Would like to report (and hopefully get a solution for) two bugs I’ve noticed since the update.
When I open any file in a Quick Reference window, then try to open an attached bookmark from the bookmark panel… NOTHING OPENS. I try to double click on them, but it doesn’t work anymore. I try to click “Open As Quick Reference”. Nada. Please fix this bug ASAP! I have SO MANY FILES that I need to quickly access as I cross-reference everything, and now it seems like I can’t open more than one quick reference window at a time or the bookmarks in the Quick Reference panel won’t work at all?? I just???
2. Scrivenings mode no longer lets me view multiple texts as one document??? At least when the texts are nested under a single text file. Viewing multiple texts as one will work fine for folders, but not for files nested under a text file. I tried doing everything I normally did to get it to work and nothing! Once again… this is CONFOUNDING as I’m in the painstaking process of cross-referencing files all over the place and, I really need to be able to see multiple nested files at once. – RESOLVED! Make sure “Treat all documents with subdocuments as folders” is checked in Options > Behaviors > Folders & Files
It worked because only “folders” can display their content as a Scrivening without it being specifically selected in the binder.
It allows, by unchecking the option, and choosing whether a folder is a real folder or a file with other files nested in it, to have two automatic display settings for them.
Or so I would think. Though a bit in conflict with section type by binder structure…
Huh. That’s odd. I’ve never had that option clicked before. In fact, I had it purposefully off because it used to mess up the binder by making everything bold instead of just the folders.
Well, I can’t really say since I’ve always had this option checked, but I tested it before replying, and that is how it behaves at the moment.
Perhaps indeed something changed with the last update. I don’t know.
The way I recall it, nesting files vs folders would remember their respective view settings. Which they seem not to do anymore.
I don’t use that enough to be certain it really used to be like that, though. (Would have to check in the manual.)
This is what I have it set for. However, prior to this last update, if I also had “Treat all documents with subdocuments as folders” is checked it would bold everything.
I don’t know what to add…
I just looked in the manual, searching for “use bold font” and couldn’t really find anything susceptible to clarify the situation.
All I can say, is that I’ve been running Scrivener with
and
as my settings since I moved from V1 to the V3’s beta, without anything but folders having their title bold in the binder, that I ever noticed. (I use Scrivener daily, almost 365/365)
Given how much I split my chapters in smaller bits (for print) while keeping the root document as a file (not a folder), I sure would have noticed. Something else must be at play.
(Especially since if it was actually intended as such, the second option, “Use bold font for: Document Groups”, would have no reason to be.)
