First post… Hi, all…
I’d like to do as I saw in Scrivener Boot Camp (a YouTube video), and use comments as on-the-fly edit or revision reminders to go through and handle at a later date, so I can keep up my pace…
But I find that in Scrivenings Mode, the comments I’ve made only appear when my edit cursor is placed in the applicable file in the editor. This would be fine, except that it will make me click through them all in order to find the reminders, which is not the behavior I want from a “reminder” (In the video, clicking on a comment took you to the location, even if it was in another file).
Is there any way to alter this behavior? I’d like all of my comments to appear in the comment window whenever I click on the little “Footnotes & Comments” button, and not wait for me to be in the “right place” to see them.
Or is that something only the Mac version can do?
Thanks for responding…
Okay I found the answer: the “collected” comments for the whole project only show up when you have the inspector band open, have it on Footnotes & Comments, are on project level in the binder, and then click into the editor window.
Until you click your cursor into the editor, only the project notes will be displayed in the Inspector band.
Moderators feel free to delete this thread, but it could be clearer; I found the answer because someone else had the same problem (and because I searched as I should have done first…)
Comments and footnotes only appear when the focus is in the text editor, since they are text-specific item. Currently however the ability to show all comments and footnotes from multiple loaded documents is Mac-only; because Scrivenings mode on Windows works a little differently at the moment, as multiple stacked editors, only the comments and footnotes of the currently-focussed document in the Scrivenings session will be shown. With focus in the editor, you can use the shortcut Alt+PageUp/Down to quickly jump between documents in the Scrivenings session.
