack of app modules with the same name to be loaded and since my add-on will not override name change nor focus entered event, I'll go ahead and bundle File Explorer app module with my add-on.

I wonder if this works with selective UIA event registration on - I doubt it but won't hurt to try.

Now I don't remember all details, but I based the empty-folder detection to a solution a bit more reliable than one adopted by explorerEnhancements, that in my experience did not worked so often (even with Ribbons enabled as usual, if I remember well). Sure, more reliable is not perfect... among others, test situations are cycling with tab and shift+tab in folder pane (where my add-on has still any glitch), open and close menu, switch with alt+tab from and again to folder pane. To make ColumnsReview feature working, though, I had to ask (not force) user to uninstall Javi's add-on, as I said here: https://nvda-addons.groups.io/g/nvda-addons/topic/91457018 but obviously I cannot ask a such thing for Windows App Essentials...
