labels: search syntax and automatically assign by level

[dorindon]

Concerning labels:

• is there a search syntax. I often search for the cyan label. label:cyan does not work in project search. I want to write a keyboard maestro macro for quick label searches
• is there a way to automatically assign a label by level. For example, I want all text and folders level 1 to be cyan
  thank you very much in advance !

The “official” names of the labels can be found in the Project → Project Settings → Label List pane. Scrivener does support RegEx searches, but a better solution for repeated searches would be to create a Search Collection.

There’s no automated way to assign labels (or anything else) by outline level, but you can select all of the relevant items in the Binder and then assign the label. If you select a folder document, but not the sub-documents, only the folder itself will get the label.

So, first choose the outline level you want in the Binder, then use the View → Outline → Collapse All to Current Level command to simplify the view.
