Is it possible to have wordwrap for titles of files in Outliner and Binder? There doesn’t seem to be an option for it, and I find that sometimes when the title is too long, it just gets cut off, and I would prefer to have wordwrap. I understand that in Binder view that may not be a desirable behavior since it won’t look as neat as the current uniform single-lined horizontal bars. But in Outline view, since the texts in the Synopsis box will change the height of each entry and has wordwrap, it makes perfect sense to also allow wordwrap in the title text box. This has bugged me ever since day one of using Scrivener, and I just want to bring it up and see if something could be done about it.
Wrapping isn’t possible in the binder because of the list style it uses, but it will be coming to the outliner in a future update as part of combining the title and synopsis columns.
Are you positive? AFAIK in the Mac the titles do not wrap either on the Outliner, only on the Corkboard.
I’m positive. Are you on Mac 2.6?
That’s good to know. I’m looking forward to the update!
If you turn off inline synopses in the Outliner then titles will truncate, maybe that’s the problem?
In Outliner, I have Title, Synopsis, and Status turned on. Everything else is turned off.
Sorry, that was directed to r6d2, who wasn’t seeing wrapping appear in the Mac version.
Thanks, Ioa, I forgot hiding the synopses made a difference.
Me too
Thank you both! There’s hardly a day when I don’t learn (or re-learn) something new on this forum.
Whatever happened to this feature? It’s been more than 4 years. Is it still on the road map to be added? It is still the most annoying thing about Scrivener for me, and I would be so happy if it were to be fixed.
Have you checked in the latest public beta? I’m pretty sure most of this is working now, in particular the notion to combine title and synopsis into one combined editing area, with word wrapping enabled.
I just downloaded the latest beta and yep, it’s there! I don’t think it was in the earlier versions I tried?
Is there any way to change the text color in the outliner for title? I can change the synopsis text’s color, but not the title.
All colour settings are in the Appearance settings tab. If there isn’t a control there yet, there will be.
Hi,
I would love to have word wrapping without synopsis. I work on a 13" screen and like to see all my titles aside the current text I’m working on – and some titles are long, and my synopsis even more.
It would be perfect in the binder, but it seems to be impossible. Is it still, though ?
Thanks !
