Hello there, urgent help needed here!

I have the added to Studio 2019, but I can't find out how to limit the range of fuzzy matches in the filter, as apparently one is supposed to be able to do:

"If you wanted to find all the 99% matches in your SDLXLIFF then you would put 99 into each of the boxes and apply the filter. If you wanted to find all the fuzzy matches between 50% and 75% then you would put 50 in the left box and 75 in the right and apply filter."

When I click on the Filter Attributes tab, obviously the Fuzzy Match option is there, but no options come up for the range. What am I missing? How do I find the range options?

Appreciate your help very much, thanks.

Download the improved filter Nov 11, 2020

Hi Adrienne,
I think this is not included in the standard version, but you can download a filter with more functions from the app store here: https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/community-advanced-display-filter/849/

these are some extra features:

- filter by fuzzy match value

Not available in my Community Advanced Display Filter either.... Nov 11, 2020

Hi Elena, thanks so much for replying, but that's actually my problem. I have the Community Advanced Display Filter installed (sorry, forgot to paste in app name in my original post) but it does not give me this option.

Do you have that filter? If so, can you tell me what steps you follow to be able to enter the fuzzy match range?

I wish we could post screenshots here, but I do not see this option, only the generic "fuzzy match" option that was in the original Advance

Appears in my Ribbon the same as yours. I'm definitely using the (newer) Community one.

(Feeling a bit stoopid, how do I post a screenshot like you did?)

It's a 90s way of postig pictures :) Nov 11, 2020

Glad you found it now

To post pictures here, you can upload a picture in the lower part of the page, where it says "Drop images here", but once uploaded you will have to copy and paste the code provided in the white box where you are typing. I failed the first time earlier.

Still can't find the option though! Nov 11, 2020

Hi Elena, I never had any trouble finding the filter tool, it's just that when I open it, there is no option for the fuzzy match range. The fuzzy match option is there (as in the original Filter) but there is nowhere to insert a range. Do you see that option when you use the newer plugin?

Appreciate your help!

(I don't even get an option for dropping an image, what IS going on?!)

No problem, thanks to you I got around to finally install that plugin myself.

Now I see the option to choose the fuzzy %.

For the image uploading here there might be different modes of visualizations

Drop images here... Nov 11, 2020

I usually just use the "Choose Files" button. But it's here:

drop images here

The reason for this old-fashioned method of adding photos is because the forum software was not originally designed with images in mind, and it would have taken a complete redesign to fix it, so they just added this upload-copy-paste method to it, which works fine once you know how to use it.

Elena thank you so much! Nov 11, 2020

You found the fuzzy match range for me! I just don't understand why it would be on the Segment tab where fuzzy match is on the Filter Attributes tab. Boy, they also really need to improve the user documentation for this plugin!

Thank you so much again!

Thanks Samuel.... Nov 11, 2020

So bizarre, but I don't have that Upload images section there. Goes straight from Topic body to Share. Weird or what?
