Have just started using MemoQ to try it out, and am already very impressed with its tweakability. One query, however. Could anyone enlighten me as to the purpose of the fourth icon from the left on the toobar, who pop-up dialogue box tells you "do not press this button". Of course, there is nothing more tempting that to press such a button, which I did. A dialogue box then popped up telling me "do not press this button again". Apart from testing how naughty people are, does this button actually have any function in particular circumstances?
Thanks

ah, the loudspeakers... Nov 24, 2008

now that I have my speakers turned on, I get the cuckoo clock sound when I press the forbidden button. Well, useless it may be, but it's good to see a software developer with a sense of humour!

The one on the left of the top row is a video.
