Hi Igor,

Not sure why, but updates seem to be erasing my MySQL settings to their defaults each time. I keep having to edit:

jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/my_database_name?useUnicode=yes&characterEncoding=UTF-8

> A keyboard shortcut for "Delete segment" in translation memory edit mode.

Fine, one more step towards a great TM editor. But now, is there the 500 entries' limit (or was it 1000 entries?) for the Edit TMX memory mode? Just to know and to tell other translators if they are in need of a TM editor and TMX Editor is not versatile enough.

Forget it, Torsten. I suggested to offer CT's TMX Editor for free ages ago, and that Kmitowski didn't even respond to that excellent idea.

IK: I wonder how many steps are still there?

Don't worry, Lenting and Torsten will soon let you know.

Concerning the trail version's limit: No, this is really difficult, and I do not think to make it free is the best solution. It must be an economical decision, not a ideological or philanthrope one. In the current state it can make sense to license a copy of CT and use it only as TM editor (depending on your needs).

Uh, don't worry, there are enough ideas to pick up and come around the corner with them (see posting above this one). Dragging sdltm files on the dashboard and triggering the "Edit TMX memory / Add TM" dialog box would be one (bigger) of them.

But okay, the Edit TM mode was a feature I only discovered by accident.

IK: Steve Jobs is smiling from above.

You nasty old bastard.

And the next thing, the very next thing, will be that the aforementioned, plus the Count of Hastings of course, will complain that CT offering editing TMX files without offering the same features to tab del glossaries is unfair. BE WARNED!

H.

I think the TMX editor should be 100% free and unlimited. 

It would be a clever way of getting people to start using CT who might otherwise not have. There are a lot of people out there using the now open source Heartsome TMX editor, the very old Olifant, and a lot of other less known ones (anyone have a better list btw?). Any of these people could become future CT users if they started using CT just as a TMX editor and then got curious. 

My list:

 1. Heartsome TMX editor (https://github.com/heartsome/tmxeditor8)

 2. Olifant (http://okapi.sourceforge.net/downloads.html)

 3. TMX editor (beta) (https://sourceforge.net/projects/tmxeditor/)

 4. TMX Localization Editor (http://tmx-editor.sourceforge.net)(https://sourceforge.net/projects/tmx-editor/files/) (last version 2008)

 5. Stingray Document Aligner (http://www.maxprograms.com/products/stingray.html)

 6. Logrus TMX Editor 2.3 (http://www.logrus.ru/pages/en-tmxeditor.aspx)

 7. TMX Assistant - Translation memory library and editor. (OSX) (http://localworks.pl/tmxassistant/ + https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/45992/tmx-assistant) (2013)

The craft was launched on April 11, 1970, at 13:13 CST (19:13 UTC) from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, but the lunar landing was aborted after an oxygen tank exploded two days later, crippling the Service Module (SM) upon which the Command Module (CM) had depended. Despite great hardship caused by limited power, loss of cabin heat, shortage of potable water, and the critical need to make makeshift repairs to the carbon dioxide removal system, the crew returned safely to Earth on April 17, 1970, six hours after lunch.
