It would indeed be nice if FS would implement something like that, though it would not help users of older JAWS versions that can't upgrade but that still want to use Skype. I sent a proposal of some detail to them years ago, but I missed on timing, because my proposal reached FS just about the time they came out with the ConfigNames.ini file, which did a very small part of what I was suggesting but enough to make implementing my idea rather pointless at the same time.

The fact remains that freedom scientific really needs to institute a better method for handling global scripts. this way there would not need to be an old and new method of installing SkypeWatch, because you could just simply add the global scripts to and In file somewhere, and then the scripts would start when jaws start. I believe we have been asking for this capability for several versions now to no avail. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:skypeenglish-bounces at emissives.com] On Behalf Of Doug Lee Sent: Sunday, April 05, 2009 12:57 PM To: screen access software with skype Subject: Re: [Skypeenglish] Skypewatch Not sure if I read you right there, but I assume you're talking about the old and new ways of setting up Skypewatch. The old way was to add a line to default.jss and recompile. The new way is to create a new default.jss that loads the old one and then loads the Skypewatch scripts after it. I admit the new way is more complicated, but it is also more reliable, and this is not something I can change. I managed to make the old method work most of the time, but it will not work all the time, and it is not officially supported anymore for that reason. It is also harder to keep your JAWS working properly using the old method if you use the JAWS update feature or even install new JAWS versions over top of your current one. Going to JAWS 11 from JAWS 10 would not be a problem, but upgrading JAWS 10 would be. On Sun, Apr 05, 2009 at 02:56:55PM -0400, Jim wrote: The old ways of skypewatch were easy. I can learn the new way, but I chews to leave it alone. Anyone new to jaws and Skype will never get it. If something works don't touch it. Thanks for posting to the skype english list.
