It works flawlessly on my computer, so it is either a rare bug related to your particular setup or maybe a faulty installation. Either way, not something which is easy to reproduce, so it's hard to fix.

Not a faulty installation after all Jul 29, 2012

It turns out tags have to be identical for auto-propagation to work. I changed the status of the remaining segments to not started and now auto-insertion works at least. Automatically proceed still doesn't work though... After insertion it just stops. These are my settings:






Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

I think I got it... Jul 29, 2012

Yes, I have caught it, I think. The help file is wrong - if you select "Not started", it stops right there. What I did was to clear some 100% segments from my completed translation, set "Edited", "Fuzzy" and "Multiple 100%" in the goto settings and confirm a previous segment (remember it works on confirmation, not on insertion).

Then I saw the window stating "Pretranslating until next goto" (or something like that), the cleared segments got pretranslated and it stopped on the first edited segment.

Thank you for your research. I did the same: changed my settings according to your directions, cleared 2 confirmed segments and then confirmed the previous segment. The 2 empty segments got filled in but then it skipped non-empty "not started" rows, which I do need to check. Pre-translate does overwrite non-empty "not started" segments, so I will use that from now on.

Bilingual import? Jul 30, 2012

I wonder how you can get non-empty "not started" (i.e. grey) segments? Is it a bilingual file import?

Normally, segments which are non-empty and not confirmed are orange, that is their status is "Edited".

I know, I changed their status so that auto-insert would work.

One more wish Aug 13, 2012

I'd like to have option to treat tabs (in source text) as TU delimiters. By default MemoQ treats tabs as tags - not good for me...

You can do that if you import the file as docx. As this means Kilgray is aware of the issue, I suppose it is not possible to add this functionality to other import formats...
