1) It seems that from another post, larger files are more quickly handled than smaller? (The file open/close operations are mostly an issue for indexing, not actual searching?) 2) Does the depth of severally-branched branches from the trunk of the tree (thrice or more) have a relatively negative imp...

Thx Ioa,

I'll look into that; I knew the functionality was there with my Logitech, but having not used it, it hadn't clicked.
(Yes, as on web pages.)

What am I missing? I changed in Options the font family for my sidebar Comments (to Baskerville); the Scrivener document involved exported to a docx with the Comment font as expected. I then changed the individual background color (to yellow) and font family (Arial/12) of a Comment, but it still exp...

Ma ... Thank you for your reply. :D It occurred to me not long after I SUBMITted my post -- esprit d'escalier -- between that and your replying ... The backup software I use (Syncback) has the ability to MIRROR the contents of one folder/drive/whatever to another. (By 'mirror', it means obliterate w...

When I use File>Export>Files... 'd the combination of folders/documents and their sub-documents produced some (relatively) few stranded documents, their paths too large (+260 bytes) to be copied, moved, backed up. After the usual treatments -- shortening parent directory/folder names; deleting the d...

Version 1.9.8 seems to have 'fixed' all varieties of my shutdowns, ie, crashes. Did it all really boil down to some mysterious font, and to document move difficulties? However, :roll: there are two things seemingly related to the issues addressed by update ... - When I try to move a document via men...

Ever since my first Scrivener (Windows), 1.9.5., from 2016/05/09, I've endured the crashes that I've variously reported: Spontaneous, multiple projects, document moves, Even after multiple uninstalls/installs. :D Version 1.9.8 seems to have 'fixed' all varieties of my shutdowns, ie, crashes. (As not...

Such a mouse click would be of use.

Yup, even if Scriv/And version 0.# is little more than a scratchpad dropping the documents into a designated project's folder.

I take it then that importing a project does not include its Collections? (Perhaps not if there are '37' of them and/or some thousands of links?) Was the loss of 76 files and 28 MBs to be expected? Or were the lost files and MBs related to the lost Collections? (Perhaps their loss was caused by the ...

Scrivener still occasionally shuts down (requiring a ~ 25 minute reindexing? on restart), even sometimes when I'm not using the PC. (On a new PC with plenty of space and speed, and with the usual, "Windows remains stable as do any other open apps".) But more disappointedly, my troublesome ...

Threedogwrite ... This is the first of my threads that I've looked at in most of a year. I'm now using Win10 (pro), new PC. Though I cannot vouch for my instructions, typos/punctuation/error, what I thought I had reported did work for me in Win7. Web searching WINDOWS DATE FORMAT brought up some goo...

Mondays of sorts, 'today', are my day to work on, rather than with, Scrivener. Just a couple of days ago (ie, two), I began getting a dialogue box when Scrivener opened -- usually two projects -- which said that the 'indexes were not fully loaded *, that my first search might be slow, that it might ...

pdalloz, As the OP of 'this thread', https://www.literatureandlatte.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=36060&hilit=search+type#p222851, I agree with you, particularly when the search is for a phrase. I may be wrong but it seems to me that those modern search tools that begin searching early, at ...

Thinking about my current * indexing predicament ^ ... Does it matter how many items and/or 'words' are in individual folders? I ask because for my old writing tool (Info Select [infoselect]), its tech said that its best indexing and resultant searching is done when I used several small folders vs. ...
