Hello Rick, I am observing this issue both with all scripts enabled and disabled, so I believe it is not an issue with the Winamp scripts or any others installed on my system. The problem is not experienced with JAWS, but that screen reader does land in a strange "limbo" situation after auto tagging has completed. JAWS completely loses focus. JAWS Key+T indicates that no window has focus, and window technical information shows a Control ID of 0 and Window Handle of 0. It is not so much a CPU issue, either, as I can reproduce the same lockup by pressing Escape to cancel updating the files as I can by pressing Apply Changes to complete the operation.
I'm wondering if this loss of focus is what causes Window-Eyes to lock up? ----- Original Message ----- From: Rick Alfaro To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, June 27, 2008 9:33 PM Subject: RE: Window-Eyes locks up after auto tagging in Winamp. I can't really reproduce this here with the latest winamp scripts. Note that while the auto-tagging is going on, it does seem to be really intensive for some reason and it seems like it is locked up but after the tagging is done, everything returns to normal for me. It would be interesting to see how much CPU this actually uses but it doesn't seem possible while the tagging is going on, so maybe someone can try it without a screen reader running and see if it still occurs and how much CPU is being used without the screen reader in the mix.. Note that this was with scripts running. I didn't try it with scripts turned off as most of the stuff I have is already tagged and didn't want to re-tag anything.

Hello Everyone, Window-Eyes is locking up after successfully auto tagging a group of files in Winamp, even when all scripts (including those for Winamp) have been turned off. The following steps reproduce the issue every time: 1. Point to but do not open a directory of files to auto tag. 2. Press shift-f10, select Send To and choose Enqueue in Winamp. 3. Once Winamp opens, Control-Tab to enter the playlist window. 4. Press Control-A to select all files in the playlist. 5. Press Shift-F10 to right click the selection. 6. Down arrow to Send To and press enter. 7. Down arrow to Auto Tag and press enter. 8. Check or uncheck any files as you desire for auto tagging and spot check them for old versus new meta data. 9. Press Control-\ to enter the Window-Eyes Control Panel. 10. Press alt-f, followed by m to pull down the Scripting menu. 11. Down arrow to Scripting Status and turn it off. 12. Press enter to leave the dialogue. 13. Alt-Tab back to the Winamp auto tagging window. 14. Now that scripts have been completely disabled, tab to Apply Changes and press enter. 15. Wait awhile and try manipulating Window-Eyes. Notice its silence. 16. Press Alt-Tab to return to the Winamp Playlist window. Window-Eyes talks once again. Sometimes, it has been necessary to completely restart Window-Eyes.
