Notes disappear in WordFast Pro Auteur du fil: Reed James

I have the latest version of WordFast Pro. Every time I write a note for a segment, it is saved, I see the note icon to the right of the segment, and if I click on the notes tab at the bottom of the screen, the note will be listed. However, if I go on translating, even without closing the file and reopening it, the note is not there. It simply does not show up anywhere. I suspect that I'm doing something wrong. Can anyone help?

Hi Reed, Notes will show up only for the active segment if there is any. If you want to see entire list, you have to use export Notes option in Notes pane.

Hi Reed, The notes pane only shows notes in the currently selected segment. You can use the filter bar to show only segments with notes and then navigate through those segments with shortcut keys.

I've always used the notes both for my own reference and to generate Translator's Notes to send to the client. It's really useful and time-saving to be able to see the full list of notes displayed, with their first lines, when I come across something later in the text that sheds light on a note I made earlier. That way I can quickly decide whether to alter my translation of the previous segment, or whether I'm now confident about it and can delete its note. Needing to use the filter bar to navigate through all the segments with the notes will be a real pain in the backside. | |

Hi BD, I believe this was changed to improve performance of the TXLF Editor (speed). Perhaps the filter bar method is not the best idea. What about John's suggestion to export the notes as a Word document. Then you can see them altogether in there. If you need to go to a segment, use ctl+G or cmd+G and choose the segment number to jump there quickly.
