Not sure if this is available in current version (if it is, I don’t see it).
In Manuscript folder, if I have say 20 chapter folders, and each chapter has say 5 scenes h(and lets say all up, it’s 100k words.
Now, if I click on Manuscript and perform a (Ctl-F) find, and search for a word (and it’s then highlighted) …
It would be nice to see where I am now located within the manuscript. For instance, maybe the scene could be ghost-highlighted in the left-hand chapter/scene list. Or maybe the chapter/scene (whatever) could be shown somewhere easy to see. at the moment, I have no way to determine where the word is located within the overall manuscript.
Kind regards
But you can do this. On Mac, use the menu command Navigate->Reveal In Binder, or the keyboard combo opt-cmd-r. I’m reasonably sure this is available in the Windows beta, but having no Windows machine, I can’t tell you the exact menu item or key combo. In the release Windows version (1.9.xx) the information is:
Hope this helps!
Yes, Reveal in Binder remains available in the Windows beta and uses the same keyboard shortcut. The 3.0 version will also add a couple of extra features that will help with the original wish. One, the current editor document indicator, is basically what was suggested–a slightly more subtle indicator in the binder highlighting the focussed document in the active editor. Additionally, in Scrivenings mode (such as described here–loading the full manuscript in the editor) the editor header bar will name both the loaded folder as well as the currently focussed document in the session, so that will be another indicator of the current document.
In the 1.x version, the Reveal in Binder option Silverdragon suggests is probably the best fit, as it will highlight your document in the binder and give you that full outliner context you’re looking for. Another option is to keep the inspector open, so that the title of the currently focussed document in the Scrivenings session is visible.
