Hi, I’m having an issue with compile. It used to work converting to docx and PDF. But now it’s not working anymore, it stops at “coverting file format…” It keeps showing this process like forever. The Scrivener app doesn’t freeze though. I can still cancel the process.
I notice before when I can still compile there’s a java app showing when the converting process is going, but now it’s not. So I’m guessing the problem is with java app? I tried restarting my mac but the problem remains.
It appears that it happens because I’m using <$n:chapter> in the chapter title, and troughout the text I’m using <$n#chapter> to autogenerate Figure/Table numbering in my thesis based on chapter number, So for example “Figure <$n#chapter>.<$n:fig:figtitle>” in chapter 5, will be compiled as Figure 5.1… 5.2… and so on.
At first it worked just fine, but after compiling several times the problem starts. Could it be a bug?
Yes, after hours of trying I think that is the problem and I use a manual approach to handle it. Now I’m using:
Figure 5. <$n:fig:figtitle>
.
Not a dynamic solution, but I can still use find & replace should the chapter number changes, or the figure moves to another chapter. Attached is the sample project. I hope it the issue can be replicated.
A little background… I found this issue when I try to make my figure numbering corresponds to the chapter number. The requirement for my thesis format is for the title numbering to be in title-case, i.e., “Chapter One”, so I use <$t:chapter> in the title. However, the figure titles in the text needs to be in numerical value (e.g, Figure 5.1), so I use the <$n#chapter>. But I noticed in the placeholder guide it notes that;
So when trying to find a workaround for this, I encounter the problem.
