Trados has very nice tool called "RecordSourceTU" already.

I wish it worked right. Unfortunately it doesn't. With multiple files opened in one tab, it always adds the path/filename of the first file only even when I work on second, third, ... nth file.
Thank you for the script.

they have prepared suggestion section for Trados PlugIns around somewhere else.. visit there and make a post.

and, for "RecordSourceTU" PlugIns they have posted its source code (written in C#) all of them not hiding anything, for free.

You could make your own one quite easily.

It is a kind of nice gift, I always appreciated about it.

I would agree with this... as long as you do know how to develop.  The problems you may have, and it's one we had when this app was developed, is that sometimes it's simply not possible to do what seems very obvious because we have no event to use.  In this case I remember when we did it that we actually don't know that we are in a different file when the files are merged.  Sounds silly and illogical because you can plainly see you are in a different file, but you have to remember that we are constrained by what the API allows us to access when working with a plugin in this way.

Having said this we have made considerable improvements under the hood of the API in the last few years so it's probably worth revisiting this one.  So we'll add to the list to take a look and see if we can improve it in the current versions of the software.

I've fixed the error of RecordSourceTU App,
Now, it records fileName correctly when you work with multiple files at the same time. 
-for version2017
-for version2021 

my idea to get a file name is pretty simple

it starts from current "ISegmentContainerNode"
and goes up until to attain "IFileContainerNode"

Where, You can extract the information you wanted "OriginalFilePath"
Done, piece of cake

Out of curiosity did you submit a pull request with your changes so we can review and incorporate in the official version?  Or you are keeping your improvements to yourself?

I think this way is better one.

Here, I'm attaching the part I've changed from Yours, all of them.
So, Your professional(s) could review it easily, and (s)he could decide what to do (or not).
-say her(him) "Thank You for your efforts" please.

Attached:
modified_Part_All_Of_Them.zip

-ah, its variable names are written in my mother tongue though, it does not matter, it works well regardless of it.

Thanks.

No, it's not a better way.  Github is designed for managing versioning and changes.  Manually working through your code outside of the source is definitely not easier.  All you need to do is create a pull request with your updated code.  That should be easier and we have a proper audit trail.

If you've written some of this in Korean that will also be a problem.

This is my best

Do not try to twist my arms
