Hi, Hoping a Scrivener expert can help me out. This is driving me nuts. If you create a new blank project in Scrivener you get a draft (manuscript) folder, a research folder and a trash folder. How do you create a new folder outside the draft folder ie on the same level as research and trash. The help file within Scrivener says to click outside the binder and then add a new folder but that does not work. The add folder does nothing as far as I can see unless you click somewhere in the binder. Then of course the new folder becomes a subfolder of the item you have clicked on in the binder. I am sure there must be a simple solution but if so I cannot find it. TIA
I'm far from an expert, but I do use Scrivener, and I've made folders all over the place. I'm pretty sure the way I did it was to right-click on the Research folder and then click Duplicate. It makes another Research folder, and you can just change the name.
Oh good question. I wonder if it's actually different though, or if it's just the common problem that right-click on a PC = control-click on a Mac? It's either control or command, I don't remember which. I use what amounts to a PC keyboard on a Mac.
Xoic - thanks for the reply but right click>duplicate did not work for me in Scrivener 3. I should have said I watched the L&L tutorial as well as consulting their help file. It looked as though you could promote a subfolder by dragging it to the left but that does not work either. I have however found a tutorial on the internet this morning which does work. You can promote a subfolder by selecting it and hitting Ctrl and left arrow (Windows). Easy when you know how but why do L&L have help files and videos that are simply wrong.
