Someone HAS to provide a solution for this. I don’t know how I can use any other writing program since I use Scriv for so much, and all my files are finalized in it. THOUSANDS.
More details. Not responding how? Version of Windows? Any changes to your system lately?
Are you talking about freezing and being unresponsive?
If so, that was happening to me if Scrivener was open when computer went into sleep mode. Would function when machine woke but sometimes jammed. Now shutdown when done rather then close automatically after X minutes.
In addition to @ruffpub and @GoalieDad’s questions … please could you explain exactly what happens before you see the problem?
- do you close Scrivener and your project often and if so how often?
- Do you rely on Scrivener to close automatically?
- If a laptop, do you close the lid when Scrivener running or synching?
- What version of Windows and Scrivener are you running?
- Is there some sort of hardware issue or system problem?
- How much free memory and disk space is available on your computer?
- have you recently re-booted the machine?
- Any other apps also exhibiting the same problem?
- Do you have Scrivener backups set to run automatically on open and/or close and to where have you directed those backups? A folder synced with a third-party cloud syncing service?
- Where is/are your project/projects stored? In a local folder on your computer that is synched with a third-party cloud synching service
- If using third-party syncing, what vendor?
- anything else pertinent?
