Deshi - manually editing out confidential terms

Deshi only supports editing out confidential terminology in files under 1 MB.

Is there a way to do this manually for larger files, by editing the .town file?

Hi Steven,

The .town file can not be edited, as we have an encrypted checksum to ensure that someone can not, for example, change the word count or segment count.

What you could do would be to edit the larger TM file itself before processing it with Deshi. In other words, open the TM file in a text editor and 'Find and Replace' any confidential terms. Then, when you go to analyze it in Deshi those terms will already be removed.

In the future, we hope to have a version of Deshi that can handle redaction for larger files.

For larger files, you can do it manually by opening the .town file in a text editor, searching for sensitive words or paragraphs and replacing them with [REDACTED] or deleting them, keeping the JSON structure intact so the file can still be opened in Deshi. I usually apply this when downloading x trench run to my computer.
