The Project window

The project window displays all the components of a project, i.e. the source lists and translation lists. This is where you perform project operations, as well as operations that apply to several string lists, and open string lists for processing.

The tree view shows the project components in a project tree and a project list, similar to the display in the Windows Explorer.

The project tree on the left contains the source files and the target languages. The project list contains the string lists for the current selection in the project tree.

String lists

All source string lists and all translation lists

Sources

All source string lists

Single source file, e.g. scribble

Selected source string list and all corresponding translation lists

Targets

All translation lists

Single target language, e.g. German

All translation lists for the selected language

Folder

All source string lists and translation lists, grouped by source file or target file folder

The displayed lists can be sorted according to different criteria. Click on a column header to sort the list according to the contents of the column in ascending or descending alphanumeric order. An arrow symbol in the column heading shows the current sorting selection. Clicking again on the same column header toggles the sorting direction.

To restore the original sorting according to the order of objects in the project, select View tab > Sorting and choose a sorting option from the drop-down list.

String list status

The icons in the fields of the standard view, or in the project list of the tree view, indicate the status of the individual string lists:

Bookmarks

You can use bookmarks to mark strings list. This is particularly useful in large projects with numerous string lists. The bookmarked string lists are marked with the symbol on the left edge of the entry in the project window. To toggle the bookmark for a string list on or off choose Home tab > Toggle Bookmark or press Ctrl+F12.

To jump to the next or previous bookmark in the current string list, choose Home tab > Next bookmark or Previous bookmark.

Bookmarks remain in place even after the project is saved, closed, and reopened. To delete all bookmarks in a string list, go to the Edit menu and select the Clear all bookmarks command.
