Checking 'Inconsistencies' for Lots of files ?

Today I used this function for the first time within a single file successfully.
Verification > QA Checker 3.0 > Inconsistencies

Now, I have 20 files in a project and need cross checking too.
So, I used batch process.
Looks good though, the result makes me puzzling.
It is a .xml format. I can not read it with my bare eyes.


How can I see the result properly ?
-Just like the nice result of (PlugIns) "Sdl.Community.XliffCompare" ?

THANKs

  • Indeed, it's processing each individual file... SDL never thought about cross-checking.
    If you want to cross-check multiple files, you have to virtually merge them first (open them all in editor) and then run the QA check inside editor.

    Though, the result is still half-useless since it tells you only the inconsistent segment number, but without telling from which file the segment comes... so you need to manually filter by the text of each inconsistency to see the segments... which is terrible manual work (depending on how many inconsistencies you have, of course).

    Since SDL does not see this as bug (it was never designed to work this logical way, thus it's not a bug according to SDL), you can hardly expect any fix to be implemented in next few years (based on past experience).
