Binder nesting indents

Is there anyway to increase the indents in the Binder? I’d like my documents to nest inside my folders a little further in to the right.

There is. In Scrivener 3, select an item then > Edit Menu > Move > Move Right (you’ll see the key code there, as well).

There’s the same or a similar way in Scriv 2.

But AEW is talking about the visual appearence, right?

I think you’re right, lunk. I came back to edit my post with an If.

And the size of the indent in the Binder can’t be changed, can it?

Yes, I am

I haven’t found a way. If you try by moving the parent, the child moves as well while maintaining its position in relation to the parent.

Sorry for leading things a bit astray.

I don’t think there is a way to increase size of the indent, but you can make the difference between levels stand out a little more by making folders and / or document groups bold:

Preferences > Appearance > Binder > Fonts > User bold font for:

That’s the setting for V3 — you could also do it in V2, but I can’t remember where the setting was…

In V3 you can also change the space between binder items, which may also help:

Preferences > Appearance > Binder > Options > Row spacing:

Not exactly what you’re asking for but tweaking these setting may help a little.

And you can assign different icons to different levels

THANK YOU ! This is incredibly helpful

You can also set key high level folders as being separators. Right-click on selected elements in the binder and use the “Show as Binder Separator” command.

You could also differentiate by color, in example, label (color) all folders the same. Right-click on selected items > Label > choose a color. Then in the Scrivener menu bar > View Menu > Use Label Color In > Binder.There’s two options for the Binder. If Use Full Width in Binder is selected you’ll get a full width colored strip, if not you’ll get a colored dot.
