Scrip & notes GONE!

[dennis7490]

I went to open a script and it's a big, white blank page. Everything is gone??? Help?

[dennis7490]

Okay. i went to back-ups and got it back. But there are 2 back-ups that are identical. one has a line of numbers and other is the title of the script. What's the difference?

[dennis7490]

Okay. I've restored it. but, how do I delete an entire script with notes, etc., as I know have duplicates, and one is an older version?

[dennis7490]

Never mind. Got it figured out. it was a self tutorial!

Hi Dennis,

 

I'm glad you were able to restore your script from a backup. I'm not sure I understand what you mean when you say you have duplicates. Did you copy the old script into your current project or do you have multiple copies of the project and are wondering what to do with the old one?

 

I'd be happy to take a look at the project if you'd like. If so, let me know and I'll PM you my email address.

Steve,

 

Thanks so much. I deleted the old copies, and since i had a back-up both in Storyist and on a flash drive I'm okay for now. I got a fright when i opened it and the screen was just white, although it did have the very top bar with Storyist, file, etc. up there.

it could be the way I'm working on this script. It's a bit backward.

I write it in Final Draft.

All of my notes are in Storyist.

When i finish writing for the day I import the new copy from FD and delete the old copy.

 

I know this sounds backwards, but it works for me, because if I want to read a note while writing it's easier to pop into Storyist, read the note, then go back to FD to my exact location. Also, Storyist imports from FD impeccably.

 

ciao for now
