Press yes. Then go to the folder where the original source file is. You can navigate there as in any other Windows program. First you will see nothing, as Studio is looking for a non-existing file name. But you can observe a small window above the "Open" button on the right side. Press the triangle pointing down and select either the name of the original source or *.*. Now you can open the source file.  After SDLXLIFF opened, press CTRL+S to save it INCLUDING the dependancy.

Should that happen again, check the settings of your Internet security program - this is most certainly removing your temp files, which causes this problem.

Hello, thanks for your invaluable help. I have exactly the same problem, except that:

1. I received a sdlppx. from a client. The project needs to be delivered as a Post Editing of Machine Translation.

2. I got the "Dependency File not Found Error" as soon as I opened the sdlxliff.

3. I followed the instructions applied to the case I am not the one I created the project, but I keep receiving the same error message.

4. I can work with the file by clicking on the "NO" button, but there is a huge INCONSISTENCY between the file report analysis regarding to the AT segments and the actual size of such segments. For example, the report analysis of the file found about 305 AT segments (the segments that need to be post-edited and what the client wants to pay for), but the file has in fact more than 3000 AT segments.

I would be really grateful if you could give me a clue on this matter.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Is it really necessary to exclude the WHOLE temp folder from AV scan? Is this safe enough for work with other apps too?

No, you don't need to exclude anything from scan. What you should do, is stopping any software from automatically emptying that folder. That's all—you can scan there as often you wish, but should delete files from there only if Studio has been properly closed.

Ok, thanks. I finally found it! Seems to be the "Storage sence" ("Speicheroptimierung" in German) feature in the System setup of Windows 10 that can be enabled/disabled for the Temp folder.

Splendid! Just what I needed.

Thanks - yet again! This solution worked a treat.

Thanks a lot for your clear explanation Jerzy, it helped me a lot with Trados 2022, I get a lot of Failure messagges since I installed it!
