I accidentally removed an application name from the startup
list. It is the Speech Synthesis Server which surprisingly does
nothing bad to voiceover but kills the time announcements and other
non-voiceover text-to-speech. I did find the very long path and
file name I need to put back but I can't seem to make it happen.
I go to system preferences and then users and login
options and find the login options containing the remaining
startup items plus the add startup application button. After pressing
that button, I get several file tree viewing options and a
search field plus the default button to add the application.
Here is where the confusion happens. I have the path
ending with the application's name in the clipboard buffer so I
dump it in to the search field. A new menu opens up that has two
rows. The top row is called "file names" and the bottom row is
"named matches" and the path and application name appear to the
right of that header.
After closing the menu, the default button is greyed out
so you can't add the application name.
To be clear, I did not delete the application, only it's
name in the list of applications that automatically start up
when one logs in to this account.
Thanks for any ideas or explanations that blow the fog away.
