Re: [orca-list] Developing GTK applications (in Python) as a blind developer



Jon:

This is definitely a good thing to raise with the Glade folks. I think the best thing to do would be to log bugs with the 'glade3' component at http://bugzilla.gnome.org, with one problem per bug. Feel free to add me to the CC list and also add 'accessibility' as a keyword for easier tracking.

If the bugs come as constructive reports from a community member such as yourself, I hope they will be positively received. It's also a good time in the GNOME 2.24 cycle to raise the awareness.

Thanks!

Will

Indeed, i have been doing the same thing, trying to work out how to work glade-2 or glade-3.

The ironic thing is that the accessibility tab has a wheel-chair picture, but there is no associated text.

Further more, the property section, the fields are reasonably ok, but none of the associated property labels are read. I am assuming that they are not using the "labelled-by" or "label-for" tags that they suggest other people to use.

yes, one could edit glade files by hand, or have them created using text transforms, but this relies on being able to remember gtk widget names, properties and list of associated signals.

it would be good if we could have an accessible version of glade-3.

Hi.

I need to write myself a bit of GTK code in Python.
I am blind, so I am going to use the finally resulting app via Orca.
The problem I seem to have is that most (or all?) good
examples on how to develop a GTK app suggest to use Glade.
While the glade description file is text, and in theory could be
edited by hand, it seems like too complicated to do.  But
the glade-editor frontend is not really accessible to me.
How do other blind developer deal with this?
I see orca uses glade as well.  Am I guessing right that
this part of Orca is done by a sighted developer?  If not, how
do you cope with it?

Any suggestions would be very appreciated.
