[LH#3294] Statistics: a serious problem for Chinese users ! !

[huajiu]

There is a serious problem for Chinese users.
The statistics at the bottom of editor,only display “Words”,not “Characters”,
So if I writing in Chinese ,I can only know how much sentences I wrote ,not how much words.
Just like this:

I need a option to decide it show “Words"or"Characters”.or change it like the older version,display “Words” and “Characters” at the same time.

Solve this problem is very important for Chinese users.Thank you.

对中国用户来说有一个非常严重的问题，编辑器底部的字数统计只能统计“字”而不是字符。
这就导致当用户使用汉语写作时，只能看到自己写了多少句，而不是自己写了多少字。
希望能够自己选择下方显示“Word"还是"Characters"。或者能够像旧版本一样，把两者在下方同时显示。
解决这个问题对中国用户非常重要，谢谢。

Thank You for reporting this, huajiu! The statistics have been improved a lot in Scrivener v2.9.0.11. We are matching Mac here, but unfortunately we have missed the Chinese use case that you describe. Something that might help you at the moment is click the statusbar text, which will now show you a sophisticated popup dialog with a lot of info including the characters and characters without spaces. The popup will also show info based on your current selection.
For the next version we will find a way to improve the status bar visible text and handle the Chinese language better.
