Quick question. I’m currently operating in split view. One of the windows displays a folder selected in the binder. The folder has several subdocuments, and these are all displayed in scrivenings mode, which is exactly as I want it. I transfer focus to the other window, fiddle around a bit and then go back to the first window. When I select Reveal in Binder to remind me which folder I’m working on, only the document that the caret is currently situated in is highlighted in the Binder, not the top level folder - even though all of the folders contents are shown in scrivenings. Is there any way to get Reveal in Binder to highlight the folder, rather than the document?
It does indeed help Briar, thank you. Looking a little more closely at this, I think what I was doing occasionally was selecting all sub documents rather than the folder, and then getting the Multiple Selection - [doc title here] in the header bar. Reveal in Binder then highlights the doc that the caret is currently in rather than all the selected docs. Which is as it should be, because when using split screen on a 13" monitor, the actually document name in Multiple Selection can be cut off.
When I have the top level folder selected, then that’s what Reveal in Binder highlights. Problem solved!
View > Reveal in Binder (Opt-Cmd-R) always reveals the focussed document in the editor, so it will show whichever document in the Scrivening session has focus (where your insertion point is) whether you’ve loaded a multiple selection or a single container in a group view mode. If you select Reveal in Binder from the editor header icon, that will reveal “what’s loaded in the editor” so to speak: it will select all the documents in a multiple selection or the container in a composite.
Thanks very much MM, that explains a lot. After my initial exchange above I was starting to get confused by the different results I was seeing when using the two different ways of invoking Reveal in Binder. Is this an intentional design choice? Seems a bit strange to have two commands with the same name give different results.
