I forgot to write a bit on my previous message until about three seconds after I sent it:
Known Issues in the alpha scripts: Sometimes you will hear JAWS say "unknown field" as you move around. These are places where JAWS used to say nothing at all. I usually figure something is better than nothing. The normal solution is to tab/shift+tab a time or two to get focus onto a more sensible part of the Skype window. There are some tab stops, though, that really have nothing to say. Examples appear when you edit your profile. I named the ones for which I found a purpose, but I welcome any info on the ones that remain. On Fri, Feb 15, 2013 at 08:17:25AM -0500, Doug Lee wrote: This is not a script release for everyone. This is an alpha set of scripts designed for Skype 6.2 that should also work with 6.0 and 6.1. It is also meant to work with JAWS versions as old as 6.0 and up through 14.0. That's a pretty broad claim for me to make without means to test, and I've changed several things; so I welcome testers. For anyone who wants to test these, please read and keep the following information handy: 1. Make sure you have access to the installer for your current scripts in case you need them. The latest actual script release is still at http://www.dlee.org/skype/ 2. Download and run, or just run directly if you prefer, the alpha script installer, which is at http://www.dlee.org/skype/sk62test.exe 3. When the alpha scripts are installed, make sure that Insert+Q, when typed from within Skype, says "revision 736." If you get a different revision number, your alpha scripts are not running yet. 4. Once you're sure the alpha scripts are running, note any problems as you move through Skype. I labeled profile fields, the Options tree, Send Contacts fields, and a number of other items in Skype. I had labeled many of these before, but over time things changed and stopped working as intended. 5. If you notice any problems, send a message to this list including your Skype version, JAWS version, Windows version, what you were doing at the time, and what happened and should have happened. The rest of this message is more for the technically inclined than for everyone else: The biggest change in this alpha script set is in the system I use to label fields. I have created sort of a "first match wins" approach and then made exceptions where necessary, whereas in past scripts, it was more of a "last match wins" situation. This allows me to take advantage of some Skype-provided MSAA information that was previously ignored while still applying my own names to fields when such information is not available in a particular Skype version. Thus, for example, the field I've been calling "Search Contacts, groups and conversations" is named by Skype itself as "Search" most of the time but may change its name based on what the user is doing. The alpha scripts will, when finding the actual Skype field name, use that, and will otherwise use the name I've been assigning manually. -- Doug Lee [email protected] http://www.dlee.org SSB BART Group [email protected] http://www.ssbbartgroup.com "Is your cucumber bitter?
