Greetings,
I am exploring the at-spi accessibility interface on Ubuntu. I
created
a simple dump program that displays data about the accessible
components
on my desktop. Thunar is running on my desktop. My dump program
displays everything in the Thunar window, except it cannot find any
data
about the table of files in either Detailed List view or the Icon
view. I have not tried the Compact List view. The dump program is
able to dump information in the table cells for the Thunar Shortcuts
side pane, so I am confident that the dumper is working.
I first posted a query to the accessibility mailing list and they
asked
if the Thunar widgets used to display the content of the file view
were
possibly custom widgets? The point of that question is that all
stock
gtk+ widgets have accessibility info, if someone wrote a custom
widget
the accessibility info might not be working yet.
So I thought I'd ask the Thunar developers about the state of
accessibility.
Yup, Thunar does indeed use custom widgets for the tree view and icon
view at least. I'm surprised Benny didn't add even some accessibility
support; I know I've seen code from him before that's done this.
I worked on a11y support for ExoIconView, and it did even work to some
degree, but I couldn't get it to work properly due to various gtk bugs
IIRC, hence I dropped it from libexo. The tree view should work just
fine, it's just a stupid GtkTreeView.
