Studio = Just Crap (and Getting Worse with Every Release)?

Crashes galore

Control-C works as advertised about 23.72% of the time (enough to be completely f'ing annoying)

Termbase term recognition usually does not recognize terms

I could go on

and on

and on

and on

Oh, and 32-bit architecture (which I consider to be irrefutable evidence of SDL/RWS milking a product developed decades ago with no serious effort at development in the intervening DECADES and which also likely explains all of the above and more)

  • Not sure where you asked… it wasn’t in here. I can find one post from you four years ago:

    Trados = $1000 brick 50%/time

  • Just in case you do have a problem that you can't put into words, here's a solution that works for me:

    I have found that turning off any 'extra' functionality that I don't use prevents all crashes and also speeds Studio up, whatever the version.

    For example, when I don't need Fragment Matching/Match Repair, I turn it off...

    So, here in the Project settings, I do the following:

    Or... if you don't work with projects, i.e. 'Translate Single File', turn off the same settings under File>Options

    (Individual project settings always overrule the same settings made under File>Options)

    I also close the Fragment Matches window in the Editor View if I'm not using it. Most of my work as a proofreader is done in Review mode so I don't often need Fragment matches...

    However, if you don't want to turn off Match Repair or Fragment matching, try turning off LookAhead via File>Options, here:

    It makes sense to turn off any functionality you don't need/use because it makes software more streamlined, efficient and stable. It works for me, every time!

    If the above doesn't help, it could be that the instability of your setup is caused by Studio not being installed in your current environment to the optimum, in which case, take a look at the options here:
