It may continue to be called Scrivener, but if they made the kind of radical changes you're suggesting, it would cease to *be* Scrivener.

Well, your vote counts for exactly the same as mine -- zero.

KB's vision, design, and willingness to code are what matters.

And I don't know what "custom code and frameworks" apps like Apple Pages, or for that matter, the iOS version of Microsoft Word use. But Microsoft Word on iOS can handle essentially all the formatting that Microsoft Word everywhere else can. Probably more to the point -- if anyone actuall...

Any news or updates on a android version of Scrivener yet? I mainly do all my writing on my laptop, however, it's not always convenient to have it with me and I would like the ability to at least make notes/edit my current work. Any info would be great Not yet. A recent blog post has moved the rele...

Again, it doesn't have to do with the relative power of the iPads vs. Macs so much as it is what Apple has included in the relevant OS APIs. The most powerful iOS apps use custom code and frameworks rather than depending on Apple's code. I wish L&L would step up to that. Scrivener's shortcoming...

Sorry, but I am very wary of this. WineHQ is a bit cautious about Winetricks, more or less saying that if you use it, you're on your own. And, since I have a working version of Scrivener under Wine and the v1.9.12 breaks things so thoroughly, I shall note your solution, but I have a special bargepo...

Again, it doesn't have to do with the relative power of the iPads vs. Macs so much as it is what Apple has included in the relevant OS APIs. Until Apple puts the underlying functionality in to work with, some of the Scrivener features can't be ported to iOS.

Well, if that's the case, my recommendation would be "don't do that." Leaving projects open all the time is a bad idea in general, and a terrible idea if those projects are also being edited from another device. It that case there is no point to having Scrivener for iOS. "I'm doing t...

I want the missing features of the Mac version of Scrivener to come to the iPad. Nobody wants a version with missing features, neighbor. Why can't I have the same compile options available on the iPad? Why can't I have scrivenings? Why can't I have a freeform corkboard? Two reasons. 1) KB wants to ...

Please read this article, which summarizes best practices to reduce the risk of synchronization errors: https://scrivener.tenderapp.com/help/kb/cloud-syncing/using-scrivener-with-cloud-sync-services The OneDrive advisory should probably be updated, as this part is no longer true: In fact, the "...

Just...be careful...when using OneDrive, even on modern versions of Windows 10. I have seen OneDrive corrupt Scrivener projects even when the "Always keep files on device" option was checked on parent folder of the Scrivener project. I have not been able to produce corruption on demand, an...

For what it's worth, I'm using the same approach -- folder for each part, folder for each chapter, document for each scene. I've taken the relevant paragraphs from my outline and placed them into the summaries of each part, chapter, and scene, so when I view them in the outline the Title/Summary col...

to the effect that Scrivener for Windows is the best tool for writing in the Windows environment, so who cares if it lags behind the Mac version For the record, this is not an accurate summation of anyone's responses. What *was* said is that Scrivener for Windows 1.9.x is a complete program in its ...

We get it that some people want stasis and are happy to condemn potential without ever actually knowing or trying, but do we need them constantly shouting into their own echo chambers about their own narrow-minded needs, rather than having an open discussion about factual, actual, real-world change...

I'm currently using Scrivener with Crossover, in a 32 bit bottle. The only problem is that starting with 19.9.10 you can't put your registration information in and have it recognized. Are you by any chance in your system firewall doing domain black/whitelisting for the licensing service Scrivener u...
