Three free years of Scrivener 2 I think is more accurate. We're now into the fourth December of the beta, and in a month we'll be in the fifth calendar year. Sure we can joke about it, but each new beta release has brightened our lives through cold winters, the pandemic, and the Trump admin. So gla...
Attempting to justify a product which has been in beta for over 2 years , all the while promising "any time now" for an RTM version is, frankly, absurd. Either L&L just doesn't care about its Windows users or they're flat-out incompetent. As for the claim that it is stable and bug-fre...
It's sad, but understandable that you feel this way. It's also understandable if you were to find another writing solution, one that better suits your needs. If you find it, please come back and let the rest of us know, so that we might be able to make informed decisions. Have a lovely day.
I, too, would like to see the many reports of users leaving Scrivener. Personally, whenever I see threads on Reddit, Twitter, and other forums asking the best tool for writing, the number one answer is almost always Scrivener. I'm seeing people recommending others start using the program, not give u...
The expiration is so that bug reports are all for the same version of the beta. And every time the expiration date approaches, the new beta version goes live. They haven't missed a single date, as far as I can recall, and I remember using the original Windows beta for many months, years ago. There a...
It was never going to be a free update for all users, only for "new" users who purchased after the initial announcement. But, they do say that all other existing users will be able to purchase Scrivener 3 for only $25. That's a hell of a deal, to be honest. Am I upset that I won't get it f...
To build off what Mark said, even though each machine uses its own layout, you can save all the layouts in your project and easily switch between them with the Window>Layouts option.
I agree that they jumped the gun and have been very irresponsible in their promises. It's not going to change anything now, but blaming the customers for being upset isn't the way to go. A customer should NEVER be expected to use a beta version of a software. If you know anything of the software de...
Lunk, As I mentioned, I am a long time occasional user of Scrivener. I do own a copy so I feel I do have a right to comment in this forum. It annoys me when I see throw away comments and insulting behaviour directed at people who have genuine issues on any forums. A few people will always go on the...
1. For whichever document or folder you want to highlight in the Binder, open it up and go to the General Meta-Data pane and give it a Label color. Then, go to View>Use Layout Color In> and choose Binder or Icons. In the Binder, the document will now either show a colored dot (if you chose Binder in...
So, as of right now, we're in the same place as we were well before this thread was even started. People have voiced their concerns, their criticisms, and their frustrations over the missed deadline. Why, then, do they KEEP SAYING THE SAME THINGS? Over and over and over again comes this familiar ref...
Any issues that people might have with the software can easily be found BEFORE spending any money on it, as the trial is full-featured and is for THIRTY FREAKING DAYS. If you can't figure out in a month that the software doesn't do what you want, that's on you, and you alone.
