Beta 28 Compile setting "Override separator after" doesn't work

Scrivener Windows Beta (Archived)
1

I’m running Beta 28 on Win10 Build 18362.

I’ve just started digging into v3 compile in the beta, and it looks GREAT. Love the changes. It did take me a couple of hours with the (Mac) manual to wrap the concepts around my head–note to self: don’t try learning new Scriv compile approach when sleepy–but eventually I got it.

Bug: The compile setting “Override separator after” exists but doesn’t seem to be implemented. Just in case it should be working, here’s a bug report.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

create B28 tutorial

launch compile

duplicate and edit Manuscript (Courier) format, save to Project Formats

change target to DOCX

select Separators

select Section Layout Part Title

change Override Separator After from Empty Line to Custom “–Page Title Separator After–”

select Section Layout Section Text

enable Override Separator After

change Override Separator After from Single Return to Custom “–Section Text Separator After–”

press Save

set Compile For: to DOCX

press Compile

Expected behavior in the resulting DOCX: The Override Separator After settings should force “–Page Title Separator After–” to print after every Page Title, and “–Section Text Separator After–” to print after every Section Text.

Actual behavior in the resulting DOCX: The specified Override Separator After text never prints.

Let me know if any other info would be helpful.

Best,
Jim

Yes, override separators are under development. They should be available in the next update.
