How do I open a TXLF file in Wordfast Pro 5 when I have a project opened?
There is a menu option for this when I have no project opened. But as soon as I open my newly created project, I only have the menu option Add files.
I think it would work if I add the whole folder. But when doing that, I get this error message from my Windows 7 system:

I tried changing permissions for this folder by right-clicking it and giving all users full control. Tried unlocking the folder with a program. Still I get this error message.

Wordfast treats a single TXLF as project
Mar 9, 2020
Hi Fredrik, as far as I know, WF5 treats a TXLF file opened via the "Open TXLF" option in Project View as a (new) temporary project.
You should however be able to add the TXLF via the "Add file" option you mentioned (within your current project).
Best,
XtS

Can only Open in new project of Open in Quick project

Add files option in my newly created project, having it opened, gives me only these options:
How would you like to open your TXLF files? Note: Quick Projects will not remain in the project list once closed. Open in New Project Open in Quick Project Cancel
Seems very strange, not being able to add files to my existing project.

Add files option in my newly created project, having it opened, gives me only these options:

Seems very strange, not being able to add files to my existing project.
What happens when Adding files to an existing project differs between what is described in the user guide (page 38) for Wordfast Pro 5 and my installation:
TXLF that you are trying to open in existing project has same source language code then you can open. But I don't understand why you are getting that error. Are you sure the file you are trying to open is TXLF and what is your WF version?

Greyed out for menu options Translate file, Chain files, Open source file, Save project, etc.

Greyed out for menu options Translate file, Chain files, Open source file, Save project, etc.
So these options can not be selected when having this project opened.
I'll check if the language codes are the same between the project and the file. But where do I check this? I can not find any project settings page, like in SDL Trados Studio.
The file suffix is docx.txlf
I have version 5.12.1
