SCRIVENER UPDATE 1.7.3.0

20th August 2014

Update Size 81.6MB

This update contains refinements, changes and bug fixes reported since the release 1.7.2.0. Here are the highlights:

Refinements and Changes

• Added "Define..." and "Synonyms" to the editor context menu to look up English definitions and synonyms in Scrivener using WordNet's database. "Define..." can be added to the main toolbar using Tools > Customize Toolbars... and is also available from the Tools > Writing Tools menu and via keyboard shortcut.
• Updated the German interface translation.
• Added digital signatures to executables within the installer to avoid Kaspersky Internet Security 2015 causing an error when trying to launch new releases of Scrivener.

Bugs Fixed

• Fixed a bug that could cause text of inspector comments and footnotes not to save properly in certain cases.
• Fixed a bug whereby changes since the last save were not included in backups created via File > Back Up > Back Up To... or Back Up Now.
• Fixed a bug whereby edits made to Project Notes between the last save and running Back Up To... or Back Up Now were lost if the notes were not edited again before closing the project.
• Fixed a bug that prevented the inspector synopsis or title updating when it had focus while changing documents, which could also cause the title to be overwritten.
• Fixed a bug that could insert "Linked Footnote" anchor text unnecessarily when repeatedly converting between inline and inspector footnotes during a session.
• Fixed a bug that disabled the spell check for all projects after opening compile or Project Statistics (which runs compile in the background).
• Fixed a bug that could cause custom meta-data not to be found in a search.
• Fixed a bug causing Export > Comments & Annotations... to export only the selected documents regardless of the related setting.
• Fixed a bug causing the session word count in Project Targets to jump erratically in some cases.
• Fixed a bug causing lag when typing in Thai.
• Fixed a bug with drag and drop from the binder that could cause the editor to switch documents if the document was already selected in the binder before dragging.
• Fixed a bug that caused containers to collapse when moving items in the outliner.
• Fixed a bug in the outliner that caused the selection to expand when moving items using a Ctrl+Arrow shortcut.
• Fixed a bug in Scrivenings mode that prevented the inspector updating with the correct meta-data when returning focus to the container document.
• Fixed a bug whereby Scrivener links were compiled as broken links in formats that did not support them. The internal links are now removed for these formats during compile (external links remain).
• Fixed a bug causing the Go To menu in Full Screen to display only when the mouse button was held down.
• Fixed a bug that prevented opening the script element menu in Full Screen's control panel and could cause it to appear blank.
• Fixed a bug that added padding to each cell in a subdocument row when exporting the outliner to CSV.
• Fixed a bug preventing closing Full Screen with the Escape key when the insertion point was in certain script elements.
• Improved list handling when working cross-platform with Mac.
• Fixed a bug whereby the asterisk in the titlebar indicating the project's unsaved state did not appear until after the first save.
• Improved the load time for projects and Scrivenings sessions.
• Corrected the Interactive Tutorial's instructions for creating new root-level folders.
• Corrected a typo in the auto-numbering menu.

Note: A summary list of all changes and fixes will be made available on our website here in the next few days.
