Merging (aka "Split") files

As you might have guessed from the subject line: I had some trouble understanding that in order to merge several xliffs into 1 you had to "Split the selected files".

I got there in the end, last not least by reading up on it in the manual at https://community.rws.com/product-groups/trados-portfolio/rws-appstore/w/wiki/5620/studioviews#mcetoc_1h64975943

I discovered though that setting the option Split by equal parts to 1 had not the desired effect but always resulted in 2 files. I opted for setting Split by word count to 10000 instead.

Reverse the Merge (aka Import)

This worked almost flawlessly weren't it for the fact the progress seemed endless since the progress window never disappeared.

After a long wait I had a peek at my files' folder. From the modified dates and the log file I gathered that the actual operation had indeed finished some time ago.

studioViews is one of my favourite plugins but I have to say that the UI for the splitting/merging of files is very confusing and in need of a serious redesign.
