Funny. I never knew such an option was there.

Scrivener opens every file exactly at the position where you've left it. Automagically

But why should you do that? If the answer happens to be "I don't want the acts to appear in my final file", this can easily be done by clicking them off in the compile stage; no deleting necessary.

The good news is that all versions of the OpenOffice-project deal with these file formats easily (and for free). So, you don't have to buy Microsoft Word (AFAIK, it can't be bought anymore anyway, you have to rent it now?), just download OpenOffice or LibreOffice, and you're done. No, you still ver...

In the publishing industry, there is almost no way around Microsoft Word. It's part of the production process. That all depends on which publishers you work with. "The publishing industry" is large and varied, not some monolithic entity, and nowadays it includes self-publishing (aka publi...

Amen. That's why I'll cling to my old iMac running 10.6 as long as possible.

Using a Scrivener project as a catch-it-all for ideas should be the easiest thing in the world: You create a new document for every idea, be it one sentence or a long text – and after that, you can add a label, a status, an icon, keywords ad lib; you can move the items around, sort them by date or w...

BTW, people were already writing bestselling novels with previous versions of Scrivener for Mac that had fewer features than Scrivener for Windows today. Software features are overrated.

I'd like to adjust it to something like "in order to grow something, you need a fertile soil … or a nutrient medium …"

And what's the point in having a clean computer desktop? If you're working on your computer, you won't see it most of the time anyway. But then again, I am no big fan of clean table desktops as well. If I enter a office and see somebody sitting behind a neat, empty table with only one item before hi...

I think I'm at the point where the dock is meaningless other than as a status display for running apps. But some applications are useful to have in the dock even if they're NOT running. I always keep Textwrangler there so that if I want to look into textfiles that are not identified as such, I simp...

CMD ALT DRAG the application icons that you do want to a new folder of links. Then add that folder to your dock and remove the main applications folder (from the dock). This is how I do it, too. I have subfolders for "writing apps", "image processing", "website management&q...

The "state of the art" design of the moment are websites that are designed to look good on tablets. They show a lot of cool, expensive photography, have large fonts – and tell as little as possible about what they're about. Or the product. Most say "Hey, you've come to a cool place - ...

Here, I have the option "lock to grid" activated (looks tidier). Which should not sort the icons, but simply keep them aligned.

Nevertheless, I will give it a try. Next logout will be friday evening for the big weekly backup procedure, and then I'll see
