(EDIT: There's a solution to your problem: see the bottom of the post). You see that large bar in the middle of the tool bar with the tool bar ? That has a double function of showing you document information and as the Quick Search bar (it's also called the 'toolbar search field'.) (Actually, it has...
Well, it reduces your current three clicks to two, which is a 33% improvement... As I said, I think you'll have to ask the developers to add the old search field into the toolbar customisations, as it is on the Mac. But, as usual, if you're looking for the quickest route, your best bet is to use the...
If you want Project Search to be permanently visible, make sure View > Binder and View > Collections are both ticked. You'll see that Search Results is now an entry at the top of the binder. This seems to persist over closing the project. Now, if you click on the magnifying glass, you'll get the Pro...
Sorry for the delay — I missed your reply. Scrivenings mode is just the official term for the long virtual document you get when you select more than one document in the binder. The easiest way to get to it is to toggle Ctl-1 — it moves between showing the Scrivening (all selected content) and singl...
Why AppleScript as a matter of interest — Scrivener doesn't have AppleScript support, as far as I know, so you're pushing against the grain, when there are tools which are designed to do this. Have a look at Keyboard Maestro, it's made for controlling programs in this way. A few years ago I wrote so...
Are you working inside the Scrivener project when you make these notes, or you're working on something else and you get a good idea which you want to incorporate with the minimum of fuss into the project without having to do it manually? Notes from outside Scrivener: If it's the latter then perhaps ...
Fair enough. How about this? Assuming that all the targets are in the Drafts/Manuscript folder and the Notes are all in the Research folder — obviously, adjust as necessary. What you need to is to have a three pane setup (though you can hide the Binder after the setup is complete). Left pane: Binder...
Select them all in the Binder and the word count in the Footer should show the combined total of all the documents younwant to include, as well as the combined text (the 'Scrivening'). Or if you want them all, just click on the Draft/Manuscript folder and make sure it’s in Scrivening mode. This shou...
Why can't you just click and hold on document A in the Binder and drag it to position B in the Binder? This works just the way it does in the Finder: there's really no need to complicate matters with split editors.
This isn't precisely what you're asking for, but if you look in in Options: > Appearance > Scrivenings > Fonts , there should be an option to set the main font size for Scrivening Titles, with a decrease of x points per binder level. E.g. you set the top level of the Binder to be 18pt, with a reduct...
The process is: 1. In compile, right click on the format (Modern etc) and choose 'Duplicate and Edit' 2. Save so you're back at the starting compilation screen. 3. In your duplicated format assign the relevant Section Type to the Section Layout in the normal way 4. Click on the little pencil to edit...
It doesn't work for me on Windows v3, but the same project *does* work on the Mac. (i.e. just add *** to custom separators between the section layouts used for scenes or text sections: they are centred without any problem — no need for unpleasant shenanigans involving CSS...) So it looks like a bug ...
It should do it already — I've just tested with a new project and the styles come through properly (with no changes to the def default settings needed.) I tested it with Compile -> Modern (Microsoft Word), assigned an appropriate section layout and pressed compile. That turned this: Screenshot 2021-...
And Quick Reference panels — you can have as many of those open as you want, I think. This is a screenshot of a 27" screen with 8 editors open - 2 'normal', 2 'copyeditors', and 4 'Quick Reference panels'. (It's on an iMac using Parallels with Win Scrivener V3.) Screenshot 2021-03-28 at 09.28.4...
