Post title: question re "Edit > Remove duplicates from database" function
Hi András (you really need a little forum of your own here on Proz, for TMLookup and LF Aligner), anyway, I have a question:
If I do: Edit > Remove duplicates from database
It says: "Only currently displayed columns are taken into account when determining duplicates."
Let's say I have 4 identical TUs, where all 4 times the src + trgt is exactly the same, but they differ by the third column (which I use to display the source of my TMXs)
(my columns in TMLookuop are usually "nl", "en" and "source")
What I am wondering is if I run Edit > Remove duplicates from database, but display only two columns, which of the 4 identical TUs will TMLookup leave untouched? Does it base its decision on some kind of timestamp? and if so, derived from the TU from the original TMX file, or from the time I imported said TMX into my .db?
