I'd like to reproduce this pop up "Dependency file not found" from my side

I have posted a question asking any workaround about it (to suppress).
But, have been told that is impossible.

I tried to make the same message from my side.
But, have failed.
Do I need some more programs ? or simply missed how to use SDL Trados Studio ?

Thanks

    Oh, I like prompt reply.
    1. Yes, you are quite right
    2. Yes, again
    3. Yes for the first part. No for the last part. It does not have, I do not have any kind of difficulties saving my works. I do not know why do you have that kind of idea.  I confirm you that it has nothing to do with target file saving problem.

    Ahhh.. you think, it needs some more explanations. sorry I am not good at "too much talking".

    "Users !!" please see this post first, when you have this PoPUps.
    This is my personal, but not special/exception case.

    OK ?

    "Dependency file not found" Pops Up

    I'm translating several ".sdlxliff"s received from a translating company.
    There are no "source file" something like that - this is a kind of regular work procedure.

    I've just met an irritating pup up "Dependency file not found" at my new project.
    Is there any way to remove/suppress this one  ?

    I have to deal with it for several days
    I do not need this pop up at all.

    Thanks

    "Your works" here then apparently means "just bilingual file".
    And you don't care that target file cannot be saved anymore. It's not your problem, you don't need to save target, just bilingual... and you don't care about causing troubles people further down the processing chain... main thing that you are happy.
    Awful way of thinking.

    I have tested all of the steps I can do from my side.
    There is no problem at all, especially saving target file.
    Like I have told to Mr. Filkin in the previous comment, I confirm you again.
    If you want to insist this kind of baseless argue, You'd better present hard evidence.

    Seems Clearly a waste of time to me.

     

    Period.

    Of course, you can not use "Preview" function.
    You have to have original file if you want to use "Preview" function.
    But, in this situation there is no "Original file" from the beginning
    And I do not needed to see it while I working this project.

    If you have complaint about "Preview" function, you have to change your complaining target to SDL, not me.

    Again, your arguing about 'target file cannot be saved' is wrong. Simply wrong nothing else.

    If this is the case Kelly then how did you manage to save the target file?  I think the confusion here is that the target file for you is the SDLXLIFF and not the file that was used to create the SDLXLIFF in the first place.  You would not be able to save the target file without the original source file and this is the dependency file.  You can save the SDLXLIFF however.

    Frankly I think this thread has gone on long enough. You have created a plugin to get rid of a message that is informational to most users, and is in fact a deliberate feature in the software and not a bug.  Great, good luck to you and I hope you are correctly repairing the SDLXLIFF before you return it to your customer as they will not be too happy otherwise.

    > ...I think the confusion here...
    confusion.. I do not have any kind of confusion.
    1. There is a project, called "OriginalDependentPerfect_Project"
    2. I made another project, called "MyDependentSDLXLIFFONLY_Project" using sdxlifff(s) from the first "OriginalDependentPerfect_Project"
    3. I suppress the "Information Pop Up" while I translating the 2nd "MyDependentSDLXLIFFONLY_Project" works. I am happy !!
    4. When I finish step 3, I revive "Information Pop Up" back to step 2 status.
    5. I copy the sdlxliff(s) from "MyDependentSDLXLIFFONLY_Project" into "OriginalDependentPerfect_Project" (overwrite)
    6. Makes the final file from "OriginalDependentPerfect_Project" --> TaDa.. Working Well, Perfect Result.
    7. I do not have any kind of confusion. ALL are Crystal Clear to Me.

    >...Frankly I think this thread has gone on long enough...
    I agree with you 100%. Do you happen to have to close it "forcefully" ? That is I wanted. I do not want to waste my precious time on this issue any more.
