Back from short holidays and attempting to resume work on "ide" in CTI  
I find the situation even worse than I imagined browsing this thread.

Lacking a search functionality, bug fixing has become impossible.
I had developed a quick hack - which I shared on Kenai - that allowed  
at least to find the file in which the problem could be. The new  
structure makes this unusable and I can't imagine an alternative  
solution now until a good search tool is available in CTI, which has  
always been the most desirable solution anyway.
Even for a "first translation" of what's missing, the system has  
become pretty much unusable. Take ide, which I'm currently working on.  
Now it has got 467 screens. Suppose I want to translate top to bottom  
and I'm currently at page 250 (which is some kind of realistic  
scenario since the translation is 50%). I come back from lunch and  
relog on CTI. How do I reach page 250 ? It takes 25 clicks and  
something like 5 minutes just to reach the page I was working on and  
it's going to be worse when the translation is in progress.
I can use the filters available from CTI 1.1 to see only the segments  
that are not translated but I lose the context (segments that are  
already translated and have been carried on from a previous version)  
so the probability of an inconsistent result improves tremendously.

I just don't know what to do about this and am just feeling bad. Not  
sure I'll resume the work right now, I'll probably wait to see what  
will happen to improve the situation.

Sorry.
