Hi!

I need to create a project to translate many small files that are organized in different folders and subfolders.
When I used SDLX, I used to select the main folder containing all my source file, select "look in subfolders" and the software automatically glued all the files together. After translation, it unglued the files putting them back to the folder they were take from, AUTOMATICALLY.

Trados 2011 can merge files but, when saving target as.., if you had selected files that are in different folders and subfolders, it doesn't put them back to their original folders automatically. It prompts you for saving destination, for each single file.

Imagine I have 200 file, and I don't now by heart which folder they were located in... Isn't it strange I have to do it manually??

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks
