Opening/Saving packages/Trados 2015

Hello, when I want to save a package in another folder than the default folder, I have to create the folder first and then select it.  With Trados 2011, I didn´t need to create each time a new folder (very time-consuming!), it saved the package automatically in the requested path, with the corresponding package number. I just had to select the path once, then, all the new projects were automatically saved in this path, with a new folder for every new package.
Is this not possible anymore with Trados 2015?
Many thanks in advance for your help!

  • Hi Anne,

    I had to play with this a bit to understand what you meant as I didn't think it behaved any differently at first. But I see a couple of things now:

    2011
    You open the package, change the location and at this point lose the name of the project. So you have to copy paste, or retype the project name into the path presented and the folder is created with the project in it.

    2015
    You open the package, change the location and at this point lose the name of the project. But now you can't add the name into the end of the path, you have to click browse and then add the name of the project so that the new empty folder is created with this name.

    So there is an additional step here. But next you come to do the second package and in 2011 the path is remembered and in 2015 it is not. So I would have to browse to the new location every time. Indeed this is a little irritating and is what you are referring to I think.

    This latter problem is interesting because when 2015 first came out I tested this and I'm pretty sure the location you used for the Project was retained so it became available the next time, which is what you want. But now it seems to revert to the default Project location every time. There is good reason for this I think and I documented this in an article which you may find interesting (I also noted the behaviour you want which I'm sure applied at the time):


    I'll pick this up with the development team and see whether there were some changes here I missed after the last update.

    Regards
