yannl Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 I like the Storyist stats, but I did not find anywhere the actual "words per day" breakdown. It's important for me to know that I write 100 words yesterday instead of 1000. Knowing I did not reach my goal is not enough. It would be nice to have this information available somewhere. And a project stat ALWAYS available on the right panel or with a shortcut would change my life. In Scrivener I just press shift cmd T and I get my stats (but not as good as yours). In storyist I need to select the project, see the stats and get back to my text (Or I did not find a faster way) Scrivener CMD SHIFT T and...

Rusty Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Your word count per day is found under the calendar or stats icon. I added the project stats to my status bar for easy access. (alt+click on the status bar to customize) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yannl Posted September 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Well sorry I can't find it. I see the count for today, but I cannot click on days in the calendar and see how many I wrote that particular day. Can I ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Nope, sorry, I misunderstood. Check out my tip for easier viewing of your stats though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courtney Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 I second this Rusty. It would be really good to know exactly how far I've got and to be able to check back on previous days targets. I usually take a quick look at the end of the day but I'm a night owl and most of the time I write from 8pm to 1am. Take tonight for example, I was really keen to see how much I'd written to see how far I was from my target but by the time I flipped back the clock had struck midnight and my word could was 1. I've no idea how many words I did yesterday. I don't think I'm the only night owl out there either - it's the most quiet time in the house. More depressing than this, the other day I wrote about 2500 words but I deleted 5000. According to my word count my daily target for the day was -2500! That was pretty depressing. It shows as a red blotch on my calendar now and yet it was my most productive day of the week. An option to have the daily word count up in the status bar would be a nice alternative if it's not possible to look back a previous days totals. Guess we can't have everything. A.

nen1000 Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Not to decry the request, but it is worth bearing in mind that the net total (-2500 in the above example) is useful when editing; if I'm cutting some scenes, adding material to others, the overall change is a useful headline figure. But more information on what has been added and when would be useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yannl Posted September 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 Well I personally like to see where I stand. Scrivener has this nice option in stats when you can choose to count or not the deleted words and to reset at midnight or not :-) And again.... with a simple shortcut. No need to go to the right place to find my stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 I should also like word counts from my iOS devices to count when I open the story file on Mac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
