Files can either be split or joined. Once a file is split, it cannot be undone, but a group of files can be viewed together in the editor if joined. Joining files can be useful if a number of small related jobs with the same target and source languages is being worked on together.
Note
Joining more than 100 files (or files containing more than 40,000 segments) at a time may cause performance issues.
To join files and display multiple jobs in a single view, follow these steps:
CAT desktop editor
-
From the jobs table, select the jobs to be joined.
-
Click Download and select file type.
The window opens.
-
Change file if required.
-
Select .
-
Click Download.
The file will be downloaded to the system where it can be opened with the editor.
Each job is separated in the file with a bar indicating job number and filename.
CAT web editor
-
From the jobs table, select the jobs to be joined.
Tip
To select and open all jobs of a project at once, click the checkbox at the top of the jobs table to display the relevant option:
-
Click on a filename of the selected jobs.
All selected jobs are opened in the editor and are separated with a bar indicating job number and filename.
To join smaller parts of a split file and export the completed target file, follow these steps:
-
From the jobs table, select the job(s) to be exported.
-
Click Download and select type.
The target file will be downloaded to the system from all the split jobs. Completed files download as one file, not multiple smaller ones.
