Hello Robert,  

It sounds like you're experiencing a frustrating issue with your XLIFF files disappearing from the Files view in Trados Studio. Let's go through some steps to help you resolve this:  

**Step 1:** **Restart Trados Studio**  

- Save your current progress and close Trados Studio completely.  

- Reopen Trados Studio to see if the files reappear. This can often resolve temporary glitches.  

**Step 2:** **Check Project File**  

- Ensure that the project file (.sdlproj) is not corrupted. If you receive the error message "Error processing command line arguments," it may indicate a problem with the project file itself.  

**Step 3:** **Recreate the Project**  

- If the issue persists, consider recreating the project:  

 1. Go to the Projects view and create a new local project.  

 2. Use the same source file as in the original project.  

 3. Add the translation memory (TM) used in the original project during the Translation Resources step.  

 4. Click Finish to create the project.  

 5. During the batch task pre-translate step, the saved segments in the TM will be used to translate the original source file.  

**Step 4:** **Antivirus/Firewall Settings**  

- To prevent future occurrences, add file extension exceptions for the following to your antivirus/firewall list:  

 - *.sdlppx  

 - *.sdlproj  

 - *.sdlrpx  

 - *.sdlxliff  

**Step 5:** **Check for Updates**  

- Ensure that you are using the latest version of Trados Studio. Sometimes, updates can resolve underlying issues.  

If you follow these steps and still encounter issues, please provide the exact version of Trados Studio you are using and any recent changes made to your system or software. This information will help in diagnosing the problem further.
