Hi all, I am hoping the Forum denizens can help me with a scary issue I had this morning.
Some parameters:
MacOS 10.12.6
Dropbox Sync and Storage.
I also have iOS sync, which I use sometimes (last used 20 October); and a PC which is currently unplugged.
Right now, I am working almost exclusively on MacOS.
I have been using Scrivener for about 7 years (lost my old forum account credentials), including a couple of betas and I’ve never had trouble before.
Last night, I prepped my work for the morning.
This morning, I booted up my computer–and my entire first chapter folder is gone. Completely missing. I feel sick.
(see attached screenshots of binder and search)
I have checked for backups, but these no longer seem to be done automatically?
I have checked trash. Other items I deleted are in trash, but this is not there.
I searched, and it shows up for the synopses–but if it has been moved somewhere strange by accident, there is no way to locate where the folder is.
My iOS is set to auto-sync so I haven’t tried that yet because I’m worried it’ll wipe it if it’s saved. That’s my next step.
I do have a compiled backup of this thank goodness, but the Scrivener version had comments of changes I want to make, and info from my beta readers, so I’d really like to find it.
Really hoping it’s some sort of bizarre user error, but I’ve run out of ideas on where else to look. I don’t want this to be a Scrivener error because that’s truly terrifying.
Thanks for any help.
