Dragging and dropping is not a typical method used by the average visually impaired computer user, but this addition might be nice to have for a sighted NVDA user. Thoughts? @feerrenrut @Qchristensen |
While I'm not against the idea, I wonder how many users would take advantage of it compared to the resources to implement it? If I was redesigning the add-ons dialog, I'd probably look first at whether we could display the add-ons listed at https://addons.nvda-project.org/index.en.html directly in the window and enable them to be installed directly from there, rather than linking to the page where users have to download manually. |
Pressing enter on an addon and installing it works also in a portable version, at least for me it works. I am not against this idea, I think there will be more discussions on this after carret and focus highlight is implemented by @LeonarddeR. |
cc: @seanbudd, @nvdaes, @CyrilleB79 I think this might have to be thought about also for the UX design of the new add-ons store Especially if we have two lists in the GUI, one with available add-ons and one with the installed add-ons. I guess it might be very user friendly to be able to select, drag and drop multiple add-ons from available list into the installed list, at least for people with visual capabilities or for people with learning difficulties. However, this might need a confirmation dialog like "do you really want to install this add-on(s)?" |
@Adriani90 - we do not display available and installed add-ons side-by-side. Also as a sighted user, I would find pressing the install button on an available add-on much more natural than dragging them between lists. Drag/drop is much more typical for file upload - e.g. dragging from File Explorer to NVDA. I am closing this as won't fix - a user can open an NVDA add-on file to install it in NVDA in any scenario where they could drag/drop instead. |

Would it be possible to pick up Addons with mouse and drop the file in to the Addonsmanager?
