So if you could filter on numbers as this is easy but then flip a switch to show the opposite then the problem would be solved! Most of the requests I have seen for this relate to the regular expression search tab, but we thought it would be even better if it applied to any filter that was used.
The basic idea is that if you filter on something, for example all segments containing numbers, but you actually want all segments that don’t contain numbers then it’s often a lot harder to achieve as the regular expressions for a negative result can be more complex to write. The first thing I want to mention is the “Reverse Filter” as this is something I have seen coming up for years, starting with the original basic filter and even the new Advanced Display Filter in Studio 2017. If you just want to dive right in and have a play then you’ll find the plugin on the SDL AppStore… enjoy! Reverse Filter The new features are really cool so I’ll go through them one at a time and you can judge for yourselves.
TRANSLATORS CAFÉ TRADOS STUDIO 2017 CODE
None of them were put into the appstore so in the end we gathered up all the ideas we had seen people asking for and extended the app ourselves… and of course we pushed the source code back into the SDL github site for any developer to use as they see fit. In the next months I actually haven’t seen any improvements to the source code, although I have seen a few strange attempts to use the capability of the filter in other ways with separate apps for different types of filters. But when it was developed the potential for lots of other improvements was obvious and the original developer had to really constrain himself to stop adding features every time someone thought of something else we could add! So we decided to opensource the code so that external developers could extend it as they saw fit. The Advanced Display Filter wasn’t actually an app in the first place, it was always part of the core product.
At least I’m disappointed in general, but there are exceptions even if they have been carried out by the AppStore team themselves! The best exception and example of what can be achieved is around the Advanced Display Filter that can be found in Studio 2017. I love this concept, but have to say I’m a little disappointed by the lack of active participation from other developers in pushing their own work back into the apps to share the improvements. You can find the site here,, along with links to the apps themselves and also the sourcecode which can be pulled by any developer so they can make their own enhancements and improvements based on a good headstart. Some time ago the SDL AppStore team created an opensource site where they make the source code available for virtually all the apps they create for the SDL AppStore.
