Does anyone have any experience with Scrivener (the writers program by
LIterature and Latte)?
Foxtrot will index a Scrivener file (*.scriv) and show that a particular
string is present. But it will not show a preview. The preview pane (on the
right of Foxtrot) just shows the spinning cog indicating that Foxtrot is
attempting to load something but not managing to do so.
This may be due to the complexity of scrivener files (some sort of package
- I'm not a techie so I don't know).
However, the spotlight 'front end' Houdahspot will show a 'text preview'
from inside the Scrivener file and highlight the string.
Is this one of the few instances where spotlight beats Foxtrot?
I'm trying the latest beta (7.0b7 build 2263) but I would stress that this
has always been an issue for me. I'm using Scrivener more and more and so
this problem as risen from the status of 'interesting quirk' to
'substantial irritation'
Best wishes to all in these difficult times
