Re: [orca-list] When opening a folder with lot of files in it with Orca, it is very slow.



Peter, please share what you find with the rest of us.


Also, check if this issue is on his radar screen and if people donating can vote to give this or something else priority.

Hello,

If I were able to donate some funds, I would send all of them towards Samuel who is doing his best in order to revive some awesome a11y development for linux under hypra's umbrella. At least this is what I'm seeing on various bug trackers and email lists including Libreoffice, Mozilla, Mate, Gnome and all of GTK, speech-dispatcher, brltty and many more.
Without his dedication we would get lost even sooner.
We need to do something to avoid happening the same thing what has happened to Luke. I'm going to see if there is a way to donate either personally to Samuel or to Hypra.

Greetings

Peter

    Cannot agree more, this issue needs to be fixed and stay fixed.
