  1. Hi,

    Thank you for your efforts, this application works great. But I badly need a batch replace option. I mean a possibility to replace words and expression according to the list, not one by one, as now. For example, eat=essen, drink=trinken, etc. I translate legal texts and there are a lot of cliches, Now, I have to replace them manually, one by one. It would be very helpful to automate the process :)
    So, I would add the files to this application, perform batch replace, then open them in Studio and translate.

  2. Dear Junya,
    clicking on the segment number in the ID column will no longer take me to the given segment. Is this an isolated problem or a known issue? Any ideas?
    Thanks, Levente

  3. Hello Junya,
    I am having the same problem as Levente; I can not longer jump to different segments by clicking on the numbers in the segmentsearcher window. This is a brilliant app and I use it all the time, would appreciate a fix. It's been going on at least a month.

  5. Dear Junya,
    I would echo Levente's comment that an update for Studio 2019 would be amazing. Your plugin has speeded up my workflow tremendously. I have purchased an upgrade from Studio 2017 to 2019 but don't plan to activate it unless/until your plugin is available. Thanks again for the brilliant work you've done. Will there be a way to find out if/when it's available besides checking the SDL app store?

    Thanks,
    Maria
