What I would do: With Scrivener closed, make a backup, just in case. Browse to the project contents as you have done, and simply delete the problem files. They look like some sort of artifact, not essential parts of the project. Open the project in Scrivener and confirm that all is well. Katherine

What if you compile to another format, like PDF or RTF?

No true Englishman would use Websters! It's in Chambers, though, fyi

Americans, of course, are required to pretend that no alternatives to Webster exist.

Set padding in the New Pages tab of the appropriate Section Layout.

See Section 24.2.5 in the Mac Scrivener manual for more information.

Format -> Paragraph -> Tabs and Indents to set exact numbers. Once you've formatted one paragraph to work the way you want, you can use the Project -> Project Settings -> Formatting pane to make it the default for this project, or Scrivener -> Scrivener Preferences -> Editing -> Formatting to make i...

I was a passenger once on a helicopter tour over the main crater on Kilauea, Hawaii. The pilot had been casually answering questions, pointing out the scientific instruments on the rim, and so on. Then he got really quiet. Maybe his jaw line tensed a little bit. I felt the slightest little bobble. T...

A "perfect" synchronization service -- fast and reliable under all circumstances -- doesn't exist. And probably *can't* exist, given the structure of the internet as a whole. There was the time Dropbox flat out broke synchronization. There was the time an Apple bug caused unreliable synchr...

No. Because of the structure of a Scrivener project, merely locking the application would not deny access to your work. Anyone with unrestricted access to the computer can simply use Windows Explorer to browse directly to the individual files. If you need to secure your data, you should use one of t...

Please ensure that the Dropbox software is installed, running, and logged into your Dropbox account on both the Windows and Mac systems. Consult Dropbox support if you don't know how to do this. Then, create an ordinary text file on either device. Ensure that it successfully synchronizes to the othe...

What’s the point of using words that the reader doesn’t understand? I see your point and raise you Neal Stephenson's "Anathem." I've read it. The Glossary runs 20 pages, at about 10-12 words per page. So a few hundred words, not thousands. Most of which were sufficiently understandable fr...

Many pilots refuse to go anywhere near helicopters for exactly this reason.

Hooray!

Yes, changing the name of the project is one of the things that can make the Recent Projects menu unreliable.

Thank you for letting us know you're back on track.

Pilots live and die by checklists. Every task that you might want to do on an airplane is detailed in a checklist, including recovering from emergencies. On some emergency checklists, the first step is "Wind your watch." Why? Because if you're at a reasonable altitude nothing bad is going ...

The Recent Projects menu can be out of date for any of a number of reasons. You can locate all projects on your system by searching for .scriv folders in Windows Explorer. I believe the automatic backup location for Windows Scrivener is defined on the File -> Options -> Backups pane. (Edited to corr...

Why not use the Mac OS Mission Control function? It will show all open windows at once, much more quickly than you could scroll through the Binder looking for flags.
