Sudden Problems Adding Pictures

Hello everyone.

All of a sudden I’m having a problem dragging and dropping pictures into the inspector side bar for my character sketches. Before this week, I was able to bring them in with no problem but now I can’t. I’ve also tried different pictures with no success. The pictures are coming from a folder on my hard drive that is no where near the folder of my project. Can anyone shed some light on this? Am I perhaps missing something? My OS is Windows 7. Thanks.

Sorry you’re having problems Karen. What version of Scrivener are you using?

I’m using version 1.0.3.

Karen
wild guess, but perhaps your setting is not in image mode.
check my screengrab and see if it helps-- I’ve added the 2 red arrows to the screengrab to point out where to look
Setting #1 gives a black area where you can drag an image
Setting #2 gives a text area (default is white background with blue lines, but I’ve set mine to a color)

click one of the gray up or down arrows to change from text to image

Thanks Marta,
I also had the same problem. My next questions is, how do I get that to print in the story? I added it to the text and when I compile it, the photo seems to get overlooked and doesn’t show up? Advise?

Put the image in the text, not in the Synopsis. Use the File > insert > options in the menu for different ways to insert an image in the Editor.

Thanks for the clarification! It works!! awesome :smiley: ty
