Scrivener 2.0... It's here.

Thank you so much for doing this Keith and all the rest of your small team. I tell every writer I meet to buy Scrivener and they always say ‘oh i can’t afford any new software’ and when I tell them the price they look astonished and rush off to buy it. When I go on to tell them that you keep the price down so that writers can buy it some almost become emotional… Because there is no doubt in my mind that Scrivener is worth hundreds of dollars … and there is also no doubt in my mind that you are providing a wonderful tool for writers in the most selfless and ethical manner - which is kinda amazing in today’s modern world, don’t you think?

Three cheers (or more) for Keith, Ioa, and whoever else helped with 2.0! Congratulations! Go drink a few beers on me!

Congratulations, all! My 2.0 update is downloading at the moment, and I’ve just toured the new site. It looks fabulous–great work with that as well as with, of course, the program itself. Also I have to say, I love the swanky new Lit&Latte logos. I feel so posh using your program. ;0)

Ooh, download’s finished, 'scuse me…!

:slight_smile: Thanks, MM!

Posh. Marvellous.

This is great! Congratulations to all the L&L team. (And I really think, Keith, you should take a day off before you start on 2.01. Savour the moment. You’ve earned it.)

cheers
William

Edit - you should ALL take a day off!

Congratulations. The program is phenomenal. I used 1.x quite a lot, but found myself switching between it and Movie Magic (and occasionally OmniOutliner) pretty often. None had all the capabilities I wanted.

I’ve been using the NanoWrimo demo, and I just bought 2.0. And now I actually can’t imagine using anything else, except for final formatting and printing. If I’d made a wish list last month, with everything I wanted 2.0 to do, today’s product would have exceeded it.

Great job! I wish you massive success.

Just upgraded. Everything went really smoothly, and congratulations to the L&L team. Great job and I’m looking forward to writing in Scrivener 2.

Keith,

Congratulations on releasing Scrivener 2.0!! A brilliant writing program made even better.

Your vision, expertise and determination to get this delivered - and the best it could be - are amazing. Mostly though, I admire your passion and your willingness to evolve Scrivener with input from your user community.

Thank you - congratulations again and enjoy your achievement.

Warm regards from Australia, Andrew.

Yeah, getting the internal server errors again. No surprise there, given there must be LOTS of activity on the Scrivener site(s) today. Just got a gander at the new web site et al. WOW. Before anyone complains about all the changes, let me say I love change and I LOVE the new site, blog, forum appearance. Beautiful job!!!

I also took a peek at the video tutorials. I really wanted to see videos of you, Keith, and Ioa and the gang. LOL. But I guess I’ll have to settle for video of Scrivener. I can see there is a lot that I am missing. I haven’t had the need for so much exploration and have some things I’ve had to get done. But I’m also quite sure I don’t even KNOW that I need some things I’ll be discovering soon. In other words, I know I’ll find more to love about Scrivener.

Off to explore more and see all the new cool stuff. Scrivener has come quite a ways since Scrivener Gold, which was a very cool little program, btw! It has been a genuine pleasure to see Scrivener grow over the years into such an elegant and robust writing program. Even more of a pleasure to USE it!!

YIPPEE!!!
I just upgraded. I have my receipt and I have NO idea what to do now. Do I open my old Scriv and then do something? Will it upgrade automatically? I really am clueless and my mind has been clouded with shock over my crazy family situation recently. Could some kind soul do a step 1,2,3 for us establshed Scrivenites about how to get this up and running? I don’t even think I’ve opened Scriv in weeks. And Jaysen, please stop cackling.

Thank you for the wonderful NanoTrial. I love the template you devised for Nano 2010. At first, I hesitated to try to use 2.0, but the template makes everything so easy. I know I’ll be purchasing the upgrade.

Hi Keith and all,

I just purchased the upgrade and it did not install. I tried to install it several times and it said I had outworn installment possibilites, or something like that. I logged off and all my files have vanished.
Everything I love that I have written is on the old Scrivener, I am slightly definitely terrified. please help.
how do i find what appears to have vanished? most important. how do i make work the new Scrivener version I just purchased? Scrivener is the best and I am needing help asap. thank you, laurel

Oh, we’re around. You just have to poke at things a little bit. :wink:

Nice to see you around again.

“how do i find what appears to have vanished?”

I can’t answer your other questions, but if you go to Spotlight and search for “.scriv” (without the quotation marks, of course), you should be able to locate all your previously saved files.

  1. Download it from here: scrivener.s3.amazonaws.com/Scrivener.dmg
  2. Install it in the usual way (double click to mount and open the DMG file, drag Scriv to Applications)
  3. Run it, enter your sparkling new credentials, sit back and feel all warm inside

Good to see you smiling :wink:

I can’t recall ever before being this excited about the release of a software program. Scrivener is a pleasure to work with and I have already been pleasantly surprised, several times, at the cleverness and utility of new 2.0 features.

I was happy to pay for the upgrade (how much more I would have been willing to pay is a thought that makes me feel quite financially irresponsible) and I hope that the new attention this version is sure to bring to the program does not overwork the Scrivener team.

It was a pleasure to upgrade to version 2 today. Well done Keith and the team.

Sooo ‘me too’ of me, but just wanted to say upgrading was a snitch and I like the new version.
Well done all. Rock on.
Cheers, Peter

Interesting problem when trying to buy the upgrade. I got this message: ‘Literature & Latte does not sell Scrivener 2.0 for Mac OS X (Regular Licence) to your country’. Working in one of the Axis of Evil member states, Syria, I’m obviously a victim of the American sanctions. I solved it by using my ‘Great Firewall of China is Turned into a Paper Tiger’ software which was designed to defeat censorship. Of course, Literature & Latte should really think about using an alternative to Esellerate as this prohibition will strongly affect their sales in North Korea and Sudan:-)

I just downloaded and installed it on my Mac without bothering to try it first, because I know I’ll love it.
I chose to install over version 1.x. When I opened Scriv2 it updated my existing files.
Everything works perfectly.
Must go to sleep, but tomorrow I plan to watch the videos and enjoy your creation.
Thanks for all your hard work!
