Seems I created a mess. I thought I was creating a backup of my project by saving it onto a flash drive using
File/SaveAs.
Now I am unable to open this project in Scrivener on my iMac. I get a message saying that the flash drive cannot be located. How can I get it back onto my computer so when I open the Scrivener app it opens to this project or will open from within the list of projects?
Thank you.
Using Finder, drag the project from the flash drive to whatever location you want.
Rename it, so you know which copy is which.
Still in Finder, double-click to open it in Scrivener. It will now appear in the Recent Projects list.
For future manual backups, use the File -> Backup -> Backup To command instead.
Also, check Scrivener’s automatic backup location, which can be found in the Scrivener -> Preferences -> Backups pane.
