Post title: Save your MT results in a temporary TM

During MT content editing, I get suggestions with up to 98% matches from my newly imported TMX from my colleague. These have not been applied during pre-translation, and I have to apply them manually (Ctrl+1) before editing the smaller differences and move on.
I need an option where all not confirmed existing content could be overwritten *if* a better match exists in the TM - so that I don't need to insert manually each segment better than a MT. I estimate about 13,000 hits that are not overwritten, that means 13,000 times of pressing Ctrl+1.
MT segments are marked (in pink) 0% Translation Not Confirmed - but they are not overwritten with a better match coming from the TM.
If this can't be achieved, is there a way to mark all 0% segments as EMPTY rather than Translation Not Confirmed?
Many thanks for your help!

I suggested a solution yesterday, just before this post: save your MT contents in a temporary TM. Then you can use them for pre-translation after you have cleared the MT segments and pre-translated with your higher matches.
You don't want to lose the MT segments. So just save them. And then clear the MT segments. Then you can juggle things as you want without losing anything.
You have not reacted to that suggestion.
