I’d like to do that, but before I do, I’m too heavily tied into Scrivener 1.x to risk an upgrade. Now I can keep the two versions separate in my application folder, but how is it with the folder under Library/Application Support/Scrivener? Will the new version use …/Scrivener2 or something, or must I save my …/Scrivener folder before starting the new version?
That’s a good point, actually. They use different preferences files, but 2.0 will try to move a lot of the files in Application Support to make it accessible to 2.0. You could try backing up the Application Support/Scrivener folder and then copying back in the folders after you’ve opened Scrivener 2.0 for the first time. I’m not 100% sure that will do the trick, but it’s worth a try if you really need everything in the Application Support folder available to both versions - it could definitely be problematic though. (The trouble is that while an extra preferences file takes up only a few KBs, I wouldn’t really want to clutter up the user’s Application Support folder with another folder.)
Thanks,
Keith
