So I've been very happily using TMLookup to search through my zillions of glossaries and termbases while translating in Déjà Vu X3, and have a feature request, unless it's already possible.
While testing, I sometimes import small glossaries, but then want to delete them afterwards. I figured if I added a third column and gave it a specific name, there should be a way to delete all entries with this specific column name, such as "glossaryb6565 test". Is there already a way to do this? [/quote]
This is already possible.
Untested procedure:
set one of the search boxes to the source column
run a search for glossaryb6565
check the number of hits and make sure it matches the size of the glossary you want to remove
click edit/delete hits from database
If your db is important to you, I warmly recommend having a relatively recent backup on hand just in case. [/quote]
I actually already knew that. Well, I remembered I did, once I read yr post. I've actually done it in the past and it works great.
Am having a whale of a time using TMLookup as my main glossary lookup tool at the moment. I of course also use termbases in Déjà Vu X3, but for all my massive/messy glossaries, TMLookup is great. And no need to worry about ever running of space like with many of the ones built into CAT tools.
