November 18th, 2011Refinements and Changes:
Custom Meta-Data:
· Moved “Custom Meta-Data” to its own pane in the bottom of the inspector, rather than having it in the same pane as general meta-data, thus giving it more space.
· Custom meta-data is now also available in QuickReference panels and in the Composition Mode inspector.
Comments and Footnotes:
· Inspector comments and footnotes can now be moved simply by dragging them from the inspector into the place in the text you want them placed. (You can also drag them to other texts in a split view, which results in a copy of the comment being made.)
· Project Replace now affects inspector comments and footnotes.
New: Default Subdocument Types:
· Added Documents > Default New Subdocument Type. This allows you to tell individual folders within a project to use a document type from the project’s templates folder by default when adding new documents. For instance, in the novel project template, if you set the “Characters” folder to use the “Character Sketch” document template as its default new subdocument type, every time you clicked “+” when the “Characters” folder had the focus, a new character sketch would be created inside that folder instead of a blank document. (Previously, you would have had to use Project > New From Template every time you wanted to create a character sketch or other template document.) This makes it much easier to use document templates in any special folders that you set up.
Compile:
· Roman numerals can now be used as page numbers using the tags (lowercase) or (uppercase). Used in conjunction with the “First Pages” header, this allows for the creation of documents with Roman numerals used for front matter page numbers and Arabic numerals for the rest. (Note that these tags only work for printing or exporting to PDF.)
· Exported Kindle e-books now have a “start” tag set for the first document after any front matter, so that the Kindle’s Go To > Beginning feature takes you to the first page of the text, skipping any front matter.
· When exporting to e-books, text that uses a Courier, Courier New or Monaco font is now set to use the e-reader’s monospace font.
· Kindle and ePub formats now save unique identifiers separately (in the Compile Meta-Data pane), so that it is possible to set a different ISBN for the two formats and have them remembered without having to manually re-enter them when switching between formats.
· To avoid problems with iBookstore, images inside exported .epub files now have any whitespace stripped from their file names.
· Added an “Advanced Table Options” pane to Compile, which allows adjacent tables to be stitched together. This is primarily intended for use with formats that require a single long table, such as documentary scripts; the options here should be left un-ticked for general use.
· Added “Remove all hyperlinks” option to “Transformations” pane of Compile.
· Added option to preserve the alignment of centred text in Compile > Formatting > Options. This is useful for those using scene breaks within documents who want to override the text formatting on export but preserve the centred scene break markers.
· Front matter in Compile is no longer affected by the filter options. (This behaviour is usually preferable, as front matter should generally be unfiltered, but if you require filtering after all, the old behaviour can be restored using the hidden preference “SCRAllowFrontMatterFiltering” - i.e. type “defaults write com.literatureandlatte.scrivener2 SCRAllowFrontMatterFiltering YES” in Terminal.app.)
· Added option to “Statistics” pane of Compile to exclude any front matter documents from word and character counts included on title pages and suchlike.
· Overriding prefix separators in Scrivener links in Compile is now optional.
· Links to internal web documents now become hyperlinks to the original URL if possible upon Compile or export. (You can turn this behaviour off using the hidden preference “SCRDoNotConvertWebDocLinksToHyperlinks” via the Terminal.)
· During the Compile process, auto-replacements now work for entries in the “Meta-Data” Compile pane.
· Footnotes and comments can now be used in tables without the tables getting broken up on Compile. It is recommended that you don’t try to make footnotes or comments span across multiple table cells, though, as this could give odd results (this should rarely be desirable anyway). The old behaviour - whereby tables would get broken up should footnotes or comments appear within them - can be forced by setting the hidden preference “stripNotesFromTables” via the Terminal.
· Made minor tweaks to “Summary” mode of Compile: it now uses a light grey background instead of bright white, and the “Convert smart quotes, em-dashes…” button has been removed from the e-book pane as it generally isn’t required for e-book formats and made the pane look cluttered (and it is still available via “All Options” if ever needed of course).
· “Page numbers count first page” is now ticked by default in the Compile settings for the Screenplay template and in the “Script or Screenplay” compile format preset.
· Added “NaNoWriMo (Obfuscated)” compile format to the available presets (it’s not included in the list by default - select “Manage Compile Format Presets…” from the “Format As” list in Compile and tick it to make it available for selection).
Media Files:
· Added “New Picture From Camera…” and “New Audio Note…” to project menu, under a “New Media File” submenu. These features allow you to take a picture from an iSight camera or record basic audio and have it imported directly into Scrivener. (Leopard and above only.)
Preferences:
· If the default editor width is set to 0px in the editor preferences, “Use fixed width” is now ignored (and the setting is disabled in the preferences accordingly).
· Added data-detection option to “Editor” pane of the Preferences (for auto-detecting dates, addresses and suchlike).
· Project Targets
· Replaced the “Automatically reset at midnight” session count option for project targets with a pop-up that allows you to decide whether the session word or character count should be reset at midnight, on project close, only after reopening the project on a new day, or never.
VoiceOver:
· Improved VoiceOver support for corkboard, comments and footnotes, and collections.
Additions:
· Added “Remove Table” to Format > Table menu and to editor contextual menu, which just removes table formatting from text (without deleting the text itself).
· Added “New Collection” to the “Add to Collection” menu (note that this is only available for the main window).
· On Lion, you can now drag any file type into the header bar in the editor, resulting in a Quick Look preview.
· Added some more options to the list of available custom icons (flags).
· Added ability to update Scrivener links via the Find by Formatting panel - a new button allows you to update a selected Scrivener link in the editor to use the current title of the linked document.
· Added “Update (Scrivener) Links to Use Target Titles” items to contextual menu and Edit menu. This will replace the text of any Scrivener links in the selection with the titles of the linked documents (maintaining the links, of course).
· Added “Manage Project Notes…” to the bottom of the notes-switching pop-up menus in the inspector.
· Added “Recent” list to Move To and Append Selection To Document menus.
· The five most recently-used icons now appear at the top of the custom icons menu.
· Added “Sort Rows” options to Format > Table menu.
· You can now print snapshots (drag the snapshot into the editor header bar, make sure the editor has the focus, and go to File > Print Current Document).
Minor UI Improvements:
· You can now choose to hide the label and status columns in search results by ctrl-clicking in the search results header.
· The custom icons menu is now a little less cluttered in its arrangement, with some icons appearing in submenus. Users can create submenus in this menu by creating several icons with the same prefix and a different suffix in parentheses - e.g. “Icon (Blue)”, “Icon (Yellow)”.
· When applying formatting presets, “Preserve Formatting” will be removed from text for paragraph styles as well as character styles if not part of the preset.
· The splitter buttons in the header bars now better reflect what will happen when clicked if the Option key is held down still after Option-clicking to change split type.
· Tweaked button graphics in non-HUD-style QuickReference panels.
· The format bar is now more consistent with the toolbar colour in full screen mode when other windows are brought to the front.
· Added some extra tab stops to the default formatting.
· Made some minor tweaks to ensure automatic window resizing when “Zoom” is called takes into account whether the scrollers are overlay style or not in Lion.
· On Lion, added “Look Up…” to the ctrl-click menu in text views, which opens the new popover. “Look Up in Dictionary and Thesaurus” in the Writing Tools menu now opens Dictionary.app, to match previous behaviour.
· Made formatting commands available to comments and footnotes consistent between menus and format bar.
· Rewind-on-pause now rewinds when you start playing again, rather than immediately on pause, so that you can see the paused frame.
· When the outliner is sorted and automatically reshuffles to match changes made externally - e.g. to word counts when sorted by word count - the documents that were selected before the re-sort will now still be selected afterwards, even if they have moved position (previously the selection bar stayed in the same position rather than following the movements of the documents).
· The Scrivener Link > New Link feature no longer automatically switches back to the “Create new link” pane in the panel that appears every time it is invoked.
· On Lion, if using the regular scroller in composition mode, the scroller will now use a light or dark style depending on the paper colour.
· Newly-created documents now use the target type (words or characters) last set.
· Custom columns in the outliner that are set to wrap now use the same font as synopses.
Other:
· Merely opening and closing a project no longer causes its modification date to change.
· Automatic backups on project close should now only be invoked if changes have actually been made to the project.
· Index Card sync can now sync both the notes and text (which are both now supported in Index Card).
· Made some minor amendments to the tutorial to reflect changes made to the menus in 2.1.
· Keyword search now uses exact phrase if only one keyword is selected.
· When an item is deleted from a collection, the next item in the list is now selected.
· Minor optimisations in movie and sound file playback.
· Improved error description for web import failures.
· Added a warning about showing compile footnote numbering in the inspector for projects with over 200MB worth of text in the Draft folder, because processing footnote numbering for display in the inspector can take some time for massive projects.
· Added a new hidden preference, “SCRNeverAutomaticallyRevealInBinder”. If turned on, switching between collections and the binder, using next/previous document and other actions do not cause the binder selection to change. (This can be turned on by typing “defaults write com.literatureandlatte.scrivener2 SCRNeverAutomaticallyRevealInBinder YES” into a Terminal window while Scrivener is closed.)
· Added a new hidden preference, “SCRSuppressFindPanelAutoClose”. If set to YES, the Find panel doesn’t close when you hit return to find next. (To use, open Terminal.app while Scrivener is closed and type: “defaults write com.literatureandlatte.scrivener2 SCRSuppressFindPanelAutoClose YES”.)
Bugs Fixed:
Major (Stability):
· Fixed bug whereby trying to compile directly to PDF (rather than going through Print) would cause a crash on Leopard.
· Fixed bug whereby all of the export commands in File > Export would silently fail on Tiger.
· Fixed bug whereby zero-sized images could cause a hang when exporting to e-book format.
· Fixed bug whereby blank footnotes could cause Compile to hang.
· Fixed a bug whereby switching between layouts in Lion’s full screen mode with the toolbar visible would cause the top of the window to disappear beneath the toolbar.
· Fixed various other bugs related to switching between layouts in Lion’s full screen mode.
· Fixed bug whereby the loading panel would remain on screen indefinitely when adding documents to a scrivenings session in composition mode if “fade between modes” was turned off.
· Fixed bug whereby processing footnote numbering for display in the inspector could run out of memory for extremely large projects.
· Fixed bug whereby removing several documents from a large collection in a sorted outliner could cause excessive CPU usage if the collection was also visible in the binder area.
· Fixed bug whereby Auto-Generate Synopses would throw an exception if used on blank text documents.
Minor (Usability):
· Fixed a bug in several of the Copy As HTML methods that would cause paragraphs to appear several times.
· Fixed bug whereby switching to another application and then returning to Scrivener by clicking on a project window could cause the scriptwriting “Change Element To” menu to stop working (and thus scriptwriting element keyboard shortcuts to stop working).
· Split at Selection with Title now works in the contextual menu when the selection is at the end of the document.
· Fixed bug whereby search results could appear blank if the preferences became corrupted.
· Fixed bug which caused the “Title” and “Author” MultiMarkdown meta-data keys always to move to the bottom of the list in Compile.
· Fixed bug whereby the word and character counts wouldn’t be shown in the footer bar upon first loading a snapshot into the editor.
· Fixed bug whereby the header bar could disappear when switching between horizontal and vertical split types in Lion’s full screen mode.
· Fixed issue whereby QuickReference panels would cause a switch between spaces when using Lion’s full screen mode.
· Fixed issue on Lion whereby the scratch pad would not appear when other applications were in full screen mode on Lion.
· Fixed bug whereby Table > Borders > Remove Top Border and Remove Bottom Border were inverted.
· Fixed bug whereby if “Reset at midnight” wasn’t set for session targets, the session word or character would not be reset on reopening if Scrivener was closed after midnight.
· Fixed minor bug whereby if the first chapter title contained no letters, the title of the table of contents in e-books would end up lowercase.
· Hopefully worked around a Lion bug whereby text dragging can stop working in some circumstances (such as switching between regular and page layout modes, or centring the view).
· Fixed bug whereby importing OPML files could have character entities double-decoded because “&” was previously decoded first - thus “
July 20th, 2011· Lion support, including taking advantage of Lion's new full screen feature and the ability to view unsupported files in Quick Look right in the editor rather than in a separate Quick Look window (the bug whereby Scrivener's regular full screen mode wouldn't work on Lion is also fixed - that mode has been renamed "Composition Mode", too, so as not to conflict with the new Lion terminology).
· A significant overhaul of Compile. To really appreciate the changes here, I recommend creating a project from the updated novel template (regardless of whether or not you are writing a novel) and following the instructions for compiling to different formats. It is now very easy to switch one project between different compile formats - the novel template, for instance, provides everything you need to switch easily and quickly between standard MS format, e-book format, and generating a PDF suitable for self-publishing via CreateSpace.
· Support for MathType - if you have MathType installed, you can now insert equations and double-click on them to edit in MathType.
· Overhauled preferences pane.
· Improvements to the way auto-complete works with scriptwriting.
· OPML export.
· CSV export for the outliner.
· Many outliner improvements.
· A new Notational Velocity-esque synopsis finder.
· The ability to have two lines of text in corkboard titles, and to reduce the font size as needed to squeeze more text in.
· Support for aliases in the binder (for research file types only).
· Much, much more.
February 11th, 2011· Fixed bug whereby the “Move to Selection” menu item in the comments contextual menu was available even if there was no text selection, and choosing it in this circumstance would throw an error.
· Scrivener now provides a default meta-data title for .mobi files if the user doesn’t provide one, so that kindlegen doesn’t refuse to create the file.
· When triple-clicking titles in scrivenings mode, or selecting the entire title line, the separator after the title no longer gets selected.
· Fixed bug whereby scrivening divider lines could appear in the wrong place when changing the preferences.
February 10th, 2011Media:
· PDF images embedded into the text now retain their original quality and no longer get converted to JPG or PNG data internally.
· The playback position of sound and movie media files now gets remembered.
· Web pages, movie and sound files now show the "Open in External Editor" and "Reload" buttons in the footer bar of the main editor.
· The "Zoom In" and "Zoom Out" keyboard shortcuts now work with images.
Full Screen:
· When switching between applications and Scrivener is in full screen mode, Scrivener has now returned to the 1.x behaviour in that full screen will stay open.
· The full screen transparency slider should now be more intelligent about textures. Fading doesn't work with image-based colours, so the slider is now greyed out if both the paper and background use image-based colours. It also now treats an image-based colour background the same as a full screen backdrop image, in that in both these situations the slider will now affect the paper colour (unless the paper colour is image-based too).
Scrivenings:
· Text selection is now remembered in the navigation history for scrivenings.
· When you select the last paragraph of a document in scrivenings mode, Scrivener now tries to ensure that the return character that is part of the separator isn't included in the selection. This ensures that you can delete or edit the paragraph without the uneditable separator preventing you from doing so.
Scriptwriting:
· You can now set the font colour for script elements.
· Hitting tab in the middle of a line in screenplay mode now creates a new line for parentheticals (if the next element is a parenthetical).
Syncing:
· The "sync with external folder" feature will now check for changes and update the external folder on project close if "Check external folder on project open and automatically sync on close" is set.
Contextual Menus:
· Added "Move to Selection" ctrl-click item to inspector comments - select text in the editor, ctrl-click on a comment in the inspector, and then use this option to move the comment to the selected text.
· Restored "Ignore Grammar" to the editor contextual menu.
· Added "Make Link", "Open Link" and so on back to the contextual text menu when Scrivener detects the selection is a URL.
· Added "Add to Collection" to the binder's contextual menu.
Other:
· Import and Split now uses the first line of each new document for document titles rather than the title of the original file.
· Added an indicator to the binder header that shows which editor will be affected by the selection if "Binder Affects" is being used, or if an editor is locked in place and the preferences are set up such that the other editor is affected when the current editor is locked in place. (The indicator is not shown when the binder selection will affect the current editor, or if both editors are locked in place so that neither editor will be affected.)
· URLs entered using Add Link are no longer automatically percent-escaped, which would break links including anchor hash marks.
· You can now drag keywords to the root in the keywords HUD.
· Changed: previously, em-dashes, en-dashes and hyphens were all treated the same by the find routines, so that if you searched for one the others would be returned too. These are all treated separately again now.
Major (Stability):
· Fixed bug that could cause a hang when deleting text across different sections in scrivenings mode.
· Hopefully fixed a bug which could cause a hang and crash when pasting certain text into inspector comments or footnotes.
· Hopefully fixed crash that could occur when trying to import certain web pages.
· The main undo stack now gets cleared when exiting full screen if full screen was displaying scrivenings. This fixes a bug whereby hitting undo after leaving full screen with a scrivenings mode would cause a crash.
· Fixed bug whereby switching views while an index card on the corkboard was still being editor would cause any edits to the synopsis to be lost, and could also lead to a crash during project close.
· Fixed bug whereby projects updated from 1.x that used the default screenplay format no longer recognised the script elements correctly.
· Fixed bugs related to updating 1.x projects that used custom script settings, whereby certain elements may not get recognised and the "Style to" setting would revert to the default. All script elements from 1.x projects should now get updated correctly.
· Fixed bug in scrivenings mode that could cause text to appear in the wrong place when single separators were set and some components had "page break before" set in pages mode.
· Fixed bug which could cause some projects saved in the Windows beta not to open in the Mac version because of an XML inconsistency. (There may be other bugs that cause problems opening Windows projects in the Mac version for now given that at the time of this release, the Windows version is still in beta, but this was specifically a Mac-version bug.)
· If you use "Save As" to save over the current project, Scrivener now falls back on a regular save rather than issuing an alarming message and closing the project.
· Fixed bug whereby Scrivener would spew an error, close and recover a project if trying to save a highlighted PDF file that was imported from a file without the correct permissions.
Minor (Usability):
· Fixed bug with the "highlight current line" feature whereby if the insertion point was right at the end of the line, the next line could be highlighted instead and when this happened the text of the next line would disappear until the selection was changed again.
· Fixed bug in Documents > Sort > Descending which caused documents to get sorted apparently at random rather than in true descending order.
· Fixed bug whereby PDF files in Scrivener's binder couldn't be dragged into the text area.
· Fixed bug whereby including RTF bookmarks in compile could cause problems with certain unicode characters (such as those used in Polish). Such unicode characters are now stripped from RTF bookmark titles.
· Fixed bug with opening the Script Settings panel for 1.x script formats.
· Fixed bug in the "Use current font & paragraph settings" feature in the Script Settings panel whereby it would ignore the font.
· Fixed bug whereby "Use current font & paragraph settings" in Script Settings would reset the current units to inches.
· Fixed bug whereby re-re-capitalising script elements could take a long time, and seem to hang the program if "Undo" was hit afterwards.
· Adding Scrivener links with square brackets now uses loose punctuation so that smart quotes don't interfere with link detection.
· Fixed capitalisation issue that affected editing web links.
· Fixed bug whereby scrivenings title font didn't get reset when clicking on "Defaults" in the preferences panel.
· Fixed problems with using contextual menu in text area in QuickReference panels.
· "Take Snapshot" now works in full screen again.
· Fixed bug where the automatic superscripting of ordinals could cause the font to keep shrinking if you went back and typed a space after the text again.
· Fixed bug whereby keywords would lose their internal ID - and thus would no longer appear correctly in documents to which they had been assigned - when undoing or redoing a drag in the keywords HUD.
· Fixed bug whereby inline annotations and "preserve formatting" could get lost, and internal tags could be seen, upon reopening a project if these attributes had been applied to an image.
· Fixed bug whereby Auto-Generate Synopses would cause internal codes to be included in the generated synopses for text that contained inline annotations and footnotes.
· Fixed bug in "Times 12pt with Bold Folder Titles" compile preset whereby it used Optima font instead of Times.
· Fixed bug in preferences that affected Scrivener running on Tiger or Snow Leopard, whereby enabling smart links did not turn on smart Scrivener links (which should have been, and now is, a separate option).
· Fixed bug whereby smart copy and paste could cause spaces placed around words when pasted to use Helvetica font.
· Fixed minor bug whereby text preceding the first document selected for compile would be included in the compiled document if the compile would otherwise result in a blank document.
· Fixed minor bug whereby Convert to Default Formatting would not update the typing attributes.
· Fixed bug that caused the first page to be laid out in the wrong place when using Right-to-Left text in the page view (unless facing pages mode was selected).
· Fixed bug that could cause an exception to be thrown in the navigation history when documents had been deleted but not cleared properly.
UI:
· Fixed bug that caused scrivening divider lines to be carried across into normal text if you switched to single line separators and back again during a scrivenings session.
· Fixed bug whereby selecting multiple scrivenings and changing the line height would cause the divider lines to disappear.
· Fixed bug whereby line spacing in format bar would incorrectly report the current spacing (e.g. 1.1 for 1.2).
· Fixed bug whereby labels didn't get drawn correctly in HUD panel pop-up buttons on Tiger and Leopard.
· Fixed bug whereby status stamps didn't display properly on index cards with dimensions other than 5x3.
· Fixed bug whereby import alert sheet would not close after trying to import non-text files into the Draft folder.
· Fixed bug whereby ruler would appear in full screen if line numbering was selected in main view even if rulers were turned off.
· Fixed bug whereby converting inline comments or footnotes to inspector comments in footnotes in a scrivenings session would not correctly add the link underline and tooltip to the marked-up text.
· Fixed bug with Simplenote sync, whereby if you cancelled the sync after changing the login details, the next time you went to sync you would be presented with an unmoving progress bar that does nothing.
· Fixed bug whereby the outliner would lose focus when tabbing after editing a synopsis.
November 30th, 2010· Fixed bug introduced in 2.0.1 whereby Scrivener would crash when you selected “Custom” as the Compile format (and in various other situations when using the Compile sheet).
· Changed “Copy without Inline Annotations or Footnotes” to “Copy without Comments and Footnotes”, and fixed bug whereby the links to inspector footnotes and comments would not get stripped when using this option.
· Scriptwriting elements no longer show project auto-complete list items if “Include project auto-complete list” isn’t ticked for the element.
November 2nd, 2010· Improved integration between the corkboard, outliner and editor - It’s now simple to jump between your text, the corkboard and the outliner. Click on a folder and choose to view its contents as index cards on the corkboard, rows on the outliner or combined into one long text in Scrivenings mode, and the next time you click on a folder Scrivener will remember the mode you used last. Switch from Scrivenings mode to corkboard mode, select a card, and switch back to Scrivenings mode again to find the text of the document you selected scrolled into view and ready for editing. Select multiple documents in the binder and see them appear as a combined document in the editor or as cards or rows on the corkboard or outliner. Scrivener’s structural tools are all now just a click—or key-stroke—away.
· Collections - Tracking the evolution of a particular character or idea can prove tricky when a large text is involved. Collections appear as tabs at the top of the binder that allow you to call up and maintain lists of related documents without affecting their position in the main project structure. Experiment with alternative groupings, gather sections that require attention, or build smart collections that run automatic and instant searches whenever they’re viewed.
· Page view mode - Scrivener now has a page view for writers who prefer to see their words on the page as they write—and for screenwriters who rely on the rule of thumb that one script page equals one minute of screen time. You can set the page view to use the printed page size or completely arbitrary dimensions, and there’s a two-up mode for displaying two pages at a time—so it’s up to you whether the pages on-screen look like the product of your printer or emulate the look of leaves in a book.
· Corkboard stacks and freeform mode - The addition of stacks and a freeform mode make Scrivener’s corkboard more adaptable than ever. Select multiple groups in the binder and the contents of each will appear on the corkboard, divided by a horizontal line—like a Scrivenings mode for the corkboard. Choose to view the stacked groups in regular wrap view or as rows or columns. For times when you want to get random ideas down or experiment, the corkboard’s new freeform mode allows you to move cards around freely. And if you still want to use a real-world corkboard too, index cards can now be printed on Avery index card sheets or on regular paper complete with cutting guides.
· Refined outlining with sortable and custom columns - Every writing project is different, but now that you can create custom columns, Scrivener 2.0’s outliner is flexible enough to hold whatever information you need. A click on the header bar allows you to sort the columns—so you could add and sort a date column to view your documents in chronological order, add a “Locations” column to keep track of where the scenes in a novel or script take place, and hide any columns you don’t need. Whatever the demands of your project, Scrivener’s outliner is ready at hand to help you get an overview of the things that count.
· Comments and footnotes in the inspector - Scrivener makes it easy to review your footnotes and comments without the need for scrolling through your document. Comments and footnotes can now be created in the inspector so that they’re available right alongside your text. Click on a comment and the text to which it applies immediately scrolls into view; click the commented words in your document and the inspector appears with the comment or footnote selected and ready for revision. Colour-code comments or collapse notes you want out of the way. And when you export or print your work, you can choose how the footnotes should appear in your finished document and whether the comments should be included or left behind.
QuickReference panels - Need to call up extra material alongside your editor or in full-screen mode? Scrivener’s new QuickReference panels are like an editable and unlimited version of QuickLook, so you can open any number of documents from your project in separate floating windows for reference or editing, without leaving your current work environment.
Compare revisions with snapshots - The improved Snapshots feature is now built into the inspector so that you can view older versions of your document right alongside the current text. Want to see what’s changed? The new “Compare” feature makes finding the differences between revisions as simple as the click of a button.
· Template documents and custom icons - Scrivener won’t tell you how to organise your writing—it bends to the way you work. And now you have even more control over your projects. The new custom icons feature allows you to assign any icon you like to the folders and documents in your project—or just choose from the wide range of icons provided. So not only can fiction writers now add dedicated folders for characters and locations or academics add folders for tables and charts—you can now distinguish them from other folders to find them at a glance. Meanwhile, document templates allow you to create template sheets that can be used as the basis of new documents in your project—making it simple to create stock forms such as character and setting sketch sheets.
Sync with mobile apps - Take your work with you on your iPad or iPhone using Scrivener 2.0’s new synchronisation abilities. Scrivener can now sync with Simplenote, Index Card and apps that use Dropbox such as Notebooks and PlainText. And when you get back to your main computer, just sync again to bring your changes back into your project. You can also share RTF files with collaborators—or just edit work on a computer without Scrivener—and have the changes synced back to your project using the Sync with External Folder feature.
Name generator - For fiction writers—or journalists and other writers who need to come up with pseudonyms to protect the identity of interviewees—Scrivener now has a dedicated name generator. Choose from a range of census-based name lists, set how obscure you want your nomenclature, and let Scrivener generate batches of random names for use in your projects. You can even ask Scrivener to create double-barrelled surnames and, for those in search of a name befitting a superhero, names that alliterate.
Revision mode - In revision mode, wherever you click and type your words will appear in your preferred revision colour. Sounds simple? It is—revision mode makes it easy for your editors or collaborators to see what you’ve changed when you send them your updated document.
Automatic backups - You can now tell Scrivener to back up your projects as zip files whenever they are opened or closed - great for ensuring there’s a recent backup of your project always stashed safely away in Dropbox.
· Take complete control over how your work is exported or printed - Scrivener’s Compile feature has been overhauled, so you can now control everything from how footnotes, headers and footers appear to fine-tuning the formatting of each level of your draft—or keep it simple by choosing from one of Scrivener 2.0’s convenient presets. Benefit from improved Final Draft 8 integration and refined RTF export. Generate a contents table using Scrivener Links that becomes a real table of contents in your RTF file or printed document. And now you can export directly to Kindle or ePub formats, too, for self-publishing or reading on popular e-readers such as the Kindle, Sony Reader or iPad.
March 22nd, 2010Changes:
· Import from WriteRoom.ws has been renamed Import from SimpleText.ws, and the default setting for this feature now downloads from simpletext.ws. You can change it back to writeroom.ws or choose a self-hosted service using the "Options..." button. This change was made because Hog Bay Software have changed the service so that WriteRoom for the iPhone and other Hog Bay apps have moved to simpletext.ws, although writeroom.ws will remain for some time as a read-only service. Users who don't wish to go through Hog Bay's site can also self-host their own text service for syncing their WriteRoom.iPhone texts and from which to download to Scrivener, as SimpleText is open source - see http://simpletextws.appspot.com for details.
· Scrivener 1.54 knows about the new Scrivener 2.0 file format, so will issue a more meaningful message when trying to open Scrivener 2.0 projects than earlier versions (not that Scrivener 2.0 will be available for a few months yet).
Bug Fixes:
· Fixed bug whereby the source link beneath imported web pages always went to literatureandlatte.com.
· Fixed bug whereby footnotes cut get cut short when exporting to some formats.
· Fixed bug whereby some imported web pages would not always open, for instance if they had an anchor in the link.
· Changed "Split Horizontally" keyboard shortcut to opt-cmd-=, so that it no longer conflicts with Format > Font > Bigger.
· Fixed bug whereby text with a foreground colour could change the colour of annotations when the user clicked in an annotation.
· Changed default full screen scroll bar to one that is more in keeping with the current iLife full screens scrollers (this should also fix crashes that were happening on 10.6.2, which were apparently caused by a conflict between 10.6.2 and the old full screen scroller). Thanks to Jesse Grosjean for the code for this new scroll bar.
· Fixed a bug in FDX export where the next element on return would always be set to "Action". (Also fixed some other minor FDX import and export bugs.)
· Fixed the project templates so that the "Files were recovered" error message no longer appears when creating projects from certain templates.
· Miscellaneous minor bug fixes.
September 4th, 2009Changes:
· Files imported from WriteRoom are now selected and revealed in the binder.
· Clipping services have been renamed to include the application name so that they are more easily identified on Snow Leopard (note that because services are cached you may not see any changes until you restart your computer).
Bugs Fixed:
· Fixed bug whereby override colour wasn't working in full screen (this was fixed in 1.52 a day after it was released, so only those who downloaded 1.52 early will see this bug).
· Updated internal eSellerate engine which should hopefully fix eSellerate-related activation crashes on Snow Leopard and solve the activation issues some users have been having. Please contact support@literatureandlatte.com and CC support@esellerate.net if you continue to experience activation problems after this update.
· Scrivener 1.52 added some extra project file checks upon opening projects, in order to ensure there were no stray files within the project and to recover them if necessary. Unfortunately this code was not optimised and could cause massive slowdowns upon opening projects containing hundreds of documents, to the extent that the system would seem to freeze. This has been fixed and all projects should now open quickly again.
· Fixed bug whereby the activation panel could cause two Help menus to appear within Scrivener until Scrivener was restarted.
· Fixed bug on Snow Leopard in which the cmd-C keyboard shortcut would not work for the "Copy" command in scriptwriting mode.
August 27th, 2009New Features:
· Added "Import from WriteRoom.ws" functionality. This allows you to write in WriteRoom for the iPhone, and then import any documents that have been synced with writeroom.ws directly into Scrivener.
Bugs Fixed:
· Fixed Ghost Notes mode so that it works properly again.
· Changed encoding of exported FCF files to Mac OS Roman (previously it used UTF8) - this means that accented characters now get exported correctly.
· "Print footnotes" in page layout previously had opposite effect - fixed for this version.
· A bug in Word 2008 means that the alignment of some RTF or DOC files created using the OS X text system (or other RTF generators) appears off, with left-justified text appearing almost justified. Scrivener now adds the relevant controls to the RTF file to work around this Word bug.
· Fixed an RTF bug that could cause header to appear in the wrong place in the novel template when exporting to RTF or Word. (Thanks to Linda Dunn for helping me find both RTF bugs.)
· On Snow Leopard, text files must have an extension in order to be imported - on 10.6 Scrivener can no longer allow the selection of files without an extension owing to a bug in the Snow Leopard open panel.
· .md, .mmd, .markdown and .tex files are now recognised as plain text files.
· Removed close button from "Take Snapshot with Title" panel - previously the panel could be closed without pressing "Cancel", which would leave the application in a modal, unresponsive state.
· Fixed project assistant so that text fields resize with window.
· Improved undo of auto-capitalisation so that it does not affect the selection.
April 30th, 2009New Features:
· Scrivener supports Final Draft 8’s FDX format, which is now Final Draft’s default file format. This is by far the best way of transferring scripts between Scrivener and Final Draft.
Bugs Fixed:
· Underlining bug in full screen: in certain circumstances underlines and strike throughs in full screen would not respect the full screen font colour.
· Highlight bug: when creating a new document after using arbitrary highlight, text typed into the new document would be highlighted too.
· Crash on close Tiger bug: certain projects would crash when closed on Tiger.
· Fixed bug whereby if preferences had straight quotes set for typographer's quotes Compile Draft would crash if "Straighten Typographer's Quotes" was selected.
· Fixed bug where edits to items in corkboard or outliner would not be saved if the project was closed while an item was being edited.
· Fixed bug whereby dragging list of keywords from document keywords list to editor would create a list of the first keyword repeated over and over again.
· Trial period less uninentionally generous. Previously, the trial gave 30 x 24 hours of use, which meant at a few hours a day it could last for months. Now it should hopefully only last thirty non-consecutive days (thirty days of actual use) as intended!
March 2nd, 2009· Fixed a bug whereby paste events were not accepted from Bookends if it was the very first time you had opened Scrivener and you had chosen to view the tutorial from the first run panel.
· When selecting Help > Tutorial, you are now prompted to save a copy of the tutorial to a location of your choosing regardless of whether you have write permissions. This should prevent problems with multiple accounts on the same computer, and also make it easier to reset the tutorial to a "vanilla" copy without having to reinstall Scrivener.
· Scrivener once more has a start panel, based on the ones in iLife. The panel will only appear if you have no projects open, so it should be unnoticeable until it is needed. Hopefully this will reduce the number of support e-mails I have to answer explaining that Scrivener has not failed to launch, it is just that there is no window until you create a new project...
· You no longer need to hold down Control or Option whilst clicking on Save to force the search strings and QuickLook data to get saved. Just doing a manual save will now save this data automatically. It is not saved during auto-saves, though, for speed reasons. It is saved when the project is closed regardless, and if the project closed improperly (e.g. because of a crash), the search strings are rebuilt and restored when the project is reopened. This means that manual saves will be a little slower than auto-saves, but that should be fine.
· Renamed "Take Snapshots of Selection" to "Take Snapshots of Selected Documents" and "Take Snapshots of All" to "Take Snapshots of All Text Documents" for clarity.
· The .scriv extension no longer appears in the project title bar (above the toolbar).
· Auto-generate synopsis now accepts multiple selections (that is, if you select several ranges of text and then click on Auto-generate synopsis, the synopsis will be populated with all of the selected text, each range separated by a newline).
· Version number is now displayed correctly when using Get Info on Scrivener in the Finder.
· Renamed "Open/Close Primary/Secondary" quotes in Typography preferences to "Open/Close" and "Open Alternative/Close Alternative" - hopefully this should avoid confusion (and pedantry!).
· Smart copy and paste (Tiger & Leopard) and smart links (Leopard only) are now optional, via the Text Editing pane of the preferences.
· Fixed bug whereby doing a keyword search from full screen would return to the main window with no results and nothing entered into the search field in the toolbar.
· Tweak to way licence info is found to aid businesses and academic institutions which require all users of one machine to be registered without having to enter registration details for each user. As a side-effect, this now means that deleting your preferences file will not necessarily delete your registration info.
· Added toolbar icons for Take Snapshot, Take Snapshot with Title, and Show Snapshots
· Improved the way QuickLook and CoverFlow preview information is stored (Leopard). A synopsis is now generated for blank items in CoverFlow previews. The contents of the Draft folder only is displayed if possible, but now if there isn't enough in the Draft folder, the first ten items of the whole binder (excepting special folders) are displayed.
· Move left/right/up/down now works even if the field editor has the focus.
· Improved start panel logic.
· Fixed serious bug whereby trying to backup a project over the top of the current, open project would delete the project entirely.
· The start panel is now optional and can be turned off via General preferences.
· When the import of a web page fails, Scrivener now gives a (hopefully) more useful message, recommending the user to try saving the web page as a .webarchive from Safari and importing that way.
· If attempting to merge more than 5 documents, a warning is now displayed informing the user that the action cannot be undone.
· Fixed bug whereby Scrivener links did not survive copying and pasting. (Scrivener now uses the same custom pasteboard type for copied text containing links as it does for text containing footnotes or annotations - note that this means that pasting text containing links into a table can cause odd results because of certain pasting override limitations with the text system.)
· Added Persian (modern) to Typography preferences.
· Added support for compiling draft to .docx or .odt format.
· Updated registration panel so that the text now matches that received in confirmation e-mails (i.e. "serial number name" and "serial number" instead of "user name" and "registration code", which apparently befuddled some people).
· You no longer have to hit return after changing the project or session target.
· Added "space" item to "customize toolbar".
· Fixed security hole in 1.12 beta 1 licence registration.
· Fixed bug whereby slashes were not getting replaced with underscores in default date extension to the project title created by Backup To...
· Snapshots panel now uses text background colour set in Preferences.
· Preferences no longer allow negative values in fields such as editor width or margins.
· Added "Unregister" button to registration panel for customers who need to enter corrected details.
· Improved Backup To... so that the backup project will not try to synchronise search strings when it is launched.
· Fixed bug whereby synchronising search strings on large projects could eat up so much memory that the Scrivener would hang.
· Added message explaining why synchronise search strings panel appears and giving the user the chance not to open the project at all in case they are opening a project that is also open on another networked machine.
· Media background preference can now be set to any colour rather than just a shade of grey - uses Pages background colour by default. Also renamed to "Editor background".
· Added preference for invisibles colour.
· Updated "Purchase" menu item (and "Buy" in trial panel) to point towards store with educational licence option.
· Added ability to import OPML documents (a single OPML document will be imported as several documents, retaining the hierarchical structure of the outliner).
· Added ability to import and export to Final Draft File Converter format (FCF). This is now by far the best way of getting files in and out of Final Draft, and should make exchanging scripts between the two programs much easier.
· Added "Total Words" and "Total Characters" columns to outliner - these show the accumulated statistics; that is, the "Total Words" of a folder will show the total word count for the folder and all of its descendants.
February 2nd, 2009· Should hopefully finally fix the highlighting issues.
· Brings back the layouts toolbar icon.
· Fixes an ongoing problem with inserting characters from the transliteration palette in Edit Scrivenings mode.
January 27th, 2009· Fixes more issues with highlighting and a bug with Compile Draft.
January 23rd, 2009· Fixes a couple of bugs with arbitrary highlighting.
January 22nd, 2009· Should fix problems with opening some projects - a bug to do with project notes.
January 19th, 2009· Should fix the crashing problems when closing a project in Tiger and also fix problems with OPML import.
January 19th, 2009· Got rid of non-contiguous layout used by text view on Leopard, as this may have been responsible for certain text colour drawing problems in full screen.
· Fixed bug whereby auto-numbering upon Compile Draft in a project containing hundreds of auto-number tags could consume so much memory that there would be none left and Scrivener would hang - and the computer would freeze.
· Added bold, italic and underline buttons to the ruler for the main editors.
· Added toolbar icon for tables.
· You can now apply arbitrary highlight colours by selecting Arbitrary from the highlight menu. This will bring up the colour picker panel. You can also select to search for all highlight colours in the Highlight panel. You cannot assign names to arbitrary colours, though - only the five original colours have that ability.
· Script mode is now saved per-document rather than per-pane.
· When registering after entering a serial number, any whitespace accidentally copied in around that serial number is now trimmed away automatically. This should prevent confusion for new users who find that their serial numbers have not been recognised because they have inadvertently copied in whitespace with the serial number.
· Renamed General Text Attributes in Text Editing preferences to Default Main Text Attributes for clarity.
· After doing a project search, a normal text find will now search for the project search term afterwards even if you don't call up the find panel (previously, the project search term only got loaded into a normal find if the find panel was displayed).
January 19th, 2009· Script formatting now ignores underlines when recognising elements. This means that, for an underlined element, you can turn the underline off (just as you can the bold or italic) and still have it be recognised as the correct script element. This is useful for script formats such as BBC drama.
· Updated to use the new eSellerate SDK (which handles serial numbers etc) - this should fix an old bug where the framework could often appear in the user's Trash folder.
· On Leopard, the text system now uses "non-contiguous" layout, which should speed up the loading and display of long text documents.
· Edited "Letterbox Mode" option to full screen preferences. This allows you to set the height of the text view in full screen mode so that you could, if you wanted, view only a few lines at a time.
· Fixed bug whereby duplicating items did not always clear the undo stack. In this situation, if you hit undo, the underlying file wouldn't be deleted from disk, meaning that when you added a new document, you could find that it had the text of an existing document that had previously been duplicated and undone.
· Fixed bug whereby selecting to exclude annotations or footnotes in project statistics would actually have the opposite effect for the Draft section.
· Scene separator settings in Compile Draft are now respected even if you have not set the formatting to be overridden.
· Fixed bug whereby merging documents would cause an increase in the word or character count of the session target.
· Fixed Leopard bug whereby setting cursor to non-blinking could cause cursor to disappear when backspacing. (This was caused by allowing non-contiguous layout on Leopard, which makes layout faster; to get around it, non-contiguous layout is now only set if the blinking cursor is allowed.)
· Fixed bug in Leopard whereby adding an arrow (using smart symbols) at the end of a text document would cause an out of bounds error on the console. This was caused by a clash with Leopard's internal smart quotes. Smart quotes are handled by Scrivener anyway. The Smart quotes option has also been removed from the Substitutions ctrl-click menu, as this had no effect (in Scrivener, smart quotes are set via Preferences).
· Fixed bug introduced in 1.10 whereby Scrivener would crash if you tried to convert a web page to a text document.
· When converting a web page to a text document, if there was an original URL associated with the web document, the URL will now become a document reference (previously it was just lost on conversion).
· Likewise, when web pages are imported via File > Import > Web Page or by dragging from your browser's address bar, if "Convert WebArchives to text" is selected in Preferences, the original URL is saved as a document reference.
· Fixed bug that meant the "first run" information panel - which was supposed to be introduced in 1.10 - didn't actually appear.
· Added "Use current font & paragraph" settings option to "Manage..." pop-up button of the script settings panel. This makes it a lot easier to import scripts from other programs and get up and running. Click in an element of a script and select this from the script settings panel to set the paragraph and font settings of the currently selected element to match the formatting paragraph containing the insertion point in the main window. Previously, you had to mess around with rulers and work all of this out for yourself.
· Fixed bug whereby double-clicking on disabled arrow of header bar could collapse split view.
· Minimum size of label column in outliner is now different on Tiger and Leopard as Leopard has less cell padding.
· Removed "Avoid widows and orphans" feature. This has caused crashes in project statistics and printing for months, and everything I've tried to fix this hasn't worked. Standard manuscript format doesn't require widows and orphans avoidance anyway, and if you require widows and orphans support you can always export to a word processor to turn it on (a dedicated word processor is required for more complex typesetting features anyway).
· Fixed bug whereby, upon updating to 1.10, some projects could open as blank windows. This was caused by having a blank word in the project's auto-complete list (Edit > Auto-Complete List).
· Fixed minor bug whereby Binder Affects > would show the wrong orientation (Top Editor/Bottom Editor when there was a vertical split, for instance) for projects that had been updated from 1.03 to 1.10 which had vertical splits set at the time of update.
· Fixed bug whereby tables would not get exported or printed if there was a footnote or annotation anywhere in the document after the table.
· Edited Literature & Latte logo in the About panel for clarity.
· If document targets are set, the target count now appears next to the word or character count in the footer view (and is also visible in full screen in this way). Eg: Words: 122/250 Chars: 655
· Fixed stupid bug whereby building on Leopard caused all the thousands separators (commas) to be lost in Project and Text Statistics.
· In CoverFlow preview on Leopard, the icon now shows the first 10 items in the Draft folder rather than just the first 10 items in the binder. This is more consistent with the QuickLook preview and means that root folders are no longer pointlessly listed.
· Upon copying text now, if there are no annotations or footnotes in the selection, Scrivener just copies using standard RTFD methods. This fixes a bug whereby copying and pasting into tables would mess up the table. Note, however, that if there are annotations or footnotes in the copied text, Scrivener has to use an internal pasteboard format which will still mess up tables when pasted into them.
· Fixed bug in Compile Draft whereby if "Do not indent titles" was selected, titles would be left-aligned regardless of the "Center" settings.
· Changed Compile Draft titles formatting behaviour. Titles font and center formatting is used now even if "Override text formatting" is unchecked. This seems to make more sense - it means that even if you choose for the main text of your documents to use the onscreen formatting, you can customise how titles are formatted.
· Fixed bug whereby using "Split at Selection" on a document that has a hyphen followed by a number in its name (e.g. Doc-0784 Something" would increment the number and cut off the rest of the text (e.g. To "Doc-785"). The increment should only occur to numbers following a hyphen right at the end of the title.
· Fixed bug whereby upon emptying the trash, the internal synopsis text files (inside the .scriv package) did not get deleted. This would mean that whenever you added a new document, it would take on the synopsis of an old, deleted document.
· Updated binderStrings.xml to hold document titles as well as text, notes and synopses. This helps in two ways: 1) It means that Spotlight can now find the titles of documents within a project, and not just the text (the Spotlight importer has been updated accordingly). 2) If a project is corrupted, it makes it possible for Scrivener to retrieve project titles when retrieving the project via Import > Scrivener Project.
· Scratch pad now stays in place in all Spaces on Leopard if "Float" is selected.
· Added Import > Scrivener Project to the File menu. This can be used to import the whole structure from another Scrivener project, or to retrieve data from corrupted projects, as the feature does its best to reassemble a project if it cannot open the binder file properly (though the structure will be lost for corrupted projects).
· Fixed bug whereby excluding annotations or footnotes in Project Statistics options had no effect on the main draft word or character count.
· Project statistics are now only recalculated when switching back to view the statistics rather than every time you change an option.
· Upon opening a project, Scrivener now does a check to ensure that the internal document IDs held in the binder file match what is on disk inside the project. Previously, if a project had got corrupted - perhaps because of a bug - it was possible in rare circumstances that some documents could exist inside the .scriv file that had no representation in the project. The result of this would be that you could create a new file in the project only to find some old text in it - because the new document had been assigned an internal ID that had been used before, and the file of which had not been properly deleted from disk. If any such straggling files are detected, Scrivener creates documents for them and places them in a _Recovered Files folder at the bottom of the binder, leaving it up to the user what to do with them.
· Hopefully fixed some minor oddities in Export Files when only one file was selected for exporting.
November 5th, 2007· Miscellaneous Changes
Application Support paths have been changed - this means that any project templates or export settings that you have set up will no longer be found until you alter the paths. The new paths are:
· ~/Library/Application Support/Scrivener/ExportSettings
· ~/Library/Application Support/Scrivener/ProjectTemplates
· ~/Library/Application Support/Scrivener/ScriptFormats
· You can now hit the Delete key to move items in the search results table to the Trash. Obviously, given that the document will still be part of the search, nothing will appear to happen except that the item's icon will turn transparent to indicate that it is now in the Trash, but the behaviour is now more consistent as you could already select Edit > Delete to do this.
· Name of Draft folder as customised by user will now appear in Edit > Insert menu and Project Statistics. E.g. If you have renamed the Draft folder to "Manuscript", the items under Edit > Insert will be entitled, "Manuscript Word Count" and "Manuscript Character Count" instead of "Draft Word Count" and so on. This is now consistent with the way that "Compile Draft" is renamed to "Compile [Draft folder name]" depending on what you have called your Draft folder.
· Changed internal name for default editor width preference - this means the previous value will need resetting.
· You should now enter zero into the "Default Editor Width" preference to get the editor to fill the screen, rather than an arbitrarily large number.
· Backup To... now uses short system date preferences to generate its file name.
· Amended PDF loading code so that memory does get leaked on Leopard (this was necessary on Tiger to avoid a bug in the PDFKit which could cause crashes when loading PDF files).
· Added more information to the "Update project" panel to warn users not to open updated projects in versions of Scrivener prior to 1.10.
· Added "Action cannot be undone" warning to Convert Web Archive to Text & Convert PDF File to Text.
· New Project Assistant no longer allows the (attempted) creation of files containing the ‘/' or ‘:' characters.
· Bug Fixes
· Fixed Project Statistics bug that could cause a crash or application hang in some projects. This bug (and crash) would appear in some projects when trying to view the project statistics or print via Compile Draft when "No widows/orphans" was checked in the Page Layout settings.
· Fixed bug whereby projects containing thousands of documents could not be opened on older hardware. This fix also speeds up project opening times and reduces disk usage upon opening projects (all of which may not be noticeable on newer hardware, but is significant). Previously, upon opening a project, Scrivener used a Cocoa method that passed it the whole of the contents of the .scriv package, even though Scrivener only needed a tiny piece of that information to open the file. Now Scrivener uses a different method that only passes it the path of the .scriv file, so that Scrivener can open only what it needs.
· Fixed bug whereby alternating colours for Edit Scrivenings did not show up in full screen on 1.02 and 1.03.
· You should now be able to drag in URLs directly from the address bar of Safari (previously this only worked with Camino). Note that you must drag from the icon in the address bar, not the address text itself.
· Toolbar items with menus now show those menus in text-only mode.
· Hopefully fixed bug in upgrade between 1.02 and 1.03 whereby PDF files (and sometimes web files) would appear massively magnified. In any case, the fix for this is to go to View > PDF Display and select Size To Fit or Actual Size to restore the PDF scale.
· Fixed bug in 1.03 whereby upon exiting full screen, the text in the main window did not jump to the place you were working on in full screen.
· Fixed bug whereby unicode characters (such as umlauts) would not appear in page header when exported to RTF or DOC format.
· Document targets button (in footer view) is now disabled during Edit Scrivenings sessions (where it is meaningless).
· Fixed bug whereby Session Targets did not get updated during Edit Scrivenings sessions.
· Fixed bug in exporting RTF files including images. RTF expects width and height of images to be defined in long integers, but Scrivener was defining them using floats (decimals), which could cause certain files not to open in applications such as Mellel.
· Fixed bug whereby project search panel would not appear if the toolbar was visible but set to label only or if the search field was not visible.
· Fixed bug whereby Scrivener links were not saved when placed in the notes of non-text documents.
· Fixed bug whereby scaling an image in text would not get saved unless you did extra editing afterwards.
· Fixed bug whereby you could open the image scale panel in the uneditable snapshots panel, which could cause a crash (or, at the very least, strange behaviour).
· Fixed bug whereby certain stageplay settings suddenly failed to be recognised in 1.02 and 10.3.
· Fixed inconsistency whereby web page import sheet did not always open with "http://" selected.
· Fixed bug whereby hitting shift-cmd-O on multiple files in one editor would not open them in an arbitrary corkboard in the other (when "Selection Affects Alternate Editor" is selected) but would instead present the "No Selection" message in the other editor.
· Fixed bug whereby a blank document title could, in rare circumstances, cause a problem that could lead to the text contextual menu not appearing and other weird behaviour.
· Fixed bug in split at selection and merge documents whereby the split file or children of the merged documents could be moved to the wrong place when the documents affected were in the root folder.
· Fixed bug whereby splitting documents could cause the session count to stop working for a while.
· Fixed bug whereby screenwriting preferences for smart hyphens and auto-caps settings would not always be respected.
· Fixed scroller in Scratch Pad text view so that arrow buttons now work.
· If text is edited in an Edit Scrivenings session, the undo stack linked to that text is now reset. Otherwise, the undo stack becomes out of sync which can cause erratic behaviour or crashes.
· Fixed miscellaneous RTF and RTFD export bugs that could lead to the Compile Draft sheet not responding, strange results when copying and pasting into other programs, and documents that could crash Microsoft Word. Most of these errors were related to a clash between the RTF formatting of footnotes, annotations, tables and lists. Note that because of these issues, footnotes and annotations can no longer contain tables or bulleted lists - if they do, they will be stripped out upon export to RTF, RTFD or MS Word format.
· Fixed bug in corkboard whereby creating a new index card in borderline scroll cases (you know, where the scroll bar appears and then disappears because Apple's scrollers don't always get it quite right) could cause the index card editor to appear in the wrong place, so that the place in which you were expected to type appeared outside of the borders of the actual card.
· The internal RTFD tags used to preserve annotations and footnotes are now saved using the standard Helvetica font, to (hopefully) avoid annotations and footnotes getting corrupted by strange fonts that precede them.
· Fixed bug whereby moving multiple documents left, right, up or down in the binder could cause a crash or at the very least, strange behaviour, with an exception written to the console about a problem with the undo stack.
· Fixed minor bug whereby deleting snapshots would not update the icon in the binder or anywhere else (i.e. the icon would still have the curled corner) until selecting another document.
· Fixed bug whereby in Edit Scrivenings sessions, icons may not get updated properly to reflect state of the document.
· Fixed bug whereby saving could fail and crash the program sometimes if annotations used a grayscale colour.
· Fixed bug where app could crash if focus was placed in the top editor and the split was then closed using cmd-' and then reopened.
· Lengthened text fields in preferences panes to better accommodate systems using a custom system font.
· Hopefully fixed (harmless) bug whereby, upon launching a project in Scrivener, an error would get written to the console along the lines of "*** Illegal NSTableView data source ([object class: SCRBinderDocument, number of selected objects: 0]). Must implement numberOfRowsInTableView: and tableView:objectValueForTableColumn:row:".
· Fixed typo in annotation label separator section of Typography preferences pane ("..anyything before...").
· Fixed bug whereby web pages could be dragged from a browser into the Draft folder (when the Draft folder should only allow text files).
· Draft word and character counts and auto-numbering is no longer case sensitive, so will work just as well as , for instance (obviously it is still case sensitive where there are different upper- or lowercase options).
· Fixed Preferences panel so that if you close it using the close button, everything is reset just as it would be if you clicked on "Cancel".
· Fixed bug whereby the tooltips for Scrivener links would not be cleared when the link was cleared.
· Fixed another crashing bug caused by the undo manager when moving documents right, left, up or down (note that undo will not always work with these actions unless Lock in Place is selected; the difference is that now, when undo can't work, Scrivener won't crash).
· Import Web Page now respects the preference in General preferences to convert the web page to text upon import if selected.
· Fixed bug where word/character count progress bars in outliner would size to the vertical height of the row.
· Fixed outliner redrawing bugs - for instance, whereby editing the synopsis would not always cause the row height to change.
· Fixed project notes bugs whereby Scrivener links would be created in the wrong place and would not be saved between sessions.
· Fixed bug whereby contextual menu items for Scrivener links and highlight were greyed out in full screen notes panel.
· Improved "Reveal in Binder" so that if there is a selection in the corkboard or outliner and "Reveal in Binder" is selected from the main menu, the selected items are revealed (previously it would reveal the parent document and selected items could only be revealed using the contextual menu).
· Fixed "Use Selection for Find".
· Fixed "Split at selection" behaviour so that if you are splitting the text of a folder, the newly created document becomes the first child of the folder rather than a sibling if (and only if) the folder has contents. This way, the split document and the new document will remain adjacent - previously, the newly created document could end up completely separated from its original.
· Fixed bug in auto-complete that could cause strange behaviour.
· Fixed bug whereby if full screen inspector was closed using the "close" button in its titlebar, its visible state would not be remembered so that it would be open again next time full screen mode was entered.
· Include in Export, Page Break Before and Preserve Formatting buttons in the inspector and outliner are now greyed out for documents not contained inside the Draft folder.
· Fixed checkboxes in outliner view so that they appear top-aligned rather than in the centre.
· Pop-up menus in outliner now appear directly over the arrows, regardless of row height, as you would expect (in previous versions, the menu would appear in the centre of the row vertically).
· Fixed minor bug whereby, when ctrl-clicking in the binder, the document in the main editor would update immediately, but the document displayed in the inspector would not update until the ctrl-click menu was closed.
· Scratch pad now uses default notes font if empty.
· The MultiMarkdown bundle no longer gets copied into the application bundle twice.
· Fixed page number printing in File > Print.
· Fixed minor bug whereby inspector would not remember its old size when opened after reopening the project.
· Fixed bug whereby importing a template in the New Projects assistant would erroneously report that the template is not valid.
· Fixed bug whereby Find & Replace All would not work properly in Edit Scrivenings (the find & replace would work okay, but only changes to the first document would get saved; this could also cause undo stacks to become out-of-sync, too).
· Fixed bug in MultiMarkdown Settings whereby leaving the entry for a meta-data type empty would result in the generated MMD meta-data inserting "(null)".
· Fixed minor bug whereby project notes would not respect continuous spell-check settings between sessions.
· Fixed bug in full screen: previously, when in an Edit Scrivenings session, if double newlines were set as the separators between scrivenings in the Preferences and you tried to enter full screen mode with the cursor at the end of the text, an out of bounds exception would be raised and full screen would not appear. This is fixed for 1.1.
· Hopefully fixed bug where newline separators would take on Helvetica font in Compile Draft, which could lead to footnotes taking on Helvetica font, too, when exported to RTF.
· Fixed bug whereby find string could be forgotten when reopening Find panel straight after another find.
· The forward delete key now deletes documents as well as the backspace key.
· Fixed bug whereby selecting header/footer but leaving header/footer text field blank in Compile Draft would cause warnings to be spewed to the console on Leopard.
· Fixed bug whereby Edit Scrivenings commands in menu did not work.
· Fixed a bug in find & replace that could lead to a -characterAtIndex: exception message.
· Fixed bug whereby Check Spelling as You Type did not work (and threw an exception on the console).
· Fixed bug whereby hiding and showing the binder or inspector would lose the last width of the binder and inspector so that when they reappeared they would be much wider.
· New Project Assistant now has a minimum window size - previously it could be resized so small that the controls would get messed up.
· Fixed bug whereby a standard Aqua scroller would be displayed in full screen even if "No scroller" was selected in Preferences.
· Fixed silly mistake whereby non-text items would display their word count as -1 in the outliner rather than as 0.
· Fixed bug whereby sound files didn't get drawn correctly on corkboard if "Show media files as photographs" was selected as a preference.
· Changed the way Project Statistics internally generates the text for counting the printed pages for the Draft so that it now more accurately reflects what will be the actual page count (previously, this count did not take into account the export format settings).
· Fixed bug in the Find panel whereby "Replace All" did not respect the scope (whole word, begins with etc).
· Fixed several spelling inconsistencies in the interface (British spellings in a mainly US interface).
· Fixed a couple of minor bugs in auto-complete where auto-complete list would not appear if any blank items had been entered to the list in Edit Auto-Complete List and the Script Settings panel would not close if blank auto-complete items had been added.
· Save as Template now disallows the creation of a template entitled "Empty Project" (so that you can't clash with the default template).
· Made some adjustments to the way footnotes and annotations are exported to RTF, which should hopefully fix the way they could previously get their fonts messed up in Word and NeoOffice.
· Fixed a bug with importing password-protected PDF files.
· Fixed some minor bugs in outliner: previously, the first column could keep getting wider every time you opened a project, and there were some glitches with the display when using tinted row backgrounds. Also tweaked for Leopard.
· Fixed some minor - and rare - bugs with loading text in custom RTFD loader.
· Fixed headers and footers (and thus page numbers) when printing so that they now respect the left and right margins - and thus should no longer get cut off on some printers.
· Fixed minor bug in Label & Status Setup where changes to individual label and status items would not be cancelled upon clicking "Cancel" but would instead be saved.
· Upon selecting "Backup To...", the project now gets saved before the backup file is created, so that the backup reflects the project in its exact current state (Backup To just copies the project file, so if it is not saved, the copy will not be up-do-date).
· Word and character counts are now right-aligned in the outliner.
· Fixed bug whereby navigating forwards or backwards between corkboard views while editing and index card would transfer the edit to the corresponding card in the new corkboard view.
· Position of splitter in full screen inspector is now remembered between sessions.
· Fixed bug caused by drawing a slight shadow around the selected item in the binder which would cause a "CGContextSetStyle: invalid context" error to appear in the console.
· Minor internal modifications to the way shadows are reset in the corkboard to avoid potential bugs.
· Fixed colour of cursor in full screen; previously the cursor could revert to black even when "Override text color" was selected in the Full Screen preferences.
· Fixed bug whereby selecting multiple lines and trying to change the script element would cause Scrivener to hang.
· Fixed bug that would cause attempts at updating and opening Scrivener Gold projects to fail.
· Fixed bug whereby window title would not always get updated to reflect the currently focussed document.
· Fixed bug whereby inspector width would not be remembered between sessions when hidden if it was as thin as allowed.
· Fixed minor bug whereby alternate background colour in Edit Scrivenings would not always get drawn all the way to the right margin (not sure if this was just a Leopard thing or not).
· Fixed bug which would cause the editor to switch to the wrong mode when split using the header button in certain circumstances.
· Fixed bug in widows and orphans code that meant that often only the first widow or orphan would be detected and corrected, and subsequent widows and orphans would be left to straggle.
· Fixed display bug in outliner on Leopard whereby when the text wraps at the bottom of the outliner whilst editing, the text in all items would suddenly appear to be the same as in the edited cell.
· Hopefully fixed a crash that could occur if multiple images inside text - especially inside tables - were dragged to the notes text view.
