Full screen with multiple documents selected

I’m just loving Scrivener 2.0 so far – it is just an amazing program – but there are a few things that don’t seem to work the same as before and I’d like to know if there’s a way to do them. I’m breaking these up into separate posts for clarity…

I keep my novel draft together as a bunch of documents within the Draft folder (i.e. no subfolders for chapters, etc). What I like to do is look at a few documents together in full screen mode. In version 1.54, I believe I would multi-select these documents, then I’d view the documents as scrivenings (composite of the text documents), and then I would select Full Screen mode. This would let me see multiple documents in full screen mode. With 2.0, I see that this kind of thing works if you select a folder containing multiple documents, but if you select multiple documents in the binder manually and then attempt to go full screen, it changes your selection to a single selection and then just shows that one document. Since I don’t use folders for this novel, I don’t know a good way to do this any longer. Any advice? Thanks!

Make sure you click in the text view before you enter full screen - if the focus is in the binder then they get loaded into navigation history rather than into scrivenings in full screen. This is on the list for fixing in 2.0.1.

Thanks,

Keith – Thanks for the info. That trick works just fine! … a very easy solution to the problem. ~yyy
