Hi folks,
I downloaded the Scrivener beta and I’m really enjoying it. I think you’ve done a fantastic job and I can’t wait to see what you have in store for the release version.
I did run into an instance in which the auto-capitalization was an issue and I’m not sure if this is a bug or just the way the grammar check functions. It’s a really small thing and there is a work-around, so it’s not a big deal.
When there is a parenthetical aside within a sentence that has punctuation, the auto-capitalization will insist on capitalizing the first word after the closing parenthesis. For example (I stole this sentence from the “Woe Is I” grammar book ): “Jimmy has already made plans for the money (poor guy!), But his wife is skeptical.” The “b” in “but” is capitalized when it shouldn’t be. I was able to fix this by completing the sentence and then changing the “but” to lowercase. Every time I tried to correct it before the sentence was completed, it was auto-corrected every time I started a new word.
Thanks! And, again, great job!
