    The current behavior when attempting to add a TM that doesn't match the project languages is that Studio will give a warning message and finish by saying "Consider adding this TM via AnyTM". Instead of this, I would like to have Studio ask whether I want...

    Merging segments across paragraphs should be enabled by default, also when translating single files. It is annoying that the options "Allow source editing" and "Disable merging segments across paragraphs" have to be changed in each project.
