*.ppt file extension and memoQ integration
Hi,
As memoQ users, we currently lack the possibility to upload PPT files in our projects with file extension*.ppt (*.pptx files work fine). The PPT file filter does exist in memoQ, so when importing them directly into memoQ, it works. But it doesn’t work through the integration. Quite annoying for projects where the client uploads his material through customer portal and where an automated process is expected to complete the project. I discussed this with Kilgray first, and it appears to be available in the memoQ API though.
thanks for sharing your thoughts
I got good news from Kilgray. In short, importing ppt files via memoQ API (used by XTRF integration) will be available in the next release of memoQ Server (version 8.3 I suppose). After upgrading memoQ Server it should work out of the box (no XTRF upgrade necessary).
Here you can read the full explanation from Kilgray:
As you have seen in the API documentation the support for doc, ppt and xls files was restricted, but this has changed in the meantime (doc and xls files would work already on your server). The ppt was an exception because we could not handle them without an installed copy of MS office.
The final technical difficulties were also overcome recently, and server side ppt import was enabled just during the last week.
Then next release will contain the modifications. A server upgrade will be required for them, of course.
We will update the API documentation as well, to reflect these changes.
I need to go back and update a lot of receivables from a lot of jobs. What's the fastest way of doing that?
A lot of receivables had the wrong quantity, so now I have to go back and change all the receivables. All the total agreed stay the same, so the invoices stay identical. What's the fastest way of doing these changes?
How to avoid creating XTRF Temporary TMs during memoQ-XTRF integration?
How do we turn off the option to automatically create temporary TMs in a memoQ project created through integration? We found that even if
when the "Add Default Translation Memory if needed" option is
unchecked, the temporary TM will still be
created in memoQ.
I have created Selection rules for Workflow Resources, and the TMs are selected correctly in XTRF, but in memoQ, the temporary TM is always created and added as the Working/Master TM.
How to show the Client Reference Field on the invoice?
Is there a way to show the Client Reference Field on the invoice?
When creating a Smart Project, you can enter a number in the Client Reference Field. This number shows up in the tab "Tasks" when you create an invoice:
So, how do you add this number to the invoice? I have created a template in pdf but cannot find the correct XTRF taq.
Avoiding selecting proofreader that did the translation?
Hi All,
I think I know the answer to my question but I decided to give it a try.
Has anyone figured out how to avoid selecting the same proofreader who did the translation in the same project?
We are starting to use the "Advanced Job Offers" but this feature also does not exist in this tool.

Different e-mail content depending on branch
Hi all!
I am trying to seperate content on the e-mail based on the branch.
My proficiency in that is quite low and I don't have a clear idea on how to use this conditional within e-mail template.
Maybe someone has a tip on how to achieve it? It does not need to be branch related, custom field would be sufficient as well
Could not evaluate expression: PROVIDER_PREVIOUS_ACTIVITY_READY_EMAIL.
In a project creating by converting a quote (I did not create it), automatic emails are not sent, even when I checked these boxes in Notifications for each task. There is the error message: Could not evaluate expression: PROVIDER_PREVIOUS_ACTIVITY_READY_EMAIL. How can I fix it? Thanks!
