My wish list for memoQ

- After I change the selection of the box "Automatically jump after confirmation" (that is, select or unselect the option), memoQ does exactly that: it jumps to another segment, before I confirm anything. Many updates later I'm starting to wonder if this behavior is known to the developpers at all, or if I'm the only one who experiences this issue.

- The search window drives me crazy. When the search window does not have the focus and I move the mouse over the little x in the upper right corner, the x becomes red. That makes me think I can close the window by clicking the x. But I have to click twice: once to give the search window the focus and once more to close it.

It's also very annoying that I can't give the search window the focus by pressing Ctrl+f, I have to click on it. Also, when clicking back and forth between the search window and my translation, for some reason every mouse click seems to select segments. It also frequently happens that random text is pasted where I click and later on I discover gibberish in my translation.

- "Automatically insert best result after confirming segments" works sometimes but usually it doesn't. I have to overwrite existing segments manually with TM matches, even if they are 101%. "Automatically proceed to process further segments" has never worked.

- If the source segment contains a tab, this shows up as a memoQ tag and you can't remove it, nor can you leave it out in the translation.

- This one I haven't brought up to the attention of Kilgray, but I think it would be nice to see if a translated segment matches the first TM match. In Trados 2007 the segment is green in these cases, if not it's yellow.

There are two buttons in the window - "OK" and "Remember". If you click OK, it jumps, if Remember, it just saves the setting. I know, it is not really standard Windows behavior, but it works.

Strange, I can only click once... What system do you use?

Here it does not select segments, I can edit the text directly after one click. Focus with Ctrl-f would be nice, that's true. By the way, I rarely use the search box - filtering is much faster and efficient...

The first one works only on empty (grey) or propagated (but not confirmed) segments. In fact, it would be very annoying if manually edited segments (orange) were overwritten with TM hits each time they were selected... If I have a section with edited segments which I need to overwrite (e.g. copied source from a bilingual document) I either clear the segments or pretranslate them.

The second one worked for me, but I use it rather rarely. Maybe your pretranslate/goto settings prevent this.

This depends on the import format, as sometimes it is not possible to remove those. In docx you can remove them without problems.

You can look at the TM info at the bottom. Still, I agree that more direct visual clue would be useful.

2, Better display for termbase entries.
It would be pretty useful to see the source of term entry at a glance. When you open a segment you see all the terms, but you need to click on the given term to see the source glossary. When you work with more than one termbases that have a specific priority (e.g. client's glossary (high priority, must be followed) + your own materials (useful stuff)), it is quite time consuming to click the terms one by one. For me, terminology windows of Trados is much more informative.

There is no accounting for taste, Tomás. It does not need to be hardcoded into memoQ: an option like "display more" would do.

Update on auto-propagation not working: it works when I create a view.

work for you? Or is it autopropagation? Or both?
