Changing the name of a label causes Scrivener to take a snapshot of documents of that label when taking a snapshot of documents that changed since last manual save is linked to manual save.
Although I can’t find any. I think the software is only pretending to take those snapshots.
It’ll say “21 snapshots taken” but comparing before/after zipped backups, the file’s size is the same, and those snapshots are nowhere to be found.
Where are you seeing the report of how many snapshots have been taken? As that seems to be the only part of the bug (I cannot get the software to take a snapshot unless the main text content has changed), that’s the part to focus on, but I don’t actually know where that message appears!
Does it maybe require a fairly large project where taking a bunch of snapshots would take a long time? I tried in something with 71 items and 150k words in the draft, running a test by editing one item’s text, and then selecting the entire 71 and changing the label, then saving with the snapshot option enabled. I got one snapshot, and no messages about how many were taken.
In the flash notification in the corner.

Thanks! I’ve had that off for so many years I forgot it existed.
All right that should be enough to go on.
By the way, I since my initial post counted the number of documents assigned a specific label, and the number of reported snapshots taken seems to be random. (I mean, in a given situation it is always the same — like above, I got 24 both times —, but that document count (with that one label) has nothing to do with it.)
In my above example, only 14 documents were assigned the modified label.
