Hi Bart, The easiest way to get a copy of the template is to create a new project using it and save it to disk. You can then send the project file to others. When they open the project, they can use File > Save as Template to add it to their template collection. -Steve

Hi Deliverer, It is. Just make sure smart quotes are enabled (Edit > Substitutions > Smart Quotes). -Steve

Hi Deliverer, Both Storyist for macOS and Storyist for iOS are in active development. With all of the changes to macOS and iOS, many of the recent updates are under the hood, but you'll see some new features later this summer. -Steve

Hi Steve,
Was the following ever resolved? Did you manage to update the iOS version to remember the previous screen config? This is critical (for me, no sweat for anyone else) at the moment:
Steve,
is there anyway to set a document to always open in this outline/notecard view? For example, I have a "scene list" document, but it always opens as a text field which I then have to go through the steps you list to view it in outline (left hand side) and note cards (right hand) side. Would be nice to have a way to tell it this is the default way I want to see this document
Not currently. I know the extra taps become cumbersome if you have to perform them every time you open the document and hope to address that in 1.2 by having Storyist restore your last view configuration.

Hi Jez,
Yes, Storyist remembers the inspector settings (Outline, Cards, Comments) for you and restores them when you switch back to the app from another app. When you close the document and reopen it, Storyist will first show the project view, and tapping the inspector button (i) then shows the last inspector setting.

How do I export a complete project from iPad storyist?
Steve replied to Renton's topic in Using Storyist
Hi Renton, What format do you want the exported project to have? If you just want a backup of the files, you can copy the file in Finder. If you want copies of your text files in another format (rtf, plain text, etc...), use File > Export, select the files you want to include, choose "Files" from the export popup, choose the type, check the "Preserve folder structure" checkbox, and save to disk. This will create a folder with the same structure as your project. If you want to create an ePub or PDF of the selected files, choose "Book" in the export popup. -Steve -
Moving Chapters from One Text File to Another
Steve replied to SchecterOmen's topic in Feature Requests
Thanks for the feature request. By the way, an easier way to split a file is to position the cursor at the point you want to split and choose Edit > Tools > Split Text File at Selection. -Steve -
Thanks for the report. I can reproduce this and will investigate. If it's a Storyist issue, I'll fix it for the next release. If it's an Apple issue, I'll file a bug report. -Steve

Hi rpkraul, There isn't currently a way to export individual chapters (outline levels) from a text file. However, it's on the list as a feature request. In the meantime, if you need this functionality only occasionally, you can copy the chapter to a separate file and export that. If this is something you do frequently, you might want to explore splitting up the text file by placing the cursor at the start of each chapter and choosing Edit > Tools > Split Text File at Selection. -Steve

Hi RafiOasis, Thank you for the info. I'll check the crash reports. Does the problem occur in Storyist 4? Storyist 3 was last updated in 2018 and doesn't have support for OS versions that Apple released after that date. Also, does the problem occur in just one file, or in any files created from one of the templates? If it's just one file, I'd be happy to take a look at the file for you. If you'd like me to do that, you can send it to me at [email protected]. -Steve

Sorry, these instructions were for the Mac version. On iOS: Create your title page in a separate file. Open your manuscript, tap the title, and choose Export. Choose PDF as the export format. Tap Add Title Page and select Choose from Project. Choose the title page you created in step 1. -Steve
-
Hi Tony, If you just want a title page for your manuscript, just put the title page in a separate file. To create a PDF with the title page, Choose File > Export. Select both the title page and your manuscript. Choose "Book" as the export type. Choose Portable Document Format (.pdf) as the format. If you want more control over the page numbering (say you want to number the front matter differently), you can use the PDF book editor to accomplish this. Check out these tutorials: Working with Styles Creating PDFs for Print Customizing Your Book Design -Steve

Hi RafiOasis, What version of Storyist are you running? If you're running the current version (4.3.7), please send the crash report to [email protected] and I'd be happy to take a look at it for you. -Steve

Hi Scruffy, Agreed. Equations aren't a part of standard Markdown. What "flavor" do you use? -Steve
-
Hi Scruffy, Yes. Select the image, right click, and choose Set Image Size. The interface lists the size in points, but you can type in inches/cm and it'll do the conversion for you. -Steve
-
Hi Scruffy, Yes, that's a limitation of Apple's HTML importer, which doesn't follow links for images or other content. You should see the same results in TextEdit. What are you trying to import? Storyist can also import RTFD, which includes images, and RTF with embedded images, such as you might get from Microsoft Word. -Steve
