I started reading e-books before e-books were a thing, with a simple e-reading app on my (dear heavens, has it been that long?) Palm LifeDrive. I also started mobile writing with that Palm... yes, this was before Kindles were introduced. Snap! I started in about 1997 on a Palm IIIxe (the best one w...

After years of being on the side of Dropbox, it just works, I have had major problems with it--but not because of Scrivener. I have huge video files that I am trying to live in the cloud forever and only bring them on to the computer when absolutely necc. These files are 45-70 gbs. So it was draini...

Oh, I see. Many thanks, Brookter.

Actually, the whole process has been positive. I've learned a lot. It's good to be paddling in Scrivener again (even if I did scare myself).

The Synced Documents is a Collection. When I opened the project on my laptop, it was what was presented (but I freaked out because it was "coral" coloured and then realised it was a collection). I can select the x and close the collection and then see my Drafts (which looks the same except...

Thanks Lunk.
So...my Synced Documents and my Draft is...the same thing? I'm kinda paralysed by the two options. Which one do I edit on my laptop? I hate being the dumbest person in class. Sigh.

Well, this is embarrassing. Obviously, this is the first time I've opened an iOS created and then synced project on my laptop. Created the project on the iPad, Dropbox synced, DB synced the laptop (so I had a copy) and then worked on the iPad. Synced again to Dropbox and then to the laptop. No confl...

This is the way I do it and (touch wood) I've never had an issue: Always Keep Dropbox paused (or turned off) by default while using Scrivener ! On PC1, open Dropbox and sync (make sure the syncing is complete!) and once complete, close Dropbox (or pause) Open Scrivener and your project. Write, write...

Australian apples (my favourites...the fuji or the gala). But for the "whoa, that's out there!" brigade, I give you the Australian Bloodwood apple where you eat the grub inside it. And Granny Smith's original orchard (now a thriving suburb with barely any gardens, let alone orchards) was ...

Lately, I've been using my notebook and favorite pen more and more. I find that writing comes easier for some reason (without the flashing cursor mocking me). I enjoy writing with a pen (or pencil). Since swinging back to notebooks, I've written more in a few weeks than in the previous year. So, it'...

They do indeed. They did exactly that to Bob the Weird MacBook. Twice! I got very good at restoring from Time Machine.

I'm afraid I'm with PeterPenguin on this. I lost my Adobe web apps (Dreamweaver and Fireworks) when I moved to my new iMac (with Sierra). I was spitting nails. Especially when I saw the price of what Adobe* wanted to "upgrade" too (neither app has actually been upgraded since Adobe swallow...

OMG yes! I used Voodoopad back in the day (a lot of days ago). It was super handy. Glad to see it re-emerge. Thanks for the heads up, Ioa.

If you have an iPad, I found Timeline Builder to be absolutely simple and no frills (although exporting the timelines is a bit tricky). It worked for me though, as I just basically wanted a "mud map" so that I made sure things were in order. Having said that...I eventually returned to Aeon.

You could try converting it to text using https://www.browserling.com/tools/html-to-text

However, if you want it formatted, you could try HTML-RTF conversion https://convertio.co/html-rtf/ (but I'm not sure how much of the formatting it would bring across).

Can we make the [blerking] items in brackets mandatory for all posts, please?

There just isn't enough love for [jammy whoopin']. Ioa, you are the wind beneath my [flooping] wings.
