Is there a way to disable fragment assembly in MemoQ without disabling automatic scan/insert segments?
I just DON'T want fragment assembly, but I cannot find a way to disable it without disabling scanning for segment matches (which instead I do need).
Hope there is a solution as I find this feature very annoying and cannot find a way to get rid of it...
I am using MemoQ 5.0
Thanks in advance!

In the grid, select Translation -> Automatic Lookup and Insertion, and simply disable checkbox Insert fragment assembled hit.
I think this should do it!

Actually this is already disabled. Yet, I would like to find an option not to show me the fragment assembly. For example, if there is no segment match I find very distracting and annoying to have these framents appearing all the time even if not inserted automatically.

Hm... I do not think you can disable that. Why don't you email Kilgray about it ([email protected])? They might even add this as a potential feature for future releases.

That's what I wanted to do, but I was trying to see if maybe someone knew a solution. Well, I'll post here whatever they reply (if in the meantime someone knows a workaround for this, do not hesitate to reply )

I totally agree with you, Claudio, I'm looking forward to get rid of this function. I find it totally useless and I don't understand why other people haven't complained about it.
Regards

I believe, but I maybe wrong, it's because it was not there on previous versions or was just optional (that's what I seem to understand reading the help guide). Probably many people think, like I have done so far, that they simply don't know MemoQ well enough to be able to switch this off. Some people maybe find this useful for some reasons, but I am sure many people find it just irritating and would like to be able to disable it...

In Trados Workbench for instance (I don't know Studio), you can select automatic concordance or deselect it (it's not exactly the same, but it's just to give an example). The point is precisely forcing all users to have something they don't necessarily need or want or simply don't want all the time. Sometimes I select automatic concordance in Trados, sometimes I don't, but I would not appreciate to be forced to have it all the time. The problem with MemoQ is that in order to disable it you have to disable also the segment matches, which makes the TM almost useless... Well, we'll see what MemoQ replies...

Hi Claudio,
We are adding a new feature about the prioritization and display of different translation result types in memoQ 6 - so please wait until that version comes out.
Best regards,
István

Hi István
Thank you. Good news. Will it take long before memoQ 6 is launched? (I will be working on some very large projects in April-May and it would be great if I could use it by then..)
Can I suggest one more feature? Since you are upgrading displays of translation results, can you provide an option to have changes shown as "highlighting" in addition to markup (bold, italic, underline). That would be really great, as markup is something that slows me down compared to Trados.

Thank you for letting us know how to disable preinsertion of assembled fragments.

Likewise. I'd much rather they not show up on screen at all. I work on a netbook with a relatively low-rise screen, so I want to be able to hide extraneous items like the purple-line matched.

I also find the fragment assembly completely useless. It doesn't help that MQ just mixes together TM and TB hits of all sorts in one block with colour codes that I can never quite remember - the autoassembled garbage segments make the already messy UI even more confusing.

I generally like the user interface, but I'd be happy if I could hide the purple line. I've never seen fragment assembly assemble anything remotely useful.

I find it difficult too. It probably works for most people, but it does not work that great for me. This is just an idea, but since I regularly work with more than one tool these days (sometimes around 3-4 different tools in one day), I would welcome something like a hint box explaining where the hit comes from when I mouse over the color code column.
