I have a similar situation with a folder of over 400 files. Anytime I use OUTLINER mode it hangs for over a minute even though there is little in the files. Why is Scrivener loading all that info in outliner mode? It appears that only the basic info is being shown to the user. The rest of the interface responds well otherwise. OUTLINER mode would be very useful if it worked but now it renders Scrivener entirely useless. I’ve reconfigured my folders and no happiness ensued. I still need to deal with all those files – now in multiple folders – and I can’t do it.
ALSO: Should we re-report bugs that we once submitted on earlier betas and haven’t been fixed yet? Or, given how buggy the current beta is, should we just wait? I only want to know what is most helpful.
