Hi David,


Thanks for testing!  Is Announce Audacity Messages on?  Maybe cursor motion should not be controlled by Announce Messages any more since it now has its own option.  I can't remember right now what it would take to change that.  I had all the speech going through a single path so that I wouldn't miss any messages :-).

Hi Gary,
I've just done some testing of your script, and the only problem I've found so far is the the two options announce position and preview motion don't seem to have any effect. That is, if the focus is a track and I move the cursor using, for example, left/right arrow, then nothing is spoken or played. I'm using windows 10 1709, and Jaws 2018.1802.78.
Apart from that, the script works well, and I thought that the readme was very well written,

David.

    Hi,


    I just posted a new release candidate of the script. The installer
    is here
    
<https://github.com/campg2j003/JAWS-Script-for-Audacity/releases/download/rel2.2.0-rc.1/Jaws-Script-for-Audacity_2_2_0-rc1.exe>.
 
    The source is on the |next|
    <https://github.com/campg2j003/JAWS-Script-for-Audacity/tree/next>
    branch.


    It is intended that this will become the 2.2.0 release (except for
    an update to the German README) in a week or so if there aren't
    problem reports.


    New in this release:

    -If we can't get the position field via GetWindowText we try to
    get it with MSAA.  This doesn't get the letters and period, but it
    does get something when we used to get an error.
    - You can now choose to compile scripts with either JAWSUtil.vbs
    (default), scompile directly, or not to compile at all.  To not
    use JAWSUtil.vbs, on the installer command line, include the
    /compile=s switch.  /compile=n will suppress compilation of scripts.
    - Keys to move current track to marked track and exchange current
    track with marked track now remain in the Audacity key layer. 
    This allows moving several consecutive tracks more easily.
    - Added JAWSKey+a&SPACE as an alias for JAWS+a&k (mark current track).
    - Changed copyright (in message in audacity.jss and installer) to
    2018.

    This works with Audacity 2.2.2-rc.1 release.

    The following has not been tested and needs to be:

      * Install to shared scripts.
      * Install via non-admin account.
      * Just Scripts install.
      * Probably more corner cases with installs.


    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm still looking for someone that can tell me how a compile with
    JAWS 10 goes.



    Feedback/suggestions appreciated!


    Gary
