are they joking with us
Hello, I have done a clean-install of 10.8 on my new air since I had very strange problems with my air and , I was using in installation of 10.8 with some peaces of 10.7.x, 10.6.x and 10.5.x from my time-machine backup. So, a clean install seems a good idea to determine if I had software-problems or other problems. I have discovered that I can't import all my preferences of voiceover even if I use separated vopref-files by item or if I use a global vopref-file that was created before or after the introduction of mountain Lion. I can't understand this at all since that bug was also announced since 10.7 and since there where also other comments on this lists about this treads, I am shore others have reported this also. Even, the speech bugs with the nuance voices aren't fixed where some things are spoken strange if there is a dot in the word without spaces before or after the dot. This is also a bug since 10.7 and, one year and a major release later, no changes in this. Do they have other priorities are there not enough people, is the last time of voiceover announced and perhaps something new is coming (with new problems of course like outspoken before voiceover)? I am angry that this kind of bugs still exists after one year and a major release. frustrated regards, William -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: are they joking with us
Hi William, , not sure what issues you're exactly having when it comes to importing VO preferences. To test it, I exported mine, saved the exported file onto my external Hharddrive, then reset all VO preferences back to defaults, and then imported the file that I'd saved previously, and it worked flawlessly.

RE: are they joking with us
Hi, I think he's talking about the inability to import preferences that were made with previous versions of OS X. For example, you can't import a preference file you made in Lion into Mountain Lion. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Dan Eickmeier Sent: Monday, August 20, 2012 2:37 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: are they joking with us Hi William, , not sure what issues you're exactly having when it comes to importing VO preferences.

Re: are they joking with us
Here's the thing: If you try importing VO settings from a different version of OSX into another version of OSX, it's not going to work. This is because you're taking a set configuration from a different version of Voiceover as well when you do this. So, if you in theory, had pieces of OSX 10 6, 10 7, and, 10 8, God help you by the way? LOL! If you try importing settings say from 10 6 into, say, 10 8, it's definitely not gonna work. Same vice versa. If you try importing from 10 8, back into say... 10 7, it won't give very desirable, if any, results.

Re: are they joking with us
To simplify things, you can't import VoiceOver Preferences from an earlier version of Mac OS X with ease. What I did was to copy the VO preference folders from my user preferences library and copy them in to my library in Mountain Lion. This maintained settings from all the way back to Leopard in some cases. Take Care John D.
