Added files in existing project are not visible to other users

Hi,

I work with Studio 2019 (Professional Network). We are a relatively small team. We use GroupShare for our translation memories, but our Studio projects are file based.

We only just upgraded from 2017, and we are having issues with adding files to existing projects. One person adds a new file to an ongoing project, and the others cannot see that added file unless they hadn't had the project in their project list when the file was added.

Any person that didn't have the project in their list sees the added file. Any person that did have the project in their list cannot see the added file, even after someone else has worked on it.  Even after removing the project from the list and adding it again, or restarting Studio, the added file remains non-visible to the person who originally had the project in their project list.

Whenever the added file is non-visible, we can see the SDLXLIFF files in the source and target folders in Windows Explorer, but when we look at the File view of that project in Studio, the added file is just not visible, in source and target languages alike.

Is this a known issue? We have been using the new Quick Add Files feature; would using the other Add Files options solve our problem? Any idea on what the issue is? Would the GroupShare project management module solve that problem?

Thank you in advance for your help and input.

Antonie Pluk, C. Tr.

  • Hello

    Two things come to my mind which I'd like to check with you.

    In my experience Studio does not automatically refresh the open projects, but once you remove the project from the list and then re-open it the changes should be visible. Are these projects located on a network, and everybody loads the same project from there? How do you share them, could you elaborate please?

    Is it possible that you have added the files into a subfolder? And maybe this is why you cannot see them by default?
    Trados Studio screenshot showing the Files view with a project named 'Project 1111' selected, and a file named 'Fennec_fox_EN.docx.sdlxliff' under the 'My Tasks' folder.

    By default local projects should not really be shared by several people. For sharing projects GroupShare would be the best solution indeed.

    Best wishes,
