Good morning,

I'm trying to open an multiple document project created in Transit XML in Cafetran. I've been following the instructions regarding the translation of PPT packages, but get stuck on point 6, Choose Transit XML filter from the "File of type" list in the Project Configuration dialog and click the OK button.
There is no such list in the project configuration (see screenshot). This puzzles me as it worked before. Any ideas?

Thanks for your help!

Click on the blue arrows up and down behind the selector that now indicates Ms Word.

Your screenshot looks weird. Here's the dialogue box on my MacBook Pro:

Thanks! Aug 28, 2023

Many thanks, Hans!
It seems to have been a problem with the folder name (maybe too long?). After renaming the folder, everything worked just fine. Monday morning bug ...?
Thanks again and have a great day!

Illegal characters in path? Aug 28, 2023

The path shouldn't contain any forward slashes (/) or colons (:).
