Downgrading to 1.6.1.0

Heywood · June 14, 2014, 1:36pm

I did the upgrade today and I find that I can open my project, but when I try to compile it, the compile window hangs completely. It’s a pure-white window with the title “Compile (Not Responding)” that never goes away or becomes responsive again. Underneath that is the regular Scrivener window, with a second all-white window titled “New Project (Not Responding)”.

In order to get things working again, I have to kill the process and launch it again, but I don’t seem to ever be able to compile.

Being able to compile is somewhat essential, so how can I downgrade back to 1.6.1.0 until this is fixed? Thanks!

On edit, it appears to have maxed out an entire core - somewhat impressive on this machine, but implies some kind of infinite loop. Compiles used to take no longer than two minutes or so and the last hung attempt has been running for about 15 minutes now without result.

Found the downgrade at scrivener.s3.amazonaws.com/win_ … update.exe and compile likes me again. I love the promised features of 1.67, but I’ll have to stick with 1.6 until the compile bug gets fixed.

Thanks for leaving that download up, much appreciated!

Could you provide some more details about the failed compile? What format were you compiling to (DOC, DOCX, PDF, etc.)? There are different conversion tools available in some cases for different compile formats, so you might be able to select a different option to get the compile working–it may just be that something specific about the project formatting or compile settings is making that specific converter choke, or there just weren’t available resources on the computer to complete the conversion. The converters are set in the Import/Export section of Tools > Options.

One issue we are aware of is that if you have Microsoft Office 365, it triggers Scrivener to default to the Microsoft Office converters for DOC and DOCX formats, but they don’t work with the Office 365 API and would potentially cause the hang you saw. We’re working to fix that in the next update, but meanwhile you’d need to select an alternative converter for those formats. (“RTF-Based” would be the same as what you were using for DOC compile in 1.6.1.)

Sure, but I’m not sure what kind of details you need. It’s compiling to PDF, but none of the saved presets would work. As soon as I went back to 1.6.1.0, they started working again without any modification. I don’t have Office 365 installed.
