The last time I had to draw a map for a fiction project I did it in Scapple. All it takes is a few labels and then drawing shapes around them. It was only so I could keep the directions of travel and relative locations straight, so a bit of blockiness wasn't an issue. One of the main mistakes it hel...
The simplest answer to this is to add a label in the title of the document, enclosed in square brackets. So your title in Scrivener would look like: Aristotle's thesis [aristotlesthesis] On compile to MMD that gives the correct title Aristotle's thesis , and the label you have chosen. I use this fea...
I've used this method for maintaining two versions of a manual for thermal calculation software, one for the UK and one for Australia (each country uses different methods of calculating heat loss). I've not seen the flattening of the hierarchy in the collections, because I use MMD and produce the fi...
@Jonglin: The writer you were recalling is Robert Graves. That story – set in Wales rather than Ireland – is Week-end at Cwm Tatws which is in his collection The Shout and other stories . (And as an aside, Cwm Tatws, although perhaps sounding suitably welsh to the non-welsh speaker, can be roughly t...
If there's one thing that annoys me about MMD it's the typing of tables. Maybe it's that my touch-typing doesn't readily encompass the | symbol, I don't know, but I find them a touch clunky to set up. Brett Terpstra clearly feels the same way, as he has added a new service to his Markdown Service To...
I experienced this to start with. It turned out to be the result of the time delay in Dropbox syncing between my Mac and their servers (with a few Scrivener projects there were thousands of files involved. Once Dropbox had caught up on both my Macs I pressed sync on Scrivener iOS and waited again (a...
If the project is showing in the 'On my iPhone' section of the list click Edit, then select the project using the circle on the left hand side of the list and drag the project into the Dropbox part of the list using the three horizontal bars on the right of the screen. Once it has moved it will show...
From the main screen select 'Edit'. You will then see a tool icon bottom right. Press that and select 'Dropbox settings', which will let you set the sync folder.
In Scrivener go to Dropbox settings and there select the folder which should be used for syncing. You can either chose the default, or pick an existing folder.
Once you have selected the folder, sync, and Scrivener should show the projects in that folder.
You need to open the project in Scrivener (iOS). You will need to make sure your existing Scrivener (Mac/Win) projects are in the Dropbox folder you have selected. I moved my existing projects to Dropbox/Apps/Scrivener (the recommended location), made a cup of coffee while dropbox synced thousands o...
Not quite three panes, but you can use a quick reference panel to do this. ⋅ Split the main pane into two. ⋅ Right click on the document you will be using for notes. ⋅ Select Open>As Quick Reference . ⋅ Go back to the main window and select your two source doc...
I don't know if there's anyway of setting that up automatically, but when I want that effect I just go for CMD+I and it seems to work. Not a very sophisticated approach, I admit.
