I just solved this on my system, so I thought I'd post the solution here. Ibus was installed on my computer using Kubuntu 19.10, but I still ran into the problem where Scrivener would produce the same character every time I tried typing an accent. I.e., if I first typed é, every accented character t...

Ah, thanks!

@ Literature & Latte - are any optimisations or changes that will speed up loading times when working with larger *.scriv folders planned?

Thank you for your reply!

What do you mean when you say a 'mix' works? I'd like to try out your approach on my Windows PC.

Many thanks in advance!

I have a Scrivener project folder which I have been using for the past ten years or so as a repository for notes concerning the various sources that I work on as a scholar. This has always worked well. By allowing me to organise, edit and look up information in one and the same interface, Scrivener ...

That's wonderful - thanks!

You are welcome! This appears to be a permissions issue. EDIT #1 - odd: I was able to edit a text that had a comment by running the programme as an administrator, but was able to do this only once. No further edits held - they were gone when I restarted Scrivener. EDIT #2 - I am no longer sure this ...

I think I've discovered a very substantial bug in the new beta: If you add comments to a text you can no longer edit it . To replicate, * Create a new project; * Add two identical texts to either 'draft' or 'research' (use e.g. lorem ipsum); * Add a comment to one of the two texts (shift-F4); * Save...

Thank you for your reply. This feature would aid the research process that underlies the writing of a document for publication, such as an article intended for a journal. That is to say, it is not intended for the ultimate output that is sent to the editor. I know how to use HTML when editing a web ...

I am afraid that using Scrivenings mode whenever you need to compare two or more passages doesn't entirely solve the problem. Using links like the one I describe allows you to write a single, internally coherent text, such as a summary of a book, and add an extra layer which facilitates the process ...

Would it be possible to add to Scrivener the ability to create links between two or more passages within the same text? I am a literary historian, and often work on complexly interrelated texts. A feature like the one I describe above would make it much easier to keep track of connections and/or par...
