So I've been working on a little thing. It's an add-on for #NVDA. It's a mastodon archiver. The idea is to press NVDA+M to start archiving. so if you're on someone's profile on your web browser, using this add-on would work. Everything will be saved in the app data/roaming folder. Inside the folder, there will be a folder called mastodon archiver. Inside that will be the folder of users. All their posts will be written in text format, and there will be a folder for media, which includes images, video and audio. Here's the only problem. I made the Python file needed, and the add-on.ini file. I put all this code in the folder. Then I zipped it, and instead of being a zipped file, it's an .NVDA add-on file. Problem is, instead of installing it, it says it fails to open the add-on package. Not sure what I'm doing different here. Yes I'm still learning it. Oh yeah, one more thing. It will announce when it's starting, and when it has stopped the archival process.

We love a new add-on :) And this is ..... definitely not something we would have considered as part of the screen reader itself - but that's the beauty of the community :)

Re the issue though, i'm not sure offhand, but this would be a good question for the add-on email group: nvda-addons.groups.io/g/nvda-a…
