Copy segment source on no match? Thread poster: Artem Vakhitov
|
|---|
Is it possible to configure Swordfish IV to automatically copy the source to target for the current segment if no match is found? I don't mean a bulk action but something that happens each time when I visit a segment that has no TM match. I could not find anything to that effect in Settings > Preferences.
(Edit: I built the program from source, if that's important. The OS is Windows 8.1.)

In case this feature is not supported, you could create an AHK macro.

Thank you Stepan for the support email address. Ctrl+(Shift)+P is not quite what I want. With Ctrl+P, I need to press that shortcut each time, while Ctrl+Shift+P copies the source unconditionally to all empty targets, some of which may get a match later.

I can copy source using the Ctrl+(Shift)+P shortcut, no macro needed. But it's not automatic or conditional.

You can make a macro that checks if text is present and that is fired automatically.
And since you have the source code, you can add your own features. Or pay someone to do this for you.
The fact that the source code is open, is fantastic. It’s just that I would have to learn to write Java and JavaScript. And then it would take me years to get the tool to the level of refinement of my current tool. 🤣

Swordfish GitHub page (https://github.com/rmraya/Swordfish) has instructions how to build the program from git, you just need to scroll the page down. The only bit missing from there is the fact that you need to install git itself.
The process is as follows (see software versions on the above Swordfish page):
1) Install git for your OS from here: https://git-scm.com/downloads
You may need to answer several questions on how exactly you would like to set up git. I believe you can just accept the defaults everywhere, but I chose an alternative terminal program in the Windows installer.
2) Install JDK from here: https://adoptium.net/
You need to set the JAVA_HOME environment variable. Don't know about other OSs, but the installer GUI for Windows has an option to do that. I believe you always need to reboot for newly set system-wide environment variables to take effect, so that is assumed everywhere environment variable are mentioned below.
3) Download Ant from here: https://ant.apache.org/
Unpack it somewhere and set the ANT_HOME environment variable to the full path to the directory that is inside the distribution archive. In my case, the directory name was "apache-ant-1.10.12".
Add the full path to the "bin" subdirectory inside that directory to your PATH environment variable.
I also ran
ant -f fetch.xml -Ddest=system
from command line as suggested in Ant install guide but am not sure if that was really necessary. It took a while.
4) Install NodeJS from here: https://nodejs.org/
For Windows, that's just a simple installer executable.
5) Go to the directory where you want to store Swordfish files and run the following in the command line:
git clone https://github.com/rmraya/Swordfish.git
cd Swordfish
ant
npm install
If it reports success, the program is installed.
6) To launch the program, run this in the command line:
npm start

UPDATE: It was no easy feat, but I made it to the Getting Started with Swordfish IV window. Hooray!
