Hi,

When I open Trados (2021), my project list is always empty, it has always been. If I want to work on a project, I have to open it manually, which is annoying. Is there any setting that would need to be activated?
I work on a Mac laptop with Fusion for Windows.

Thanks for your help,

Hélène

Have you imported the project from within Trados Studio? I have a feeling that if you just double click on the project without first opening Studio, it is not listed, though I am not sure about that.

opening from Trados Jun 22, 2023

Hi Roy,

No. I always open Trados then I click on open a new project and I have to select the project. They are all stored on the hard drive. I wonder whether I should reinstall it. I have found similar issues online but no answer.

Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try Jun 24, 2023

Verify the project location: Ensure that the projects are saved in the correct location and that Trados Studio is configured to look for projects in that specific folder. You can check the default project location by going to "File" -> "Options" -> "Default locations" in Trados Studio. Make sure the folder listed there matches the actual location where your projects are stored.

Reset user settings: If none of the above steps work, you can try resetting your user settings in Trados S... See more

Reset user settings: If none of the above steps work, you can try resetting your user settings in Trados Studio. Keep in mind that this will restore Trados Studio to its default settings, so any customizations or preferences you have made will be lost. To reset user settings, go to "File" -> "Options" -> "Restore Defaults" -> "Reset all customizations." ▲ Collapse
