Scrivener 3.1.3 Change List
Refinements and Changes
Licensing and Activation
- Scrivener’s licensing and activation system has been updated to work with our new e-commerce provider, Paddle.
Matching Texts Feature
- Added a new “Matching Texts” feature to the Bookmarks area of the Inspector in the main window. This lists all documents that share a paragraph or sentence with the current document. Double-clicking a result selects matching text in the main editor.
Corkboard Threaded View
- Added a new corkboard preference, “Compress threads when arranged by label”. This is turned on by default, and interleaves cards on the board so that they take up less space when “Arrange by Label” is turned on.
Import
- The native .docx importer now correctly reads text inserted in Word during Track Changes.
- The native .docx importer now decreases the font size of superscript text.
Styles
- Made improvements to the way styles are removed. Character styles can now be removed more easily when a paragraph style is present, and direct character formatting is no longer removed when resetting to “No Style”.
Searching
- Quick Search now treats curly and straight apostrophes and quotes as though they are the same.
- Asterisks are no longer highlighted in the editor when using an asterisk project search to find any match.
- Optimised and increased speed of “Find Duplicates”.
- When finding duplicates, the alternating row colours used in the search colours alternate between duplicate blocks rather than between each row.
MultiMarkdown
- Copy as Markdown now converts footnotes and removes comments.
- Other minor improvements to Copy as Markdown.
- Enclosing annotation markers are now escaped when exporting MMD files.
- “Save source files” for the MultiMarkdown format in Compile is now dependent on the “Post-process” setting rather than the “Use Pandoc syntax” setting.
Compile
- Improvements made to “Fix script elements that flow across page breaks”.
- If Kindle Previewer is installed, Scrivener now uses kindlegen from inside that to generate Kindle files, rather than requiring a separate kindlegen installation. (Kindle Previewer contains a newer, 64-bit version of kindlegen which is not currently available on Amazon’s website as a separate download.)
- Removed the “At <!--ENDNOTES--> marker” option from plain text and RTFD Compile options, since it does nothing - the marker always overrides the options selected there if it exists.
- Improved the dual dialogue option for print and PDF to work with formats other than only Screenplay, such as US Stage Play format.
Miscellaneous
- The total word count is now given in parentheses after the selection word count in the footer bar (as long as only one count type is shown and not both words and characters).
- The text fields in the image resizing panel now have a hard minimum of 25 points (previously the minimum may be higher, and different from what could be achieved with the sliders).
- It is now possible to copy and paste label, status and auto-complete items between the Project Settings of different projects.
- Added extra code to ensure the session count resets when a project is opened if the reset time passed while the project was closed.
- Added “Back Up All Projects Now” as an alternate to “Back Up Now” in the “Back Up” menu (hold down Option to turn “Back Up Now” into “Back Up All Projects Now”.
- Opt-dragging into collections now acts consistently, always including subdocuments of folders, even when dragging into the cork board or outliner (which previously worked differently).
-
Bugs Fixed
Major (Stability)
- Fixed bug whereby Scrivener could crash if a Revision Mode was invoked while Linguistic Focus was open.
- Fixed bug that could cause a crash or hang when importing certain .docx files using either the Aspose or native importers.
- Fixed bug that could cause an exception to be thrown by Compile when styles were set both to delete text and add prefixes or suffixes.
- Fixed bug whereby keywords could
