Version 23.02 of Joseph Lee's add-ons wave 1: Add-on Updater, Windows App Essentials #addonrelease
Hi all,
The first wave of 23.02 releases are now available:
- Add-on Updater 23.02: https://github.com/josephsl/addonUpdater/releases/download/23.02/addonUpdater-23.02.nvda-addon
- Windows App Essentials 23.02: https://github.com/josephsl/wintenApps/releases/download/23.02/wintenApps-23.02.nvda-addon
Add-on Updater will offer them from 02:00 UTC on January 30, 2023.
Changelog:
Add-on Updater:
• NVDA 2022.4 or later is required.
• NVDA will no longer offer what appears to be older add-on updates for most add-ons after checking for add-on updates. This applies to add-ons with version text of the form number.number.
Windows App Essentials:
• NVDA 2022.4 or later is required.
• Various features and fixes that were included with the add-on are now part of NVDA. These include announcing "dragging" when an item is about to be dragged and announcing drag and drop target effects.
• Removed additional UIA event tracking facility as the last set of additional events (drag and drop) are included in NVDA 2022.4.
• Improved Windows 10 and 11 taskbar experience, including announcing results of rearranging icons when pressing Alt+Shift+left/right arrow keys (Windows 11 prior to build 25267) and reporting item position when moving through taskbar icons (Windows 10 and 11 prior to build 25281).
• In Windows 11 22H2, Open With dialog can be navigated using mouse and/or touch interaction.
• NVDA will announce empty folder text inside an empty folder in File Explorer.
• In aps such as File Explorer and Notepad where tabbed windows are supported, NVDA will announce the name and the position of tabs when switching between them.
• Notepad (Windows 11): NVDA will once again announce status bar contents in version 11.2212 or later, particularly when multiple tabs are open.
These releases were queued for distribution on community add-ons website.
Cheers,
Joseph
Good, thank you very much for the empty folder.
In Spanish when I enter an empty folder I do get the message, but
repeated, 2 times it says this folder is empty.
Thank you very much for your work.
