StuartNorfolk Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Hi everyone, I am new to Storyist, so please forgive me if this question has already been asked a dozen times before. I'm currently working on a novel within Scrivener. I want to import the same novel into Storyist. In Scrivener I've completed extensive notes located in the Inspector > Document Notes to the right of the main pane for each attached scene. However, when I import said novel into Storyist, I cannot locate the notes from Scrivener. It appears, at first, glance to have stripped them out unless I'm mistaken. Am I missing something? Thanks in anticipation, Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Hi Stuart, You're not missing anything. Scrivener's rich text Document Notes and Project Notes are not currently imported when the Scrivener project is opened as a Storyist project. If there is enough interest, Storyist could probably create Section Sheets or separate notes files for this data, but it doesn't do so currently. The easiest way to get the data in now is probably copy/paste into a new file in Storyist or keep the info in Scrivener comments instead. Scrivener comments are preserved. -Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuartNorfolk Posted January 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Thanks very much for your informative reply Steve. Copying and pasting into the comments section of scrivener and then importing seems to do the trick. I'm sure I'm not alone in my desire to wanting the coders to come up with Section Sheets to support the document notes section in Scrivener.

Steve Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Hi Stuart, I would be the coder :-) It's a reasonable request. I'll keep track of this one and try to let you know if/when I'm able to add support. -Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuartNorfolk Posted January 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Thanks, Steve. One last question: I'm considering buying the iOS version. Is that a paired down version of Storyist for Mac i.e. will it import all the various Scrivener files one would associate with the Mac version - in particular, the 'Comments' attribute's, the principle subject of this forum question?

Steve Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Hi Stuart, Storyist for iOS doesn't convert Scrivener files to Storyist files like the Mac version does, but it can edit Scrivener files natively. -Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
