It wasn't a waste. Now we know the issue can come up, and hopefully we
understand why.

Jim,
The hotkey queries for progress bars immediately when you press it, so
it's most likely grabbing one of the ones that are flying by. The script
waits for window activation, and then goes to query the progress bars,
which probably takes a nanosecond longer than the hotkey. Raul and I
have both tried this on various machines, unable to duplicate the
problem. Fortunately, or unfortunately, it does sound like something
specific to your machine.

Ok this is so then then why can I read the progress of these file with the
hot key? It is not just that the progress is happing to fast. Because it
happens for a good number of files and when I minimize the program and
alt+tab back progress tones are herd and reading again. On my system at
least in this program this script just plain stops working. If no one
else
can reproduce it then it is something on my system and no big deal.

Jim,
I can see it happening on my machine, and it's exactly as I describe,
even with the interval set using percentage instead of time. The windows
are flying by quickly, and there's no time for the script to catch the
activation.

Interval? I never said that. I am not even reading based on time I am
reading based on percent as I indicated to Doug and I have it set to play
tones. The script just stops doing anything for a number of file and
this
can't be for the reason you describe.
Maybe it is something with my system though.

I tried this as well, and cannot duplicate the problem. You mentioned
that you have the interval set to 5 seconds. It is entirely possible
that you're simply missing some of the progress bars because they happen
too quickly for the script to catch them within 5 seconds. I can
certainly see that happen, but that's not a script problem. If you set
your interval to 1 second, you'll catch them quicker. But even then, if
the tracks being edited are small enough, the window won't stay up long
enough for Window-Eyes to notice anything is going on.

Hello Jim. I just tried this with Goldwave 5.25 and auto split a file. I
have my progress indicator set to play ascending tones on 5 percent. I
don't have speech enabled for the percentages.
I split a file and it runs through each file it splits as it creates the
wave file. Some of them seemed to go by so fast that there was no
progress, but even the ones which only took around 5 seconds to be acted
upon, I still got the tones playing very fast. I showed Doug my findings
and he's checking the script and will respond with more information.
However, my first guess would be that if some of these are happening so
fast, they may not be acted upon by the progress script. The other thing
however is I did not have to alt-tab away to get the progress indicator
to resume indicating as it would resume on its own even if it seemed to
skip one f the fast processed files.
Hope this helps.

HELLO Doug,
I performed the test you requested and the results are as follows.
Speech and the tone stop.
I am able to read the information with the progress bar hot key. It
changes and so does the title when you go from one file to another. The
progress bar script does nothing. For a while and then it will figure
out that it needs to read a while longer.
It figured this out always after the active foreground window changed
for a second. Usually this does not happen but sometimes it does.

Jim,
So what if you also enable the speech to indicate the progress? I'm
wondering if something is happening where it can't play the .wav files
for the ascending tones? Enabling the speech indication would be a
good
test of this.

Doug

Hi Doug ok no problem.
First I have it set to play ascending tones. It is set at
5% intervals speak progress is not checked.
The progress hot key does infact change when I press it.
For example it might show 10 percent when I press it the first time and
then 35 percent the next as you would expect.
Like I said this window goes and split a number of files in to smaller
files. So it show it gets to the 100% mark and then stops tracking all
other progress after that on the next file and the next etc. the hot
key does however reflect the changing progress.
I have another file to split here shortly would it help if I turned on
speech to see if it only effects the playing of sound?

Jim,
So how do you have Progress Bar indicator configured? Meaning are you
reading the progress bar in seconds or by percentage? What is your
interval regardless? If you press the Progress Or Scroll bar is the
percentage changing as you would expect? Can you tell me the last
thing
the script speaks for you and what the hotkey is now speaking for you?

Hi Doug the window is still active and the commands you site work as I
would
expect. I thought of this and made sure before I reported the problem.
I
also tried to tab around the dialog and was able to move the focus from
the
cancel button to the priority list box with no problem. The window is
very
much active.

Jim,
My guess would be that activation is going away from the window with
the
progress bars. What if you speak the current titlebar when they stop
reading? What if you press the Window-Eyes Progress Or Scroll Bar
hotkey (control-insert-b). If it speak the progress bar then the
script
should as well. But if activation is changing as I suspect, none of
these will speak until activation goes back there.

Doug

Hello,
There is a problem with the progress bar script where if you are in
the
same
window that is performing task after task after a while progress
bars
stop
sounding a tone or reading.
You can reproduce this problem easily buy doing the following.
Bring
up
gold
wave.
Now open a large mp3 file or whatever. Just as long as it is big.
Now auto cue the mp3 file.
Ok now split it. after a while progress bar reading will stop and
you
will
have to minimize gold wave and talt tab in to it again to get
progress
bar
indication back.
Or sometimes window-eyes will start reading it on its own if the
window
title changes long enough for window-eyes to catch it.
Hth.
