Accepted, Not Yet Planned

Projects deleted in Groupshare are deleted in Studio (when Studio connects to the server)

You have to delete the projects from the GroupShare Webui and from the the project folder in the My Documents folder as well.

  • Hi Maurice,

    I see where this concern comes from now. However, I still think that deleting files from users computers is outside the scope or purpose of GroupShare. You could implement something like this from an IT perspective. This is what I would imagine: let's say you have 50 translators that work with GroupShare projects in your company. Have the same local path (example: C:\SDL\Projects) on each user's machine where they download GroupShare projects. Make sure this is a local folder though, not a network drive. Then, at each restart of the machine, you make a scheduled task to delete the content of that folder and also delete the projects.xml file (C:\Users\aboloveschi\Documents\Studio 2017\Projects) where Studio keeps the list of open projects. This will mean that the translators will open Studio and it will have a blank list of projects and they need to open again whatever project they were working on from GroupShare. Since all the work is saved in GroupShare, I don't see any reason for this approach to not work. It's just a few extra clicks for translators in the morning.
