Re: [orca-list] caja: selection of icons doesn't announce with orca

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,

I have filled an issue for spacefm 
https://github.com/IgnorantGuru/spacefm/issues/620 .
The fact its main developer is willing to do something about 
accessibility him-self made me start trying to do at least the initial 
work my-self so I know he'll likely accept it as long as it's usefull.

Greetings

Peter
