Just a side remark: I can't help but wonder why people haven't learnt anything from past experience with SDL. It's a bad idea to install a new software product from SDL before the first service packs are out.
Sorry, but I cannot take a comment like this seriously... Alpha/Beta testing of ANY software product should have weeded out most of these VERY obvious bugs and shortcomings
Yes, of course, only in the case of SDL, it usually hasn't.
I'm not saying that's the way it should be.

..."System Out of Memory Exception", even with small files
| | | | | 32bit or 64bit | Oct 18, 2013 |
Hi Mirekk,
There are limitations to 32bit OSes (especially XP, 7 to a lesser extent) that limit the amount of RAM that can be accessed.
On 64bit Windows 7 or higher, Out of Memory exceptions should not occur anymore.
Cheers,
Luis

Upgrade your system. 1,000 USD should be enough.

| what people like in Studio 2014 has fewer | Oct 18, 2013 |
Because there is nothing to like. Even the features I could suppositionally like have already been implemented in other CATs with greater efficiency. SDL proudly presents now what was invented by others long time ago. When they talk about rapidity, laughter is what I can only emit. Just try to add a new term... Why for other CATs it takes fractions of a second for the same task that SDL performs in 30 seconds? rapidity...

- Question: Is there any way to have the MERGE view also for projects created with folders? (It means aggregating the view of all files contained inside different project folders in short). That would help a lot. Is that technically feasible?
Thanks in advance.

| Deactivation of formatting, eG., bold, underline | Oct 20, 2013 |
This was also a problem in Studio 2011 and has been the subject of a number of complaints. It's unconscionable that the opportunity was'nt taken to correct it for 2014. I did note, however, that it was only a problem with *.docx whereas in 2011 they could be deactivated for *.doc source documents.

If you can, try unchecking the Enable AutoSuggest checkbox to see if it solves your problem (for now). AutoSuggest never works well for my language pair. I have been using Studio 2014 for a few days, but decided to disable the AutoSuggest feature this morning, because it made my cursor disappear from the screen. This is just a wild guess. People from SDL should have a better idea/solution:) Chun-yi Enrico C - ECLC wrote: Right now i am making time from work as Studio 2014 has decided to first stop working freezing my whole screen and upon restart it's stuck on "Updating autopropagation index".

Whatever project i open it gets stuck at "Updating autopropagation index". If anyone from SDL could kindly come back to me and let me know how to fix this quick i'd be glad as i need to deliver my jobs by tomorrow. Maybe you can tell me where i can get that Index so that i remove it and maybe Studio will recreate one automatically? Many thanks Enrico [Edited at 2013-10-15 12:03 GMT] [Edited at 2013-10-16 06:02 GMT]
Hi Chun,
Did it in another way.
A) Moved the project to 2011, worked on it for like 10 mins (couldn't stop working anyway so the only choices were 2011 or moving it all on MemoQ)
B) Removed the whole project onto 2014
C) Problem gone!
That issue never showed anymore since then. I suspect something got corrupted during an AutoSave as Studio began to behave oddly while i was confirming a segment during an autosave.
But thanks for the suggestions...deeply appreciated. May experiment those if the problem shows again.
Regards
Enrico

You need to use Clear Formatting. This is a consistent approach for all formatting for any filetype in Studio. It's this button here:
You can also use the keyboard shortcuts as you work. So Ctrl+spacebar deactivates. Clear All Formatting will remove all the tags in the segment.

Sounds like a useful enhancement... but perhaps you can use the windows charmap table for the same thing?

I'm not sure I follow this Enrico. You do have the navigation pane on the left so can't you just click on the folder you want to go to?

Click on Include Subfolders in the bottom of the navigation pane. Then you'll see all the files in one view from all the folders in the folder you select. So if you then click on the top level here you get all the files in all the folders:

This is a short informal list of small issues of usability (not bugs) i found in the MT interface of Studio 2014 inside Editor in particular.
1) Old problem still there. Can't remove terms from the Editor but need to have MT open on the side. Time eating, very time eating.
2) Linked to the above but also relating to MT as a standalone item. I'd like to be able to delete multiple terms at once and without the need to confirm each of them. Is this possible (Paul Filkin may give an answer to this, kindly)
3) When i set the MT interface in the Editor on "HIDE" and i click to add a new term the interface takes a long time to show and often disappear before i confirmed the term added (in short i can't click F12 because the window gets stuck at some point and when it starts moving again the "display time" has timed out already). This forced me to open the window manually and go click on F12. The reason why i am using HIDE and not the MT window displayed on a permanent basis is that i work on an 18" screen and i prefer more real estate for actual translating and concordance.
4) When i add a new term (regardless of the mode) for the first time after a period of time i didn't use the MT function, the procedure takes 30 to 40 seconds.
I think it's still Java delaying the CAT because for the rest the whole thing is very, very very fast. I am wondering if there is anything SDL can do to at least reduce the above issues.

Sounds fine. Will test and if i like it i promise i won't rant anymore about this.
Paul wrote:

Sure i can. But what about making Studio a fully integrated, self contained environment that doesn't require external aids? You save us clicks etc. etc.
I mean, during one of my searches i bumped into this http://producthelp.sdl.com/kb/Articles/4314.html. Isn't that solution "primitive" compared to adding up a map of symbols/special chars you just click on and select what you want? (Like the one in MS Word, nothing too complicated). Also, adding a precooked charmap very much like the one in MS Word, you basically need to manually insert stuff into AutoText, which then becomes a tool to just add very very very strange characters you only see in some dead languages and maybe in some alien language we're still not aware of. for the time being a Symbol Icon that opens the broad horizons of symbols/special chars would do. And if SDL feels generous they can allow the community to also generate special chars sets to upload so that you get special sets for all needs and no one complains with SDL that special character doesn't exist in the precooked set.

You're right there. It's me dumb! But when you are not in SHOW SUBFOLDER mode, if you enter a folder then you can't go back to the main root. You have to A) Select projects from the lower menu (The one where you have termbases, editor etc.) and then B) re-enter the project and select another subfolder in the root. If you activate SHOW SUBFOLDER the issue doesn't show. However, if you are not in SHOW SUBFOLDER mode you don't have a button to go back to the root showing all folders for that project, at least that's what i saw from here.

God bless you!
Since we're discussing improvements, can we discuss the possibility for MT to stop asking confirmations when you add/remove terms? It takes too many clicks. Can't we have an option that allows you to simply "click and forget" adding terms on the fly?
Like..i click CTRL+F2 and the term is automatically added on the fly and i can keep working rather than clicking F12 each time. All these confirmations steal a lot of time when you add many terms.
I'd like to hear your opinion on that.

| Term recognition window is not correct | Oct 23, 2013 |
Often times, terms just added to the termbase are ignored or not found and did not display in Term recognition window
How is that possible?
What do I need to do to see them?
Is it ANOTHER Java problem?

So far I know, well-known Out of Memory exceptions in Studio (I mean 2011, because I don't decided yet (because of lack of a trial) to upgrade to 2014) have not much to do with how many RAM you have onboard (see system recommendations of SDL), assuming, you have not less then 2/4 GB, but this is probably not the case by Mirekk. I'm working with Studio since early 2009, still on a PC with i7 processor, 12-16 GB RAM on Windows 64b and I have also experienced OME's.
I would suggest rather, SDL optimizes the code, so it can effectively use the available PC ressources.
Possibly this is resolved in 2014 - but I will not buy before I try (because of my experience with all releases since 2009 until 2011 SP2R).

That a term is added (and shown as added) in Studio does not mean that the term is really added to the MutiTerm-base.
Therefore: make sure, looking in MultiTerm, that the terms you add are really added.

And then, when you know the term exists in the termbase but does not appear in the term recognition window, if you, in order to beat Multiterm, which is so determined to work against you, against all logic and against all common sense, try to add the term again, Multiterm tells you that the term is already in the termbase and asks you if you want to add it anyway!
How come Multiterm tells you that the term is already in the termbase but at the same time it refuses to show it in the term recognition window?
