Re: [orca-list] On Simulating Clicks--was Re: Howto add files to a Brasero project



Hello,
You may call me perfectionist or simply I am really getting awkward when it comes to this. I think flat review it-self is just a workaround and simulating click in order to be able to operate an app is not optimal solution for visually disabled people. Flat review can be used in terminal like applications and the same goes for mouse click simulation because there are not enough semantic info available to orca through the available apis and due to text nature of console applications there will never be. In the GUI applications where there are rich APIS flat review should only be used for reviewing the text and nothing more. This is how I feel. The issue with Brasero is the same even for sighted keyboard users. There is no way to add files into the Brasero project using the keyboard only withouth requiring the mouse. Do you guys still think this is not an issue?

Greetings

Peter

Well said, having to use the sim clicks is not a bug, missing labels and or misslabeled controls certainly 
are.
I can't remember for sure, but don't think there are any accessibility issues with xfburn, the XFCE 
counterpart of brazero, available in Ubuntu
and Arch repose for sure, probably for most distros. I just started it and all the file selection was easy, 
no need to use simulated mouse clicks. The
other options were also very simple to select, e.g. cd size, music cd, data cd, or .iso cd...
BTW, I'm not using xfce at the moment. Xfburn works fine with any desktop I've tried and only pulls in a few 
deps which are well worth it I think as
brazero has a less than stellar reputation among many from what I read.

It is observed that one need simulate a double-click in order to add some
items to a Brazero project.  Since orca can do this, using flat review and
the simulation keys, does the neede to do this constitute a bug?I'm not sure
it does, since this is how Brazero is meant to be operated.  If flat review
didn't work in this app, then I'd call it a bug.  Interested people should
fine a feature request on Brazero's bug system.  The issue of unlabeled
controls is a bug, and should be filed thusly.

Best,


Dave
