------ I've been using computers since about 1981. At work I usually become the person co-workers turn to to learn how to use a piece of software to accomplish a task. And I absolutely HATE Scrivener's compile "feature". The problem exists in two areas: Usability and documentation. Whereas...

FYI, Scrivener 1.7.3.0 provided me with the very first Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) I've seen on this Windows 7 64-bit system. (For what it's worth, I don't believe the BSOD had anything to to with 1.7.3.0 specifically; I updated just this morning). I wanted to add this Web page to a new project's Re...

I have observed that design in general, and user interface design in one specific, is a bit like coaching a sports team or being a stand-up comedian. Many people in the seats are certain they know better than the coach or are funnier than the person on stage. Their certainty lasts right up to the mo...

If you already have it, recent versions of Photoshop have "proofing" models for the various common forms of colour blindness… A bit to the side of the discussion, but worth noting, is that there are Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) designed to "make content accessible to a...

I too have encountered this problem in version 1.6.1.0 for Windows.

Cheers & hope this heips,

In my Windows 7 computer, the way I solve this problem is to use the free WinSorter utility.:

Among the many WinSorter operations is Count selected characters, words, and lines…

By coincidence I came across this article titled "How to Edit a PDF": http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/how-to-edit-a-pdf/ The noteworthy entry is the third item in the list, the free program AbleWord. I did a quick test of it on a PDF and a Word document. My quick tests on the PDF lo...

As stated, this issue has been around for a while. See: http://literatureandlatte.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=19835#p168217 Specifically: We have made a lot of changes to integrate new PDF tools for the next update and are aiming for a more thorough overhaul for the next major upgrade. The ne...

My entire project was initially imported from an openoffice document. Based on my experience with other programs, I suspect that import operation is at the root of the problem. Word processing / desktop publishing programs will sometimes use non-standard space characters for purposes of justifying ...

Sure agree with this, although I had some problems with the "highlight" color in the Binder... if you have a dark background in the Binder, I couldn't figure out a way to set the "selected" color to be light.Bruce See also http://literatureandlatte.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&am...

… So even though I'm considering this, the overall focus is definitely on becoming less cluttered. One model for multi-featured usefulness that seems to be working well is the Firefox browser. The basic browser doesn't stray into specialization, leaving that for designers of browser extensions. Thi...

If anything like this *were* ever added, it would just be something hidden away in the Edit > Writing Tools menu… I genuinely don't mean to sound flippant or snide, but is not that the sort of "just one more feature won't hurt" thinking that produced that paragon of UN-usability, Microsof...

something that could be added to a future version of Scrivener given that Apple has provided the tools to do exactly this. I for one wish that these sorts of supplemental processes not be embedded into or bolted onto Scrivener and by extension its user interface. My proximate concern is that while ...

A free tool I find useful for backing up files to an external driver or USB stick is DirSync Pro : http://dirsyncpro.org/download.html Setting up a synchronization job takes a bit of fiddling, and one does well to verify that a given synchronization job is doing the right thing, but after that's bee...

This is something that is definitely coming in a future version. It was introduced to the Mac version very recently… So it will be coming to the Windows version, too. Just curious — which dialect of REGEX will be supported? See Different Regular Expression Engines . I'm running the Windows version ...
