Hello everyone

An annoying feature of MemoQ is that it opens the target file in its associated viewer automatically when it creates the target file. When the target file is Word, it opens it in Word. When the target file has no clear association (e.g. XLIFF files), I get that Windows dialog asking me which program I want to use to open a file with. A similar thing happens when I export bilingual RTF files -- MemoQ automatically opens it in Word. I know I can deselect the option in the bilingual export dialog (it gets re-selected every time, though), but I can see no such deselection option for when the translated file is generated. Do you know if it is possible to tell MemoQ not to open or attempt to open files in their associated viewers automatically?

Yes, easy! May 2, 2020

In the Options (gearboxes at the top-left), select the Miscellaneous panel, disable "Automatically open target document after exporting". Done!
