Agree with Jim here. When I've looked at this before, I get really odd
results. Sets don't switch and things just start using default scripts
instead of the scripts it should use. So, there's nothing to indicate what
is actually happening, and it's too confusing, as I've no idea what's going
on. The bottom line here is that this is only happening very occasionally.
Jaws modifies and creates jcf files, but under what circumstances and why is
what I'm trying to figure out. I'd like a situation where I can repro this,
but it doesn't seem as if anyone knows either. I've only come across this
once or twice before with hundreds of installations. Maybe the user isn't
being as straight forward as what they say perhaps?...maybe they have done a
bit of digging and changed things?
I've just taken another look in the manage applications and at the moment,
all sets that have a jcf file included at the moment are checked, the ones
that don't are not checked, but why would these automatically get checked?
I don't want or need any jcf files for some of these sets. Equally, that
doesn't explain why an existing jcf file would get modified if it's already
checked. So, what I'm saying, even if all of these had a jcf file, it looks
like they can be automatically modified anyway, which creates issues. Best
Steve.

I will mention that I had problems with earlier versions of jaws with Manage
Application settings. When I would disable something, other apparently
unrelated things also got turned off. I dont' know if that is a problem with
2020 or not. I have not looked into it. but I know it was a problem back
as far as jaws15.

Steve,
Will you please look at JAWS>Options>Manage Application settings?
Surprisingly, in my case, some of the Samplitude component are unchecked.

Hi folks. The samplitude scripts at the moment are made up of a number of
sets of scripts that switch when needed. So, for example:
SamplitueMain set, jkm,jss etc
TrackManager set, jkm, jss etc
and so on.
For some of these, I provide a jcf file, which is only a highlight colour
or
setting graphics to labelled. So,
Samplitude.jcf.
TrackManager.jcf
Now, a user who installed the scripts was having issues, and the problem
is
a jcf file has been made for each set of scripts in the solution that
previously didn't have a jcf file, along with the existing jcf files I
ship
have been modified. The lines in these jcf files that's been added are:
[Options]
AppSettingsEnabled=0
The result of these files being created, or the above lines being added to
the existing jcf files, is that Jaws just uses default scripts and not the
ones it should.
So, my question is, how are these extra jcf files getting created?, and
how
are the existing jcf files getting modified? They assure me that they
haven't done anything, and I've no idea why these files/lines are being
added/created. I appreciate verbosity changes could do this, but that
would
mean they would have to make changes in all the sets of scripts, which I
don't think would happen at all. Plus, this line AppSettingsEnabled=0,
doesn't sound like a verbosity setting to me, but of course I could be
wrong.
I'm just trying to understand where this is coming from, how this
particular
setting is accessed and activated. Could it be done by accident? Is there
a
key combo to do this? Any ideas on this setting and why it's modifying
and
creating these jcf files would be much appreciated. Best Steve.
