What is "Text editor layouts?"

[AmberV]

I think that means the page view, where you flip from page to page as you write, like many word processors do.

[Metonymy]

None of the above. I want label color swatches in the Binder. Please see this thread:

As I understand from AmberV's comments in that thread, this is not a Mac 2.0 feature, but was implemented on the Mac before 2.0. Sure it's not a flashy, back-of-the-box marketing feature, but it sure would help me organize my writing and allow me to see at a glance where I need to focus my attention.

[SP1]

I voted. Truthfully, I don't know what several of those options are (yet).

[BwanaBob]

I voted for full screen color customization but what I really want is to be able to set background color and text color in the regular editor - not full screen.

[JasmineG]

Definitely .mobi and .epub files. I would die of happiness.

Like Metonymy, none of the above, at least not at the moment. Two other things would make life easier for me:

1. Return to same position on a document after having selected and viewed other docs in the binder. For example, if I edit file10, then I go and check something in file6 and file7, then come back to file10, I'm always returned to the top of the page, not to where I was last editing. I then have to find my place again.

2. When I do a search I get a list of items in the results. I can edit text of course but sometimes I want to find where the document is located in the binder, perhaps to move it. Sometimes I can't locate it, as I often have a lot of documents in folders. Is there any way of telling from the search results where a document is located in the binder? I haven't worked it out if there is.

Re #2 I haven't found a way to do this for search results as 'reveal in binder' does not appear to be available. I'll keep looking.

Unless I'm misunderstanding you, I think this does work.

1 - With a collection showing, select a document
2 - Select View/Reveal in Binder
3 - Select the Binder tab in collections
4 - The selected document is showing.

Is that what you were after?

Yes. Thank you for that information.

[andygrunt]

Also just noticed you can select multiple documents and they're all selected by 'Reveal in binder'

I'm for this, too. I voted for the nearest thing, which was icons in the binder.

Thanks andygrunt! Problem solved. I felt sure there must be a way, but I was fixated on a right click option or some other key method rather than the obvious of looking under View!

Scrivener continues to reveal more and more great functionality the more I use it.
