Thank you, Keith, I thought we had to live with it. When I first moved to Scrivener, I found this very disturbing as well. My workflow demands that I use 10, 11, and 12pt font sizes, which means that I usually work at 150% and therefore look at bad kerning for most of my day. It is almost as if kern...

As for kMDItemFinderComment, it does look as though this may be available via some Carbon methods - I'll have a play at some point, but only post-2.0 - no time at the moment! (It would be of limited use to most users anyway, I imagine.) looking for something else, I found this: http://developer.app...

Oh, this has been driving me nuts! The problem occurs with all the excellent Adobe OTF fonts that come with cuts/typefaces for different font sizes. Robert Slimbach's Arno Pro has the same issue, for example. The problem is that the different cuts are ordered according to their intended sizes: capti...

There is no Cocoa command for this - I just did a quick dev search and other developers have to call on AppleScript to add Spotlight comments to files. Likewise there is no Cocoa access for reading the Spotlight comments of files. This is interesting and somehow baffling, given that comments are ex...

I do not cocoa but I do applescript...

just a tiny detail: when I import an entire folder of RTF files via the Import >> Files… command to the Draft-folder, Scrivener also imports the invisible .DS_Store file.
(This does not happen when I import a folder of images to the Research-folder in the Binder)

An option in the Scrivener preferences to copy a file's spotlight comments either to the synopsis or the document notes in Scrivener on import (drag-and-drop and import command) would make life a lot easier for me. Usage scenarios are abundant. One is better integration with DevonThink. DevonThink's...

This is very, very helpful! Thank you, Keith.

The way I use Scrivener demands that I manually synchronise the titles of the documents in the binder with the typed titles (chapters, subchapters) in the documents themselves. I find myself frequently repeating the following action: select the first line of a scrivener document, right-click, and cl...

so, how is your workflow for getting images that are placed on scrivener-pages into indesign? am i missing anything here, or am i really supposed to re-add all the images to indesign after i exported my compiled draft from scrivener without any images? that would really cost me like 3 days -_- than...

Wow, Keith – this is indeed a thorough analysis. Before reporting the problem to Adobe: which version of ID were you running your tests with?

I did some more testing and found that some sparse exif-data is indeed preserved throughout the Scrivener-Word-Indesign pipeline, including a timestamp called "Create Date" or "Date/Time Original". This could be used to match the embedded image with its original again (within th...

Unfortunately, neither the name of the image nor any other metadata is kept, as far as I see. So, for me its only half the rent as I still do not see a way to replace the images with high-quality Tiffs or JPGs automatically via a script. But maybe there is a solution I just do not see yet. I would ...

I don't know if this should be called a bug or rather a feature request. Anyway, for the records, in this thread, http://www.literatureandlatte.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=7898&start=15, we encountered the following problem: Images in exported RTFs do work in MS Word; however they are ign...

Above that, InDesign does not support images in its RTF import, as far as I remember Hm, I spoke too soon. Acutally, InDesign CS4 does have an option in its RTF import dialog called "Import Inline Graphics" (you need to tick the checkbox "show import options" in the "Place&...
