Would there be any chance of a Preference to alter the behaviour of card numbering on the Corkboard, and extend this to the binder? I have the files in my Draft folder arranged by folders, which is useful for planning. What I’m finding in Scrivener 2 is that on the Corkboard all these files appear numbered, and that the numbering restarts in each folder. In principle, numbering is great. My problem is that I want the numbers to run consecutively across all the folders, not discretely within folders.
Also, I find I need to number the files in the binder also. The main reason for this, apart from clarity, is that sometimes I catch a file by accident with the cursor in the Binder and it gets moved unintentionally. As Undo doesn’t work with this, it is sometimes a hassle to find where the file belongs - numbering obviously solves this. However, as the cards add their own numbers, I now find there are two numbers in the card title, which is additionally confusing. The default number added by the app doesn’t solve the moving problem, as it changes when the file order changes.
The ideal would be able to choose: (a) whether you want the cards numbered; (b) whether they should be numbered in a flat sequence or by folder; © whether you want numbers to appear in the binder as well as on the card; (d) to have numbers stick so that misordering is apparent.
A lot to ask, I know! But the situation at the moment is very limiting.
