Just a note: “Define” doesn’t appear in the editor context menu, just the main toolbar and Tools>Writing Tools.
“Define” appears in the context menu only when a definition is available for the selected word.
Except that I can highlight a word and click the Define button that I’ve placed in the toolbar and a definition pops up, but Define doesn’t appear for the same exact word when I right click.
Mmmm, I see, it’s not working right with a text selection. You’ll see it in the context menu if you just leave the insertion point in or next to the word and then right-click. That must’ve been a slip later in the process, because I know it was working earlier. Whoops.
Initial experience of using it on a Mac via Crossover:
-
For the first time ever, I had to turn off my antivirus software (ClamXav) to install. I have no idea if that is the result of a more recent version of ClamXav, OS-X 10.9.4, or changes within WinScriv.
-
Having turned off ClamXav, it installed without hitch and more quickly. It also installed in a win7 “bottle”, which 1.6.x didn’t, and seems to run as well in that as in a winxp bottle. The interface looks the same as under XP, though — not that that is a problem.
-
Although I haven’t used it for any editing, yet, I did notice that inspector comments in an existing project, intially showed on opening but for some reason in "Avenir Next Condensed Demi Bold Italic”, which is ghastly and unreadable. I cannot change that, as any attempt to do so moves focus back to the editor and all the comments disappear from the inspector, and I can’t find a way to bring them back. They still show as “tooltip” type pop-ups if the mouse cursor is placed over the comment highlight in the editor. I am perfectly willing to believe that this may be an artefact of running under Crossover; it happens in both the winxp bottle and the win7 bottle.
I know I am perhaps a special use case, though there are those running it under WINE in Linux, so I merely post this as information — I don’t know where else to post it as, correctly, there is no WINE thread.

Edited once to correct typos
Do you possibly have a list, which items changed in the translation?
(May be, I have to update some screenshots in my book)
Thanks, Keith, Lee and ScrivTeam for the many great improvements this year in the 1.x release.

I’ve said this before–here and on the FB page–but I like to repeat it every so often: Scrivener is absolutely brilliant, hands-down my favourite piece of software. The team behind it are equally fantastic, and so are the folks who use Scriv’, if the forums are any indication.
MANY, MANY THANKS. 
Thanks for the kind words!
No, sorry. The translations are done by fabulous volunteers, and I don’t know exactly which strings were updated. Mostly I believe it was just the new and changed text from 1.6.1 which wasn’t all updated for the initial 1.7 release.
I suspect I may need to give up my fabulous status as I’ve still not updated the SciFi one. Version 1.7 had a lot of new features all of which needed new text, and also changed the structure of the existing translation files substantially. As a result, some of us (cough, me) have lagged in getting this done. Sorry. 
Check the release notes for 1.7 and that will give you the best indicator of what will have been updated.
Hey. Just discovered this. Thank you. And congrats on the latest update!
I’m not sure I understand what this one means.
When it says “changes since the last save,” does that refer to the ongoing auto saves that Scriv does, or to a manual Ctrl-S saves? Both?
Did it require exiting and leaving the project and/or Scrivener to get the File > Backup > [Etc] options to pick up those changes (which, upon reopening, were no longer “changes” per se, but rather just part of the now-current project?
Thanks!
Manual save and auto-save are the same operation, so this means changes since either. Auto-save runs as part of closing the project, so backups made during that procedure weren’t affected by the bug. Likewise, if you used the option to create a backup when performing a manual save, those backups saved all changes. It was only when running either “Back Up Now” or “Back Up To…” after making edits but without saving or leaving enough time for the auto-save to run that those edits could be missing from the backup copy.
Ah, I see. Interesting. I appreciate the explanation.
The addition of define and especially synonym is most welcome! Just one thing – at first I couldn’t find it because I was highlighting the word and then right clicking – if you do this, these are not in the context menu. This is how I usually do it in Word, so I was confused at first.
Yes, we’re aware of the bug with that, and it will be fixed with the next update so the “Define” option appears for selected text. Glad you’re enjoying it otherwise!
I downloaded a trial copy of the scrivener for windows, but I have already paid for one, except I lost the key. Please help. thanks.
