Hi Jamal
I don't know much about Schemes because I don't use them. I also do not use
the settings packager because I always copy files manually, for example any
jaws custom labelling I have done.
However, as far as I know the settings packager does not do any special
processing and is merely an import/export tool.
If you create a scheme, you will note that there is a file with the scheme
name with an .MSF extension and possibly a voice aliases.dat file. These
are just placed in the jaws settings folder relative to the windows account.
However, as you point out you will need to associate the scheme with the
application. I suspect if your friend or colleague had copied the .JCF file
for the application itself this would have helped you because under the
Options section of the .JCF there is a line which determines which scheme
should be switched to. In my test scheme I have just created for Notepad, I
have
Scheme=Brian
I would ask for all the files and copy them manually. I note however that
if you have faithfully reproduced the contents of the Readme file emanating
from the settings packager, the scheme name is not even present which
demonstrates it may not have been correctly exported using this method.
When I tried doing this just now, I got:
Summary of brian.zip
Schemes
Scheme: Brian
My Scheme.
This last line refers to the scheme description.

Subject: [jawsscripts] Installing a personal settings archive
Someone sent me a zip archive of JAWS personalized settings that was
created with the Export option of Settings Packager. I want to install
and try the scheme but am having trouble.
I tried opeing the archive with Settings Packager, but no package files
are listed to import. Can anyone tell me where the files should be
copied? There is a Sounds subfolder with several .wav files. Also, the
archive contains the following two files: SynthVoiceAliases.dat and
SettingsPackager.spd. Can this installation be done just by copying files
to appropriate locations, or is the Import feature of Settings Packager
needed because it performs additional processing tasks?
There is also a ReadMe.txt file that was created by the Export process,
pasted below for reference. It does not include the name of a scheme. If
I can figure out how to do a manual install, how can I know what scheme
name I would subsequently choose via Configuration Manager?
