Conference feedback

Thanks for yet another virtual conference.
Being "down under", many of the sessions happen in the middle of the night, so I really appreciate that they are made accessible on demand after the event.

Time From To Content
11:11 Apr 8, 2014 Epameinondas Soufleros: 951887 All Before delivering you can always mark duplicates with different translation
11:11 Apr 8, 2014 Cathy_Atril: 1469690 All Nice to meet you too, Ali.
11:11 Apr 8, 2014 Ali Bayraktar: 710657 All you are a good sales specialist, you follow your clients to the point of sales :)
11:11 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All only if I'm forcing the propagation (either with Shift+F9 or Ctrl+Alt+Down Arrow)
11:11 Apr 8, 2014 Epameinondas Soufleros: 951887 All That's how you do it in memoQ as well: the QA module flags inconsistencies and you can either fix them or ignore them.
11:11 Apr 8, 2014 Cathy_Atril: 1469690 All Thanks!
11:12 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All Epameinondas: yes, but if the mere act of translating one of the duplicates overwrites the others?
11:12 Apr 8, 2014 Cathy_Atril: 1469690 All Do you need any help to make your order online?
11:12 Apr 8, 2014 Epameinondas Soufleros: 951887 All I'm not sure you've got the whole picture, Pavel.
11:12 Apr 8, 2014 Epameinondas Soufleros: 951887 All No, that would be undesirable!
11:12 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All exactly
11:12 Apr 8, 2014 Epameinondas Soufleros: 951887 All I see no problem with that.
11:12 Apr 8, 2014 Pavel Tsvetkov: 634408 All It makes sense when moving and jumping to not translated (not confirmed) segments. You can jump to the first not confirmed segment.
11:12 Apr 8, 2014 Ali Bayraktar: 710657 All An illegal choice has been detected. Please contact the site administrator.
11:12 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All so what I'm saying is that it may make sense to change the behavior of the forced propagation
11:12 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All but I wouldn't touch the normal propagation
11:12 Apr 8, 2014 Ali Bayraktar: 710657 All why it is written?
11:12 Apr 8, 2014 Ali Bayraktar: 710657 All I am from Turkey
11:12 Apr 8, 2014 Epameinondas Soufleros: 951887 All Exactly
11:13 Apr 8, 2014 Cathy_Atril: 1469690 All Just a second..
11:13 Apr 8, 2014 Ali Bayraktar: 710657 All your code does not apply turkey?
11:13 Apr 8, 2014 Pavel Tsvetkov: 634408 All OK, but why not add a switchable option? If you do not like it, then do not switch it off.
11:13 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All if you're a proofreader and really want to overwrite all instances of this segment, then you can use Shift+F9, Alt+Shift+F9 or Ctrl+Alt+Down Arrow
11:14 Apr 8, 2014 Cathy_Atril: 1469690 All Yes, it does.
11:14 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All Pavel: 20 years in the industry have shown me that too many options tend to confuse users
