Hi, David.
I'm saying that you put way too much thought into my response. <grin>
GW-Apps is specifically geared toward messages containing content that
is app related, whether that be from a developer, or from an end user.
With that in mind, I was simply suggesting that Kevin post his request
to the apps list. Nothing more. Nothing less. I wasn't suggesting he not
post to gw-info. Apparently I should have tacked on an "as well" to the
end of my sentence, because that simply little attempt to be helpful
riled up quite a few people. But Kevin and I have communicated with one
another both via email and via the phone for many years, so I'm
confident that he understood the intention of my suggestion.

Aaron,
I am not going to argue anything here. Still, I do wonder a bit, your
comment.
Whenever a developer have technical things to discuss, or anything
'behind the scene' for his app, I do understand that things have to go
to the app-lists. But sometimes, a developer is doing a bit of
research, as to the general opinion of his app or parts of the
functionality he wants to implement. Many a user is not subscribing to
any of the more techie lists, and so never would be given the cnace of
joining in, when comes to cases like this. Now, the developer could
have released his app, and then got a storm of people telling how
things should have been done. Problem is, that many times you would
have to decide exactly how to deal with a given problem, right from
the beginning. Not always is there a reason for doing any user
research, as most decision would be of a pure technical and
developer-based character. But a few times, there might be a need for
somehow more user feedback.
Now, just to make things clear: Are you saying, that general questions
of this kind, should NEVER be opened up for the general community to
have their saying? In a sense, if a person do not bother to subscribe
to any of the special lists, due to them being overflowed with a good
chunk of techie stuff he doesn't make head and tail to, well then he
is not worthy to have his saying in general maters, when a developer
has to make general decisions. Would be nice, to have this clarified,
so as to avoid falling into the same pitfall of 'wrong-posting'
questions later on, whenever there is the need for a bit of app
research in the community.
Thanks,

You should post this request to the gw-apps list.

Hi:
I have just been working on an app which would speak the text in the
clipboard when you did a cut, copy or paste. I got the idea from a
client who asked me if there is a way to make Window-eyes speak the
text you are pasting from the clipboard.
I am using different keystrokes than the original cut, copy and paste
functions because I want to give people the choice of cutting, copying
or pasting text with or without hearing the contents of the clipboard
read to them.
Before I put this app up on the App Central website, I want to ask the
list if people think it would be a useful app for Window-eyes users.
I would welcome any, and all opinions, and if there are people who
would find it useful, I will proceed to make it available on App
Central.
