![]() ![]() Anyhing I highlight on my iPad shows up on my Mac. Any highlights I make on my Mac become immediately available on iOS. I do a fair amount of reading on my iPad. I switched back to Papers primarily for synchronization. Highlighting in Papers 3Despite lacking the outstanding features of Skim, I am back to reading/highlighting in Papers. The software and utlities integral to this workflow are: I’ve written a bit about this before, but the process has evolved, so I am dedicating an entry to my updated workflow. I have a unique way of processing scholarly information, I am convinced it gives me an advantage when writing grants and manuscripts-allowing me to find specific notes and related information very quickly and efficiently without having to rely purely on memory. I’m going to continue to hold out for the real deal: Scrivener iOS. In every other aspect, I found Storyist inferior to the Dropbox text sync method I discussed in this entry. In fact, the only advantage I can see in using Storyist is the ability to read native Scrivener files. The lack of usable features and the unreliable sync of Storyist are deal killers for me. No matter how I tried, I was unable to resolve these conflicts.To make a long story short, I feel like I wasted $15. Instead, I saw file conflict notifications between the Mac and iPhone version of the section. I opened the Scrivener project on my Mac and opened the section I had edited on my phone-the edited text did not show up on my Mac. I waited for what seemed like several minutes for the file on my Mac to update. Many of the features of the Storyist software don’t work with native Scrivener files.I navigated down into the Drafts folder on my iPhone and typed some text. The folder hierarchy appeared identical on the phone as on Scrivener on my Mac. On my Mac, I set up an alias for a current Scrivener project and moved the native file to the Storyist Folder on ICloud Drive. Finally, I connected my phone to my Mac and iTunes.Lo and behold, a Storyist Folder appeared on the iCloud Drive on my Mac. ![]() ![]() I consulted the forums and saw that iCloud sync can take some time-up to several minutes. I followed the instructions in Storyist to set up iCloud Drive-the Storyist Folder showed up on my iPhone, but not on my Mac. I was disappointed.First i tried to enable DropBox sync in Storyist, but then realized Storyist requires the native Scrivener file to be saved on iCloud Drive. Full of anticipation, I plunked down my $15 and downloaded Storyist. Record record : The record to deconsolidate.As I wrote in my last entry, I was excited when I read Ricardo Sanchez’s article on the integration of Storyist and Scrivener. Creation/Modification dates, Spotlight comments and OpenMeta tags are immediately updated. *From the DEVONthink script dictionary: deconsolidate v : Move an internal/imported record (and its children) to the enclosing external folder in the filesystem. I have to believe that there is something else creating a problem here, but I’m at a loss as to what to suggest you try. See the pinned topic at the top of this forum here. I only stopped using it when the sync command was incorporated into DEVONthink. I also used a more complicated version of this script (included sync and deconsolidate commands) for a very long time on all my databases. There really isn’t anything to debug/troubleshoot to get working properly, and I’ve never seen DEVONthink remove any attached script from a group. When triggered, if the indexed group has internal records (documents and/or sub-folders), export them to the indexed group’s folder in the filesystem (Finder)*. The script is very basic, as it does only one thing. I would prefer to work within DTP but probably best I avoid moving folders and files within DTP until I get the script working properly. Tested editing sample documents through the DTP interface and using Preview as external editor and these edits/changes replicated ok. ![]() Indexing DTP with Finder folder and moving Finder folders below level 1 external of DTP works for me = DTP and Finder Folder & File alignment. Reassign lost Scripts to DTP folder 1-6 and check movement errorsĭTP files do not align with Finder folders 1-6 I seem to have the opposite where moving Finder folders works but moving DTP with the script does not ĭTP - collapse & expand database = no shadow files (if thats what they are called) and DTP files align with Finder folders 1-5įinder - move folders 1-5 and files individuallyĬheck if sync file error reproduces when file generated in DTP rather than Finderįinder - move folders 1-6 and files individuallyĪssign Script to DTP folder 1-6 and check movement errorsĭTP (Note ) = Scripts removed from DTP automatically = possible cause of problem Does the triggered sync script work as expected if you do not move any folders in the Finder? ![]()
