Topic: Is it possible to export a Transit TM as .tmx for import in Trados Studio?

Post title: My pennyworth
I've had problems in the past importing TMX files into SDL Trados Studio (2011, 2015).
After much searching, I found out that Transit exports empty source/target segments, which apparently Studio doesn't like.
Empty target segments are quite common and often necessary to respect English word order (e.g. phrases in InDesign/Powerpoint split across several segments due to (IMHO) unnecessary line breaks in textboxes).
STAR told me there's no way to exclude them in Transit.
They recommended Olifant (open-source >TMX editor).
Another "home-made" solution would be to write a routine that simply deletes segments with empty source and/or target.
I'm working on this (a VB6 standalone executable), but it's very much "work in progress".
