Merge feature in Studio 2014 SP 2

Former Member

2 days ago, I bought Studio 2014 in order to be able to merge several files into one when a package contains more than one file; and now I find that this feature does not work in the current version of Studio 2014 SP 2 version 11.2.4409.10 - highly annoying!! How can I downgrade to the previous version in which, I am told, this merge function in the Editor view works seamlessly. Anyone???

    Can you tell a bit more precisely why you believe that this feature does not work?
    You don't need to downgrade because this feature works fine in Studio 2014 SP2. To make sure, you do the right thing, let me explain how it works.

    The virtual merge feature is not related to packages, it is a general feature that allows you to select several files in a project (regardless of how this project was created, by receiving a package or by creating it from scratch) and works in a different way than the Merge feature used when creating packages.
    To use it, go to the view "Files" of your project. Now, instead of double-clicking on one of the files to open it in the Editor, you select several files by clicking on the first and SHIFT-clicking on the last (in the same way as you select several files in Windows Explorer), then instead of double-clicking, you click right and select "Open for translation". This opens all selected files one behind the other in your Editor, so you can work on all files together. As soon as you close the document in the Editor, the individual files are back. There is no physical merge, the merged document exists only for the time you have the files open in your Editor.

    Hi Walter.

    I 'do not believe' it doesn't work. I doesn't work! I a aware how it should work - i.e. the selection process you mention - but I have experienced two types of errors: one with Object References and one where I cannot Enter completed segments.

    I know for a fact that it does not work in the Studio 2014 SP 2 version 11.2.4409.10 in that others have the same problem (employees from SDL in fact) and have been told that it is a bug in this version. Hence, my question!
