RC6: PDF are no longer an option to import into binder

Scrivener Windows Beta (Archived)
1

Have I lost my mind? I have a project which has two PDFs (they were converted to rtf but by Scrivener) as files in my binder. I use this strategy often for keeping track of journal articles belonging to a writing project.

I have two more articles to add to this project. But when I go to “add item” and “existing files” (the green plus sign), there’s no way to get Scrivener to show the PDF files in the folder on my HDD from which I’d like to add a file. There doesn’t seem to be an “all files” type to search for, either.

Have I gone crazy? Did I do this some other way in the past and that’s why I have PDFs in this project? I do this quite often in the early stages of a writing project so I am very confused.

Do you have the Draft or one of its subitems selected when you’re choosing Import > Files…? Only text items can be imported here, so PDFs wouldn’t show. Try selecting the Research folder and then using that option.

That indeed was the issue. :blush: I thought I was in research, but I guess not!
…I’ll show myself the door… :arrow_right:

Ha, I love easy-to-fix bugs. :wink: Glad you’ve got it working now.
