Thanks for the idea! I have tried this, but this makes the icons I put in this 'category' disappear and a blank section appear in Scrivener. When I hover over it, no expanded menu appears, and when I click on it, it gives a blank icon. Oh no. I chose poorly when I used the : character as a separato...

In the mean-time, you can name your icons as you import them, so that they sort like an expanded set of folders. For example:

faces:smile
faces:lol
faces:eye roll
books:stack
books:open
books:green
books:blue

That will at least help you visually scan for the right category of icons.

39k is a lot of text to highlight and then fiddle with bold/italic, etc... Scrivener has built-in ways of normalizing text without selecting it, such as the Documents->Convert->Text To Default Format, which uses the settings in either Scrivener->Preferences->Editing->Formatting, or the equivalent se...

We only eat the rude ones, and then only after they've been slow-roasted to reduce the bitter aftertaste.

Sync with external Folder is for editing some of your documents using another piece of software, not for syncing entire Scrivener projects for use by other computers running Scrivener. If you've already figured out how to sync between Mac Scrivener and iOS Scrivener, then you should just do the same...

You can import the scapple file as an alias. File->Import->Import Research Files as Aliases it the menu, I believe. I think it should borrow the quicklook view of your scapple document from the finder to display in Scrivener, but won't actually add a copy of the file into the project.

In theory that sounds right, but where do these backup.scriv files appear from? I keep capturing them and zipping them in folders. At that point there are no files with this extension. Then they start creeping back. If you open a project that is in Scrivener 2's format, Scrivener 3 will create a ba...

To avoid having lingering projects in an old format, search your hard drive for .scriv projects. Sort by name, and discard the "backup" copies of those that have them. For the ones that don't already have backup copies, open them in scrivener. If they needed to be converted to the new form...

Because Scrivener files are saved in their own proprietary format, you cannot access and edit your projects on your phone or tablet , even if they are stored on Dropbox. Scrivener files can only be opened by running Scrivener on Windows-based operating sys Perhaps I missed something skimming the or...

I just wanted to second the suggestion of using collections. At the compile window, there's going to be a filter that allows you to select a collection for inclusion or exclusion of the documents listed therein. You can either add documents to "manual" collections, or if there are searchab...

Also, you can view and edit bookmarked documents in the inspector, for a 5th "split", not counting the floating quick reference windows.

I'm not sure what's going on here, but are you sure all of your text was pasted into Scrivener? Maybe your copy buffer wasn't big enough? Try dragging the Word document into the draft folder to see if the entire document is imported that way. FYI, it will copy, not move, you file's contents into Scr...

The first step you need to do, is to make sure you have one Section Type for each of your parts as mentioned. Under Project->Project Settings, make sure you have one Section Type for each of ... parts chapters small scenes memories There's a tab within that window that lets you tell Scrivener what i...

If you change the formatting in one document the way you want it, and then go into the Project->Project Settings->Formatting section, you can tick the box for having a different default for just that project. Then there's a button called "use current" you can click to borrow your currently...
