Is it possible to "Revert to SDLXLIFF" using the SDL SDK?

Jesse Good over 9 years ago

Is the following command possible with the SDK?

I've been looking in FileBasedProject, but it doesn't seem to be available.

Hi Romulus,

Thanks. I will be looking forward to the update.

While we are on the subject, is there any plans to update the API so we can access the Display Filter.

Did you ever see MemoQ's view feature? It's quite detailed.

Can you please detail a bit what you are looking for and you would expect to be able to do with this API? If you are looking after a feature like the one in your link it's much more than just a bunch of filters.

Some use cases:

1) Ability to "Save" filters which you can restore when reopening a file in the editor.
For example, I want to filter out any lock segments + segments that contain numbers "\d+". That is simple enough, but I have to retype it each time I open a file in the editor. Also, sometimes we use complex regular expressions and not everyone is an expert in using them. If we could "Save" commonly used expressions in a list it would be helpful

2) Ability to make "Custom" filters
Regular expressions are very powerful but they have limitations.
For example, I want to filter a segment only if it appears immediately after certain text. I think this would be possible only with a plug-in.
Also, currently there is no way to filter by Source and Target text simultaneously, with a plug-in you could make this possible.

About the example in the link, this was just an example of what could be possible. However, I actually do not need all that functionality. One way to create "Views" is using SDXLIFF Toolkit to make custom sdlxliff files.
