Hi all,

Windows App Essentials 23.02 is now available.

Changelog:

  • NVDA 2022.4 or later is required.
  • Various features and fixes that were included with the add-on are now part of NVDA. These include announcing "dragging" when an item is about to be dragged and announcing drag and drop target effects.
  • Removed additional UIA event tracking facility as the last set of additional events (drag and drop) are included in NVDA 2022.4.
  • Improved Windows 10 and 11 taskbar experience, including announcing results of rearranging icons when pressing Alt+Shift+left/right arrow keys (Windows 11 prior to build 25267) and reporting item position when moving through taskbar icons (Windows 10 and 11 prior to build 25281).
  • In Windows 11 22H2, Open With dialog can be navigated using mouse and/or touch interaction.
  • NVDA will announce empty folder text inside an empty folder in File Explorer.
  • In aps such as File Explorer and Notepad where tabbed windows are supported, NVDA will announce the name and the position of tabs when switching between them.
  • Notepad (Windows 11): NVDA will once again announce status bar contents in version 11.2212 or later, particularly when multiple tabs are open.

Enjoy.
