I have a folder where I direct my backups. It is set in Options. After importing a compile setting, the next backups made will the saved to the CompileSettings folder, unless manually changed back to the preferred path, even though, in Options, the correct path is still indicated. I would report thi...

Can I install 1.9 in addition 1.8.6, rather than overwriting the current installation?

Any special precautions, other than the file format changes?

Thanks.

Two compile options would be nice.

An option to automatically open the file upon completion.

When trying to compile to a filename that is currently open, the notification dialog should have a "retry" button that when clicked will proceed with the compile as is.

Thanks, David. Those are good suggestions, but solve the problem at the cost of losing all text (character) formatting, and also footnotes and annotations. Footnotes and annotations actually carry over very nicely between Scriv and Word, but they can't survive, in either direction, a "paste spe...

Are there known page margin and/or tab settings that will let me paste from Scrivener, to Word, and back again, while retaining the same displayed paragraph width? I'm using Word 2007 on Windows 8.1. This is giving me no end of grief. Trying to describe what happens during the round trip is extremel...

Thanks, Jerome.

Would be good if there was a way to cancel the loading of a long multi, e.g., by pressing Esc. Even on a fast computer, a folder with many documents can take a long time to open, during which time Scrivener goes unresponsive. It usually manages to load the multi and return control, but it can take a...

As noted earlier, we're hoping for a just a short beta run, so we may have the official 1.9 out before the 8 October date anyway. Wow! That constitutes a tidal wave of a leak from the normally tight lipped Scrivener insiders. :mrgreen: Had hoped for finally gaining implementation of the long awaite...

In answer to the above, yes, the project format itself has been updated (the changes were fairly minor, nothing you’ll notice unless you go digging into XML files) and once you do that to a project, it won’t open in 1.8.6. Thanks for clarifying that. So then, some caution is in order. Are there any...

Thanks, MM. It's on the bottom of page 240, under Global Changes Re: resizable dialogs, I think resizability really should be the design default when dialogs are created. There will always been exceptions, but in principle, any multi-row dialog, especially when the line items have multiple fields or...

The documentation says, about the Compiler Formatting settings: If you want to apply settings to only certain rows, you can use the standard Copy and Paste functions to copy settings from one row and paste them into another... But I don't see how this works. I highlight the row for Level 1, Ctrl-C, ...

Hey congratulations on this! It has been eagerly awaited. :-) Sounds like there's some nice stuff in this. This leaves me confused: * Scrivener's file format has been updated. The .scriv file format has some minor changes, in preparation for syncing with the mobile version and for future updates. Up...

Hi Jerome. Yes, It does show collections. That's how it can be done. A total failure on my part to put 2 and 2 together. Thank you!

Hey thanks for the reply.

We don't seem to have that on the Windows version. At least not under the main Compile Contents dropdown.

Hi. Is it possible to compile documents that are not in the Draft folder?

Thank you!
