Hi All,
It is evident that our performance improvement code introduced several nasty bugs in beta 022. Firstly, our sincere apologies caused by this previous beta release.
What made most of these bugs particularly difficult to fix was that we were unable to reproduce all of them. However, given the large amount of feedback clearly there were issues.
The following bugs have been addressed:
-
Scrivener saving issue. Hopefully, this has been addressed. Unfortunately, we were not able to reproduce this most sinister issue so we’ll have to wait for confirmation that our changes have in fact worked.
-
Scrivener Crash when editing folders text. Fixed.
-
Pulled 7Zip code fix attempts out. Reverted to standard Windows zip archiving once again. Please note to open Scrivener zipped backups please use the built in Windows zip tool not 7Zip. Which is not supported.
-
Additional View/Group mode changes to align functionality identically to Mac platform. Fixed.
-
Project search and replace saved after project close. Fixed.
-
Templates now work as expected and no longer open to blank template. Fixed.
-
Document inspector sticking to previous document when using splits and closing out of project and returning. Fixed.
-
Paste and Match Style within fullscreen with short cut keys. Fixed.
-
Horizontal split screen mashing up of text for scrivenings and long documents. Fixed.
-
Minor installer fixes with wording. Addressed.
Beta Release 023 is now available for download (Windows and Linux).

IMPORTANT NOTE: a full install is required and any personal settings that you’ve made within Scrivener will be lost so you’ll need to customise them again. This was unfortunately due to the need to rename a registry keys to align with the Mac platform. There should be no further changes so you’re settings should be safe moving forward. I’m sorry about that too.
Moving forward, we are still aware of the following issues: various compile fixes, word count not showing issues, total word count issues, binder icon refresh issues, rtf lang issues when importing non utf-8 Chinese text. We are also aware that the CTRL+ALT short cut key combination are going to need changing due to international languages and Windows legacy code using the right ALT key combination for creating accented characters. As usual we will do our best to address these outstanding issues as soon as possible.
Thank you for you continued support with the beta and once again apologies for any inconvenience beta 022 may have caused.
Regards
Lee
