Hi! Somehow this hadn't occurred to me. So I just installed the trial version of Scriv 3 for Windows... but when I tried opening a previous project, the binder elements are there but all the text inside each chapter is missing. Another project seems to have opened intact, though. Are your projects ...

Actually, this Control Panel move operates well when there isn’t an uninstalled present. It will in that case tell you the app looks already uninstalled, and ask if you want to remove it from the list. I’ve never had trouble with this; always worked and especially with Scrivener cleanup, but of cou...

It is now April 2021 and Scrivener still can't generate a Kindle mobi file. Still demanding that I upload Kindlegen, which no longer exists. I use your program to write and to publish, but now it's broken when trying to create files for my biggest customer. Seriously? I have been happy with Scriven...

Yeah, I'd recommend an approach of that nature. It would be very unusual to ask for confirmation on quit, especially in a program that auto-saves like Scrivener. Maybe a preference (off by default) that allows such a confirmation to be used by people who want it and don't want to remap their key bi...

I'm loving Scrivener so far, but I was very disappointed the Windows version did not have the different options for highlighting words such as adverbs like the Mac version does. Will you be implementing this for the Windows version? It would be a massive help to have such a tool! That facility is, ...

iCloud sync is a problem because synchronicity fails for the various parts of a project. How do we know Backblaze doesn't have that problem? Backblaze isn't doing anything unique that other backup programs don't do. On Linux and MacOS, you don't generally have volume-level snapshots without using e...

In that sense [snip a bunch of spurious stuff that isn't really the same thing at all so why the heck did you bring it all up like it was relevant?] A lot of them can't find their zip backups, but I don't say they're not backups because of it. I really thought better of you. That's not even middle ...

Does the latest version of Scrivener iOS allow this moving (or copying) of files and folders between projects? I haven't found a way. It seems odd not to be able to, if that is the case. No. Scrivener for iOS does not allow you to open multiple projects at the same time (in part due to limitations ...

No, Bob, *it is not*. It is a sync service with versioning (snip) It is *not* a true point-in-time backup service, where you have a discrete set of files that were all backed up at the same time (or close to it, depending on whether your underlying file system has something like a snapshot capabili...

Dropbox absolutely is a backup location, especially so for zip backups. Even if you delete a file on purpose, it's still there for 30+ days. More than once, after buying a new Mac, I've restored from Dropbox. I'm puzzled what else we'd want from a "backup". No, Bob, *it is not*. It is a s...

Be sure to allow plenty of time for syncs to complete, notice immediately if anything seems off, and know what to do if that happens (restore from a recent zip backup). We've had some other users talk about Cirrus for the MacOS side to monitor iCloud sync status -- is there anything on the iOS side...

Hi Everyone, I have Scrivener on Mac and currently backup to Icloud. I'm fairly mobile and have been thinking about getting scrivener on iOS but I understand I can't use Icloud. I really don't want to use Dropbox because I already pay for cloud storage through iCloud. Am I stuck just using Scrivene...

Dropbox is free (currently) as long as you only log in on three machines, which is why I use it., One Mac, One PC laptop, One iPad. Actually, the iOS version of Scrivener doesn't even count against that limit. As long as you don't install the Dropbox client on your iOS device. If you do that, it wi...

Are you using Quick Search or Project Search? The manual chapter 11 covers the differences between the two, and you can access the manual from within Scrivener by pressing F1.

and the butt-clench flying a fixed wing through a downdraft at 500, oops now 200 feet. Many years back, I was on a United flight making our approach into O'Hare on a fairly turbulent day. I had the entertainment system tuned to the channel that let you listen to the radio channel the pilots were tu...
