![]() My trash folder was soon full of useless folders like this. I also found that I was unintentionally creating folders by hitting the key. (Maybe you have that but I did not find it.)Īnother suggestion I have (that you may already have but I did not get far enough along to look for) is to have a packaging feature where the text get merged into a single file (word format) and gets stored in a zip archive will all the figures that are actually used.Īnother suggestion is the ability to determine if a figure has been used twice or find figures that have not been used at all. In regard to performance, I suggest having a display mode that simplifies illustrations to speed things up. I also note that the file dialog for linking files cannot be dragged which was a PITA. I can’t believe I am the first to run into this. I have to say that “feature” is a real head scratcher because it totally destroys all the organizational functionality built in to the application and would be so easy to fix. If I didĪll the organization the Scrivener does for the figures vanishes and I get a massive menu list of hundreds of images. ![]() If I linked the image files, performance was slow but could have been acceptable. However, after I included (drag and drop) just a few illustrations into my document, Scrivener ground to a halt with a constant beach ball. The ability to do that and be able to combine them was great. I could bring my figures into the Scrivener and organize them-but I could not get them to function within my text. However, the inability to incorporate the figures into a document was the killer for me. It was great (or would have been great) to be able to organize all the files that make up the document. I it was not clear to me what created a “P” style or a “PA” style. I found that I had to apply a “PA” style to text then change it to my “P” style. I could see that some of my paragraph styles had “P” and some had “PA” and that when I applied the “P” style not everything got updated. The combination of character and paragraph styles in one is a bad practice. I know that’s the way Pages does it, but it sucks. Having to format text then create the style the text is a pain. My expectation is that one should be able to sit down and define styles and have kind of inheritance so that I can change a master style and have the attributes that have not been overriden change as well. I only used a small subset of the product but I will critique what I used. While, I think you have a good product and it is close to what I need, I found that it fell short for my needs. I spent the day trying out Scrivener in which I took one chapter and did it in your product. It has been extremely difficult to manage writing the book because of all of the components that go into it. ![]() I have been working on a large non-fiction book with many photographs. ![]()
