Please read the entirety of my 2 posts. I have macOS 10,14.3 The Dropbox location was my initial clue that something was wrong—none of my projects stored in Dropbox are being indexed.

What version of Mac OS do you have? Spotlight correctly indexes and locates all Scrivener projects on my system, both old and new, stored in Dropbox and not.

Last night I opened a project I hadn't used for a while. I opened it from the Finder and within a 6 minutes the project's Content Type changed from com.literatureandlatte.scrivener3.scriv to com.apple.alias-file I checked the project setting ↑ using OrangeCard (App Store) This change prevents the pr...

Bobembry, I'd still be interested to know why you singled out the nsservicescache file and so on. Are these also sync-related? My problem is related to Services shortcuts being spontaneously reset to some "default" configuration. This configuration is connected to Preference/pbs.plist whi...
Thanks AmberV. I will try your suggestion and remove the sync for now to see if it goes away. I realise this isn't a Scriv-specific question, but thought it worth seeing if anyone was having similar probs. I did post on the Apple forum, and aside from some advice about deleting this or that folder ...
Fantastic news! And thank you for investigating and finding the root cause. And that makes perfect sense - I wish I'd thought of it. Given that it's a system preferences file for the current user account, no doubt some of Scrivener's window set-up was accessing it by virtue of certain AppKit framew...
