Better Studio SDK experience

Hi,

We recently started to look at various options on how we can improve the Studio SDK learning experience. One of the first things we want to do is to move all the code samples and project templates to github which will allow you to browse the code without Visual Studio installed, contribute to an existing sample or create a new one and of course better explain what the sample is doing. This will happen in the next couple of weeks.

In parallel we have also started an internal discussion about ways to improve the current SDK documentation. Since the OpenExchange community is the main consumer of the SDK documentation I think is really important to have your view on this. Please share your view by answering the following questions:

1. Name some features that you would like most  and are not in the platform now?

2. Would you be interested to be able to contribute to the documentation ?

I'm looking forward for your replies.

    • Features I am interested in:
      • Make it more intuitive to execute some of the actions found on the Home > Segment Actions ribbon group through the API.  For example, something like ActiveDocument.CopySourceToTarget(ISegment sourceSegment, ISegment targetSegment) or ActiveDocument.MergeSegments(ISegment firstSegment, ISegment secondSegment) would be really straight forward.
        • Copy Source to Target
        • Merge Segments
        • etc.
      • Give me an interface where I can pass a Sdl.LanguagePlatform.TranslationMemory.SearchResults object (from doing a concordance search) and have it be rendered in the existing ConcordanceSearch UI.  Currently, I had to create my own WebBrowser control and duplicate the look of the ConcordanceSearch window.  It would be nice to just use the existing UI to do that for me.
    • I would be willing to contribute to the documentation.

    • I would like to see the Sdl.ProjectApi be able to be made available for public use or at least make available the following objects
      • I would like access to the CustomAttributeList and CustomAttribute objects from within the "CustomAttributes" setting

  • Dear Romulus,

    I would also appreciate if the login would be less complicated and would not time out so quickly.

    One feature which I would like to have and which I already requested in the post is the possibility to access the alignment function. I would like to automate some alignments based on the name of files etc. (I already sent you an e-mail about this).

    I would be happy to contribute to the documentation if the possibility is given.

    Thanks for this survey and good luck in your new job.

    Regards,

    Laurent
