the problem: My segments-window takes very long its retrieval of coded segments (30 minutes and more) AND freezes and/or starts-over again and again when trying to export through the export function.
the setup: Maxqda Analytics Pro 20.2.2 on MacOS 10.15.7. I have a large dataset with text and non-ocred pictures of old text with thousands of coded segments and up to a hundred documents. I would like to export segments as rows and different document and code variables as columns in a table for further statistical analysis in R. It seems I am forced to retrieve the segment list in the coded segment window first (where it takes long) and then to export (where it starts over sometimes or is so slow it looks like freezing)
What can't be done:
I am stuck with scans, because the text can't be retrieved from the scans as it is old Fraktur letters.
Known possible workarounds:
I could export via
Matrix-Code-Browser, but I would have to recode continuous variables to 0/1-dummies later by hand. Document variables would be missing as well.
Every idea is helpful. Let me finish by saying that I suggest that MaxQDA should put all the export functions in one dropdown menu just as you have done it for import functions. // edit: its somewhat hidden under "reports". Are these all export functions, i wonder?
