TOPIC STARTER | Thanks, yeah, I got that far, but … | Oct 27, 2016 |
What do I need to enter exactly, for say, "enz.", or "o.i.d.", so they don't break the sentence?

TOPIC STARTER | OK, next question: | Oct 27, 2016 |
Is there any way to sort the hits in the "AutoSearch – Portions" windows alphabetically? This is usually one of the first things I do in a CAT tool, if it's supported. I find it impossible to find anything in a long list if it isn't alphabetically sorted.

TOPIC STARTER | no completion percentages in "File > Deliver" (like in the Project Explorer)? | Oct 27, 2016 |
It would be very useful if completion percentages were also shown in File > Deliver, like in the Project Explorer. I have a multi-file project, where I have to deliver in 3 batches. So I've now finished five or six files and would like to export only what's already done. However, when I go to File > Deliver, I obviously can't see which ones are finished yet. I solved this by taking a screenshot of the Project Explorer window, sticking it on my second screen and then opening File...

I always use the Project Explorer (and sometimes the Advanced Project Explorer). I did not even notice that there was a Deliver menu.
Yes, there is some room for some cosmetic changes here; e.g. resizing, no. of words, segments, percentage. Even some other information can be displayed here, such as completion date, file status (exported/delivered or not), and filtering could be used as well.
On the other hand some people may like the current design of this page

I am not lost in this window, even when there are 80-100 hits. But feel free to make feature requests at https://atrilsolutions.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

In fact, I can't see what the Deliver menu offers that you can't do simply by right-clicking the files in the Project Explorer window (the finished ones are marked 100%) and choosing Export.
Thank you for the suggestions link. I have made one (omitting shorter terms from the AutoSearch window if they are part of a longer term -i.e., so that if you have translations for "North", "America" and "North America" in your Termbase, the AutoSearch window won't show all three when "North America" appears in the source text).
Interestingly, though, when I was doing this I came across a link on how DVX3 deals with synonyms:
https://atrilsolutions.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/205456171?input_string=autosearch
I was already aware of the first method, but the second was new to me.

The second method only shows any stored alternative translation of a recognized source term.
I think that Michael is looking for a way to store source-side synonyms (like in CT): multiple Dutch source terms that he'd like to translate with the same English target term:
poes;kat;dakhaas = cat
(This all probably to increase terminological consistency of the translation, whenever this is desired)

The difference, and a useful one for me, is the Deliver menu allows you to select multiple documents in a multi-document project. If I had used the Project Explorer yesterday, I'd have had to manually select and export seven different times.

Showing synonyms as an attribute might be useful in certain scenarios, but being able to actually use synonyms is much more useful in my daily work. Keeping my fingers crossed that that's one of the things Atril will add in the new release people are whispering about.

So my question is: is there an easy way to select a number of segments and clear their contents?
By the way: THANK GOD FOR Windows 10's File History, as I was able to quickly restore my project.dvprj file back to before I did this.

This looks like another "to-do" thing. But I don't understand why it cleared all the translations in every document. When I tried this, it cleared the translations in the open file, but left the others untouched.

I was working on all the files simultaneously, via Project > Open All Files.

Ah yes. I see what you mean But you can do this with the Advanced Project Explorer. Admittedly, that window doesn't show the percentages either. But you can at least still see the files on the regular Project Explorer window, so you can see which ones you've finished.
