Very new to Scrivener, but it has been working beautifully. However, beginning yesterday, when I open my project and start to work, it hangs (Little spinning wheel) on nearly every single edit or input I make. It hangs for anywhere from 15 - 30 seconds, then allows me to start working again.
In the last 2 hours, I bet I have done 15 minutes of actual work/writing…
Any ideas as to what could cause this? I have searched through the forums, but cannot find much on this type of situation. (However my search skills may not be up to par, so for that I apologize…)
If the problem appears to be project-specific, it might be some data was imported—perhaps a picture into an editor—that is problematic and giving the text engine some trouble. Since you mention it only started yesterday, one thing you could try mainly as a diagnostic step is to restore a copy of your project from before this started, and see if the problems persist there as well. Backups can be most easily located by clicking on the button to open a backup folder, in the Backup preference pane.
I had synced 1,000’s of pictures & Videos from Dropbox account with my MacBook Air and consumed nearly all of my Free Disk space. Once I changed my Sync settings, removed the vids/pics and free’d up space, Scrivener started working normally again…
