Hey
Sorry for my late reply.
I would like to say that it was very nice taking part in this meeting.
Thanks for the links and for the advise.
I found an very good smartphone which is samsung S22+ which I am planning
to buy it shortly.
I had to leave early on the meeting as I had another meeting.
Also with the files either to one drive or other folders I would like to
add something that it might help.
So yes I agree on opening the file explorer by window and e together.
Then finding the file. Here is an good tip when you are tabing few times
you get to quick access and you can press the letter of the folder and same
to the file. I find this much quicker then pressing the down or up arrows
it helps me a lot. Yes do not open the file and press controll with C
together. Once you have it coied then press the backspace to get back to
the folders and backspace again it brings you the quick access and you can
press o on its own and it should bring you the one drive or if you are just
looking for drive press d you may have to press the letter d few times as
if you press it like once it could just bring you the desktop or downloads
or documents. Once you are in the right folder like for example drive
pres conroll and V together. Also if you just want to get to the folder or
file but do not want to copy or pastre it it works very simlar so open file
explore with window and E together. You should be in quick access and
press the letter or somethings the seond letter of the name of the folder
as it is much quicker then tabbing the hall list once you have the folder
you can do the same type in the letter of the file name. You may have the
press the letter few times as if there files or folder with this letter
once you press enter and it opens the file. Here is an good tip too if you
have opened last files you can press the windwo and E together and press
the down errow key once or twice and it brings you the resant files. Of
course if you lots of files that where last open it may not show in the
resent files. This is why it is important to fave the files into folder.
If you have files that are not needed in the resent files you can press
control and f10 together this open is the contance minu which you have to
press down arrow key until you find remove from quick access. If you press
on the remove from quick access the file will not be any more in the resent
files. To delate an file or folder go into file explorer window with E
together and press the letter of the folder you have to type the same
letter few times if it is not finding the folder you are looking for if you
want to delate the folder and you are on the folder that you want to delate
then do not open it just press the delate key and the folder. It is the
same with the files. Go into file explorer window key with E together then
press the letter for the folder then press enter on the folder. Once you
have that done type in the letter of the file do not open it and once you
are on the file that you want to delate press the delate key. Also if you
want to rename an file or floder you are in file explorer window with E and
once you are the right folder then press f2 and type in the name you want
to have and press enter. The same way with files be in the file explorer
window with E press the letter of the folder once you have this press enter
and then press the letter of the file and do not open the file just press
f2 and input the new name.
Sorry if some you know this but I think it is good to share it anyway. It
might not work for everyone.
Also with the emails what about if you copy the link into notepad or even
word. Also if the email is in html and people are not understanding copy
the email and paste it into word and press the alt a for save as and then
press z and you wil have save as and save it as doc or like microsoft and
see does it change to normal text. I am not sure will does work I will try
for the meeting to find out more as there should be an way to transfer it
to just text not code.
I would like to say huge thanks to Cearbhall it was an fantastic meeting.
If you want any questions just ask them away allways happy to help.
Thanks everyone and wishing all the best

10 participants:
The lively Cork meeting braced itself to deal with the many stories of
corruption on almost every front.
Pat made valiant efforts to send an uncorrupted URL to the FB-Exchange list
without success. The issue is tangled up in the dilemma of character
encoding
and the format of messages in text or HTML or a combination of both.
Initial work-arounds have been reported in previous meetings. Sadly, the
steps to resolve those difficulties are frustrated by slight changes in the
operating system and in newer versions of email programs.
What is clear, is that emails containing links on the iPhone often appear
in
Outlook or web mail on the PC as plain text showing the originating as
corrupted text or showing the original HTML code which is difficult for an
untrained, non-programmer, to read and understand. The resulting email is
meaningless to its recipient.
Victoria is looking for help with Visual studio as a tool for coding in
Python and other languages. It was recommended that she turn to Google for
guidance on accessible solutions found by other users of MVBA.
Here are some links that might prove useful:
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/accessibility
https://github.com/accessifix/nvda-for-vs-cod
This NVDA add-on provides fixes and improvements mostly for the editor
component of the Microsoft Visual Studio Code development environment.
Please
note that Microsoft Visual Studio Code is not a Microsoft Visual Studio
IDE.
It is a lightweight code editor with very advanced features.
Victoria is looking for the best Android smart phone to buy. Jackie
recommended the Google Pixel as the one recommended for use with Talkback.
Jackie is having a problem with getting IOS to focus on a specific email
in a
list. When she double taps on the spoken link, a different link opens up.
It
was suggested that swiping right once the email is spoken and then swiping
back to the email might ensure that the correct email will open.
A second problem experienced by Jackie, Ken and Stuart, is that a strange
logo appears randomly, spoken by voiceover but not physically present on
the
IOS screen. No amount of resetting the app or turning the phone on and off
prevents this event from occurring. Furthermore, it has proved impossible
to
recreate it at will and so it cannot be reported to Apple or to Audible
for a
solution.
Chris has a problem in Audible where a book which he had fully downloaded
to
his iPhone and had begun reading, disappeared from Audible when he opened
up
the app next day. Since the book was paid for and already downloaded, no
explanation could be found.
Martin was delighted to hear that he could simply copy a file from within
his
documents and paste it onto a USB drive in the following way:
1. Press Windows and E to open File Explorer;
2. locate and open the "D" drive ( this is the drive for his current USB
connection);
3. locate the file on the PC;
4, Copy the file without opening it;
5. Paste the file into the "D:" drive window and the file should now appear
on the USB file list.
Paul found the Vodafone service very poor in repairing his iPhone SE. The
phone is only a few months old. and still under warranty. Vodafone, claimed
that they could not put his name on his phone because of GDPR! They also
failed to provide any information on what repair, if any, had been carried
out. He received a phone from Vodafone but cannot be sure that this is the
same phone that he left with them.
The meeting recommended that repairs should be sent back directly to Apple
to
avoid this type of confusion.
The group advised that Paul make sure that the backed up data is fully
working before moving the SIM card from the current phone into the repaired
one.
Ken feared a corrupted link when trying to join a Zoom meeting recently.
The
link refused to open when he tapped on the line of text that included the
link. Jackie explained that he needed to move word by word until he found
the
actual word that contains the link. This often catches the screen reader
user
who logically expects the entire prompt to activate the link. When
navigating
in a PC-based email it might be best to hit the tab key to find the link.
In
the case of IOS, turning the rotor to "links" and swiping up or down would
bring the user to the actual link whether it was many words wide or only
one
word wide.
The meeting ended in an orderly manner.
All the best,
Cearbhall
