There is no fix for the underlying problem that you can make, Scrivener is not receiving PDF files via the mechanism of "opening" the PDF in Scrivener, which is how it worked before. It is on the list to be fixed, I can't really speculate much more beyond that into whether it can be or when.

All right, could you attach a zipped copy of the Format file so I can take a look at it? If it may have personal info in it (page headers/footers etc.) then feel free to PM me.

I believe if you review the thread you are responding to, you will find it is on our list, and you will also encounter some workarounds that may work for you.

All right, I can only say what Scrivener is expecting. Lacking any knowledge of what the macro is meant to do, how it works, or what parts of the Scrivener UI it is tapping into, I couldn’t say what is going wrong. The only thing I can think to elaborate on is that if you copy some text with an inte...

Sorry, I should have anticipated that your Format may have been saved globally, rather than to the project. Yes, if it is a format found in the “My Formats” section of the sidebar, it will be in your main Scrivener support folder. The only files with file ending “.scrformat” are within the Scrivener...

Internal document links, bookmarks and for that matter external links between projects or from other software, all operate upon the internal ID that is assigned to an item when you create it. No amount of moving it around or renaming it will ever sever that link. The only action I can think of off o...

Hmm, if it is refusing to go away then the code that is designed to clean up and clear empty fields is not working properly either, in this scenario. My guess would be that since it isn’t properly coded to understand styled text in the first place, it also is somewhat “blind” to its presence. If you...

Sorry to say, I was only trying to help by relaying troubleshooting steps I’ve heard other people saying from threads, such as the one you were linked to above. Why is such a major and fundamental bug still present in a professional writing software? I don’t get it. Generally speaking when you have ...

Ebooks indeed are an entirely different matter. The others are referring to print media, which requires a different and much more complicated toolset, either via the WYSIWYG model in desktop publishing software or other systems such as LaTeX. Ebooks are just HTML and CSS with some additional glue to...

You are not wrong about TextEdit, and for that matter most Mac software that handles images in the text. NeXTSTEP came up with the RTFD format (and that OS eventually “became” Mac OS X) as a way of handling images. But since Scrivener has to make documents for more than just Mac users, we implemente...

That code specifically shouldn't ever come up as visible in Scrivener, it is one of the hidden codes it uses to mark style usage. Last I checked, styles don't work correctly in the Prefix and Suffix fields yet, which is probably how they ended up showing as codes like that. You can safely delete the...

This is already something you can do with custom metadata. You’ll find a general introduction to metadata in §10.4, Organising with Metadata , but custom fields are covered in §10.4.4, pg. 243. They show up in a special pane of the inspector, but you can also add them as a column to the Outliner view.

I think mainly you need to switch your keyboard focus over into the editor, rather than leaving the selection active in the binder. The inspector can only show one item at a time, so when you have several items loaded at once it will revert to these limited options. In Scrivenings mode over in the e...

Oh, if that's the main reason you've been using it, you can paste pictures into RTF as well, and it is cross-platform compatible with Scrivener for Windows!

Unfortunately that wouldn't be safe to do, as the RTFD format's sub-file could be damaged by editing it directly in an RTF editor that wasn't using the Mac to edit the file. For example if you drop an image into the text editor, it adds the image as a separate file, and then inserts an invisible mar...
