Translation Memory and Termbase windows disappeared from interface Thread poster: Marcus Malabad
|
Hello friends, The TM and Termbase windows somehow disappeared from the user interface while I was working on a project. I can't remember how to make them reappear. I tried the functions under the Window tab ("New Horizontal Tab" and "New Vertical Tab") but they don't seem to be the rights functions. You can see from the screenshot below that the Properties box is showing instead of the TM and Termbase. I'm using DV X2 8.0.641 Thanks in advance, Marcus

It's donkey's years since I worked in DVX2, but I'm sure you can turn the TM/TB display on using either the View tab or under File/Options. | | | Endre Both Germany Local time: 17:19 English to German | Mario Chavez (X) Local time: 12:19 English to Spanish + ...

You should be able to see two tabs: Properties (which you have unintentionally selected in your graphic) and AutoSearch - Portions. The AutoSearch - Portions tab allows you to view your TM and termbase matches. Good luck! | |

"AutoSearch" icon (bottom middle) | Sep 23, 2017 |
Mario, the bottom right of Marcus' screenshot was the first place I looked, and I saw that those tabs weren't there. But there is one other detail on the screenshot that I overlooked. If you look at the middle of the bottom edge of the screenshot, there are six little icons. Five of them have an orange background but one doesn't. I believe that is the easiest solution to Marcus' problem. Marcus, if you mouse over this icon, I believe you will see the text "AutoSearch". The la... See more Mario, the bottom right of Marcus' screenshot was the first place I looked, and I saw that those tabs weren't there. But there is one other detail on the screenshot that I overlooked. If you look at the middle of the bottom edge of the screenshot, there are six little icons. Five of them have an orange background but one doesn't. I believe that is the easiest solution to Marcus' problem. Marcus, if you mouse over this icon, I believe you will see the text "AutoSearch". The lack of a background means that AutoSearch is switched off. If you click on this icon with the mouse button, I believe this will restore the on-screen TM/TB windows. I just checked in DVX3, and I can switch the windows on and off with this icon. I'm sure this also applies to DVX2 - it's probably somewhere in my ancient blog articles from 2011/2012: http://language-mystery.blogspot.de/2012/01/12-facts-hints-and-ideas-on-databases.html http://language-mystery.blogspot.de/2011/10/deep-mining-with-deja-vu-x2.html http://language-mystery.blogspot.de/2011/11/dvx2-screenshot-gallery.html

Yes, folks, it was the AutoSearch tab/button all along. I accidentally discovered the tick box was unticked. So yes, thank you Mario, Endre and Victor for confirming. I really need to upgrade to DVX3 | | | Selcuk Akyuz Türkiye Local time: 19:19 English to Turkish + ...

You're right. I admit I almost never look down on the bottom row of icons, which are selectable. | | | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » Translation Memory and Termbase windows disappeared from interface TM-Town | Manage your TMs and Terms ... and boost your translation business
