OSX 10.7.3, scrivener 2.2 (15858) (from website, not apple store)
I have a project with the draft of one of my novels in (~90k + notes). It is set up to sync with an external (dropbox) folder, so most of my scenes have a handful of snapshots. Today I discovered that if I attempt to take a snapshot by hand (either by kb short cut or by clicking on the snapshot bar), scrivener hangs and has to be quit with ctrl-option-esc.
From top’s output, scrivener is using <1% cpu, so its not trying to do anything else. I’ve tried rebooting the machine (still broken).
I then created a new ( fiction novel, w/out parts) file and tried to take a snapshot and it still hung!
I appreciate this is insufficient to debug the problem, but I’m not sure what additional data I can provide. If there are logs or similar I can trigger, then let me know and I’ll do so.
Scrivener redirects its console output so that it can be included in automatic crash reports. To get the log data, please do the following:
In Scrivener, from the “Scrivener” menu, select “Reveal Support Folder in Finder”.
Now take a snapshot so that Scrivener hangs.
In the Finder, in the folder that was revealed in Step 1, drill down into the “Logs” folder and open Console.log, either in a plain text editor or by double-clicking (which will open it in Console.app).
Please copy and paste the contents - if any - into your reply.
Whats particularly confusing here is that you are getting hangs when taking snapshots in a brand new project.
