L&L,
Words cannot do justice to all the hard work you have all put in. This new edition is gorgeous. Quick question, I wish to look at the examples in the Extras Pack but only a few of these files are .scriv files. How can I open the others?
Many thanks for the kind words! Everything in the Extras packs is covered in various different sections of the manual. I note that Ioa hasn’t included in the readme.txt which parts of the manual they are used in, possibly because the manual is a constant work in progress and the section numbers would quickly be out of date. However:
.scrtypes is a list of Section Types that can be imported or exported via Project > Project Settings > Section Types.
.clr is an Apple colour palette profile. They can be placed in ~/Library/Colors.
.scrformat is a Compile format and can be imported via Compile (from the gear button at the bottom of the Formats list).
.rb is a Ruby script that can be used with Compile’s post-processing options for users who want to run scripts after using Markdown, for instance.
.scrlayout is a UI layout that can be imported via Window > Layouts > Manage Layouts…
I’m sure they will all make more sense in context of the manual, though, so it might be worth searching for the file names in the PDF manual.
I intended to create an annotated list of those files in the appendix itself that points you to the download, but it was a low priority thing and I ran out of time before I had to move on to other aspects of the launch. I’ll get that tidied up, and I plan to add additional interactive examples in the future as time goes by, too.
And yes, searching for file names will be the best way right now, as I do always refer to them by name where they are used and discussed.
Otherwise, thank you! Glad to hear you’re enjoying it.
