Problems with TermExcelerator plugin

Question

Hi,

On my search for a faster termbase tool (when adding them to a termbase) I already used RyS one which is very fast but lacks very important term list overview without mouse clicks so I just installed TermExcelerator, but there seem to be a few bugs.

(settings are per project not globally)

When I restart Trados standard termbank switches from Excel-file (TermExtractor) to the first Multiterm termbase in the list.

I also cannot add any term via “Quick add new term”, it’s greyed out and the shortcut does not do anything.
If I try adding it the slow way, I get an error: The sequence does not contain any matching Element. (freely translated from German: Die Sequenz enthält kein übereinstimmendes Element.)
also since I added this addin, whenever I double click a word on the left in the editor I get this error: An element with the same key has already been added. (freely translated from German: Ein Element mit dem gleichen Schlüssel wurde bereits hinzugefügt.)

Any ideas?

regards,
Pascal

Hi Steven, 
 Sorry for the late reply but I had no further update to this until this week as I seem to have found a possible issue. When you tried to reproduce the issue, did you always use the same language combination? 
 I realized this week, that it does not lose focus if I work with the same language combination between various projects and clients. (Normally I switch between 2 to 6 language combinations multiple times a day so it never occured to me this could be the problem but this week I did not.) Even if I quit Trados focus stayed on Termexelerator termbank. 
 
 But as soon as the language combination changes, then focus of termbanks is lost and Trados sets the first Multiterm termbase as standard. 
 So maybe try switching project while using German > EN(US) and then German > EN(UK) or other language combinations. 
 Edit: 
 Ok, forget about all the above. It seems the latest Trados patch fixed the isse. I just wanted to reset termbase after switch project and language combination and it's still correct. I switched back to the other language combination and it's still correct there too.

Hi Pascal Zotto 
 
Many apologies for not getting back to you on this. I'd like to blame xmas but it was September! I have logged this under SDLCOM-165 in our tracking system and we'll try to plan some time in to look at this in the near future.

Hi Pascal Zotto , 
 
Sorry for the late reply. We released a new version of the plugin on the AppStore. Could you please see if in this version the issue you found is fixed? 
 
Kind regards,

Hello Pascal Zotto , 
 
We have tested this now on various environments W7/W10/Virtual/Dev machines etc. and none of us have been able to reproduce this at all. 
I'm wondering if you would be able to share the actual files/TB's this happens with just to see if we can find what we are missing.
