Improvements (enhancements) for Windows Explorer

[nvaccessAuto]

Reported by k_kolev1985 on 2013-04-14 09:39 I would like to suggest a few improvements for the way in witch NVDA works with Windows Explorer.

1. When opening a folder, NVDA at present seams not to alert us when the folder is empty. I think that when we press NVDA+TAB or NVDA+UpArrow, NVDA should say either "0 items" or "This folder is empty" (or something similar). At present - it doesn't and a user (specially a beginner) may get confused if there are any items in the opened folder or not. Note, that sighted users can visually see if there are any items in the folder. Not only that, but in the container where the items should be, there is a text message witch says "This folder is empty". When I point that message, NVDA reads it, so I guess that it is accessible in some way. May be NVDA could be made to read that message (?).
2. It would be more informative, if NVDA reports not only the state of the tree-view item when we collapse or expand it, but also its name. That way the user will more easily know witch tree-view item has he expanded/collapsed.
3. When we enter in a folder with only 1 item in it and the item is not selected, NVDA says its name and that it is not selected. But when we press spacebar to selected, NVDA says only "selected", but doesn't say what was selected. I think that it should also say the name of the item when selecting it with spacebar.
