I particularly like the clarity of representation for the synch options, allowing a choice of updating the Aeon event or Scrivener document and making the direction of the current selection perfectly obvious.
One question, though. I have tried specifying an Aeon date and end date for a Scrivener document which has no corresponding Aeon timeline event, and then synching with "New event". I expected Aeon to create a new event with the dates specified in Scrivener. However, I am getting odd results. Sometimes the dates in the Scrivener meta-data are replaced with the start date of the timeline -- not just in the Aeon event, but also in the Scrivener document. Likewise, if I synch an existing event for which I have changed Scrivener metadata, and I use "Update event" in the hope of transferring the Scrivener fields into Aeon, the dates remain unchanged.
I *think* this may happen when I don't use the same date format in the two applications, but I have been fiddling with it for so long now that my eyes have gone squinty and I can't see the wood for the treesAs far as I can tell, if I correctly enter the full long date then the event/document synch is performed as expected. But that involves asking Wolfram Alpha to tell me what day of the week a particular date fell on so that I can put the long date into the Scrivener meta-data, so it's not very convenient.
Do we have to use the exact date format, or can Aeon accept short dates from Scrivener meta-data even if a long date is the Aeon default? And would it be possible to display a warning message if the date formats don't correspond (or if there are other validation mismatches of any sort), to give the user a chance to sort it out and prevent accidental overwriting of meta-data?

I'm pretty sure I chose "skip" and not "ignore" on the ones it didn't transfer, but I could be wrong. It was a whole week or so ago, and that's a long time to remember which button you pressed.

Hi,
We have already worked with the people from Scrivener to get Aeon Timeline working with Scrivener 3, so there is no reason to delay upgrading from our perspective. The same with High Sierra, the current version should work.

All I can tell you is that I
1. Launched my timeline in Aeon that had been synced to the Scriv 2 version of my project.
2. Selected the Scriv 3 version of my project via Sync > Scrivener... and then choosing the new version
3. Saw that all my events had yellow exclamation points next to them, and
4. Clicked the sync button at the top of the synced events pane,
It just worked.
