Hello Kathleen,

It seems like you're having trouble locating a file while trying to start a new project in Trados Studio 2022 SR 1. Here are some steps you can follow to troubleshoot this issue:

Step 1: Check the File Format

Ensure that the file you're trying to import is in a format that Trados Studio supports. If it's not, you may need to convert it to a compatible format.

Step 2: Verify the File Path

Make sure that the file path you're entering in the New Project Wizard is correct. If the path is incorrect, Trados Studio won't be able to locate the file.

Step 3: Check for Hidden Files

Sometimes, files may be hidden in Windows Explorer. To view hidden files, open Windows Explorer, click on 'View' at the top, and then check 'Hidden items'. If your file was hidden, it should now be visible.

Step 4: Reinstall Trados Studio

If none of the above steps work, there might be an issue with your Trados Studio installation. Consider reinstalling the software to see if that resolves the issue.

Remember, these are general troubleshooting steps. The exact solution might vary depending on the specifics of your situation.

I'm clicking on "reject answer" because I don't want other people to see the green check mark and think the problem is resolved. I'd like more input before I reinstall Trados Studio 2022. I will go through with the reinstallation if I don't hear from anyone else.

Thanks!

Kathleen

Can you share a screenshot of the window that opens and can't find the file?

Thanks for your response, Paul. Here's the screenshot:

ok - so this window is supporting the selection of a folder, not files.  What happens when you select this folder?

Yes, I misspoke. Here's what happens:

ok - so now show us a screenshot in Windows File Explorer so we can see what's in the folder you selected.

Here you go:

ok - I just tested quickly and it all seem to work just fine for me, adding the folder name in 1.:

So, can you first of all try doing this with a folder that is not in dropbox and subject to being synched?  Just copy the folder with the files to your documents folder on your local drive, and try again.

Unfortunately, the same result:
