Description Scott Haeger 2008-02-26 21:28:56 UTC 
Currently, Orca executes the code path for each device even if the device is not be used.  This causes performance degradation.  Add logic so Orca only supports devices that are connected and in operation.

First coarse pass at GNOME 2.24 planning.

(3.0 Planning Spam-o-rama. Sorry!)
Comment 3 Trevor Saunders (IRC: tbsaunde) 2011-01-15 09:24:54 UTC 
what devices are in question here?  Braille displays?  If so didn't we deal with the issue of only generating braille if braille is enabled.  I supose we can also make sure we are connected to brltty before gnerating braille, but is that something we care about?
Comment 4 Joanmarie Diggs (IRC: joanie) 2011-01-15 17:32:16 UTC 
Currently we now only generate braille *messages* if braille is enabled. We do bother to create braille still say, when navigating in documents.
Comment 5 Joanmarie Diggs (IRC: joanie) 2013-01-02 15:46:00 UTC 
Bug 616847 is open for the remaining braille issue. So closing this one out as FIXED.
