Busted again. Worked for awhile, then I made some changes in the rtf files in the Sync folder (using LibreOffice to make the changes). When I reopened the project in Scrivener, it did not report any changes nor offer to sync. I then manually made it sync. Paragraphs that had no numbering applied, no...

I found the problem and think it was something I did wrong.

To fix, I disassociated the Folder from the project(s) and created a new folder to sync to. Now opening the projects checks as it should.

I have more than one project using Scrivener v3 (the Mac App store version). I use the feature of Sync with External Folder. I have the settings checked so that the project should sync when I open the project, and sync when I close the project. These folders are on my internal drive. The Projects th...

I'm looking to upgrade my gear. I have Scrivener for both macOS and iOS, currently on the 9.7inch iPad Pro. The larger 12.9inch intrigues me, though I read many comments to the effect it is a bit unwieldy. Apple's specs claim the 10.5inch is almost 20% larger than my 9.7inch. Is the 12.9inch a big s...

Thank You! That did it.

I had the idea to bypass MMD entirely by prefixing and suffixing my styles with the HTML, and so far my tests are working out just as I had hoped. This alone is likely enough to prompt me to buy v3, though only one of my 3 macs can run Sierra+.

Thanks again. Wonderful!

In section 15.5 of the User Manual for Scrivener 3 is the following: By way of a very simple example, one could create a style called “html Comment”. The look of the style in the text editor would be completely arbitrary— what really matters is what happens when the compiler is set up to look for ra...

Just a heads-up: the interactive Tutorial that comes inside the new v2.7 in Chapter 5 regarding the Inspector, in several places refers to the toolbar of the Inspector (with the icons for choosing snapshot, keyword, notes etc) as being in its old place at the bottom of the Inspector rather than its ...

OK, to answer my old question (in case anybody else wants to try this), I went ahead and threw 2.5 on the old iBook. Seems to work like a charm.

You know software is good when it still works on 11-year old gear.

Recently the bug has bitten me to set up a 'writing computer' using my old iBook G4 (1GHz) since I have that lying around doing nothing. The old darling with letters rubbed off many keys is running osx 10.5 Leopard, the last version to run on PPC architecture. It runs fair slow nowadays, and I wonde...

I don't know how feasible this might be. I even imagine Keith et al. have already considered this and discarded the idea because it is not feasible. Still I will go ahead and offer it as a suggestion: Why not change the default format of the Scrivener project to a compressed zip archive of all the f...

You describe the levels of organization in your text. This organization must be matched in the binder. at that point you can set up the titles of each part, chapter, section etc as you wish. In the Formatting pane of the Compile dialogue, you will find that you can select various levels. In the menu...

I can't say I agree that Scriv's 'paperback novel' will do it for most writers. The big problem comes with justification. Drop caps is a flourish that a lot of writers desire, but still they only occur at each chapter head, whilst justification occurs on every line. One of the phenomena of any text-...

I'm interested too. Whenever the new upgrade comes, I want to install it right away. I really want it. But I know there are always unforeseen wrinkles. This time I am holding off, and any reports of problems with Yosemite strengthen my resolve to ... wait.

So keep us all informed, please!

Your problem is weird beyond my ken, but here are a couple of stabs at testing things to find a solution: First, and this is the easiest, try to select all these 136 documents in the binder as one big scrivening, select all (CMD-A) and change the font. I say this is the easiest because if the proble...

OK, here is how I would do it: 1. format a paragraph the way you want it, including white space above and/or below, indents, font, and so forth. 2. under the Format - Formatting, click on New Preset from Selection 3. you will get a dialogue box. There is a dropdown inside the box that likely is set ...
