Summary: In a strange new development, the past records in my Writing History are all off by a day. But today’s words were recorded on the correct day, so I really can’t understand how this happened.
Details: After some time away from regular writing while I had a busy month, today I was checking out my Writing History to see how much (little) I wrote in May. Since I knew which dates I did and didn’t add anything to Scrivener, I was able to notice that the Writing History records were all off by a day. For example, I did some writing on May 12 and 15, but the Writing History shows no new draft words those days, and instead new words on May 11 and 14, when I know I didn’t write.
Scrolling back through the history, everything now seems to be off by a day. (There are certain days of the week I tend not to write, so I could confirm by checking against the calendar.) But I’m certain this wasn’t the case when the words were initially recorded, because I look at the Writing History regularly, and everything was as expected before my time off.
Today’s words showed up in the correct day (June 2), and Scrivener knows my current date and time (confirmed by inserting a time stamp.)
This issue appeared sometime in the past two weeks when I wasn’t actively using Scrivener. I did have the application open on my computer most of that time, and typed in a few notes on a couple of days. I traveled with my computer from the Pacific to Eastern time zone during that time, but am now back in Pacific time.
I found the writing.history file, and the dates in there match the now-wrong dates shown in the Writing History. So I could fix this by modifying the file with a script if I want to. But can anyone figure out what’s going on?
