I was able to install 6.0 last weekend and create a project, open a file and translate, all without reading the instructions but I couldn't figure out how to cleanup, even after reading the instructions.



My WordFast 6.0 trial version also cannot cleanup files after the 1st translation session. the PM button [for file cleanup] is not functional.

Here the PM button works, but when I navigate to the file to be cleaned up, it doesn't recognize it as being selected and gives me an error message. I didn't spend too much time trying to figure it out, I may have done something wrong. I will finish reading the instructions before making any drastic decisions In the meantime, 5.52 is just fine for me.

Hi All,

Are you analyzing the file in the PM plug-in, translating it, then trying to clean it up? If you are just opening the file in the TXML Editor perspective then there is no need to clean it up. After translation simply to go to FILE->Save Translated File and it will be clean.

If you are analyzing the file in the PM Plug-in, then translating the TXML file created from the PM Plug-in you should have no problem cleaning it up.

Let me know exactly what steps you are going through and I can hopefully clear this up!

Ah ha, I see - thanks! So simple that it's tricky, I was switching from the TXML Editor to the PM view, thinking I "needed" to clean up. I will finish reading the instructions, promise!
