![]() He brings some arguments in the line of that old “a db for IM is just an additional subsystem in the file system, and thus to be avoided” (I don’t find the author of that essay currently, please help me out it goes without saying that IM DBs like Ultra Recall - which I recommend - deploy their back-end db, SQLite’s full text search, to “imported” or “linked” documents like pdfs, etc., thus partly invalidating the old “avoid IM DB’s” argument). for some “Winter/Sommer” fest, twice a year Win licence not transferable to Mac, nor vv.) (Btw, their pricing of 49 bucks you’ll find all over the place, is now 59, with minus 25 p.c. for the better, traditional “text processors”, which now come with some outlining (he doesn’t mention “Atlantis”, but that one’s among those). of them to women I suppose…) shares my advice: Do NOT buy Scrivener: but he arguments along his way of writing - outlining as a waterfall model, not iteratively -, which might not apply to the majority of writers or “writers” thus, he preaches for MS Word, etc., i.e. “Max Tucker” but Tucker “What Women Want” Max, and he should know indeed, 5 million novel books sold, 80 p.c. Scriv comes WITH coloring and filtering, it’s just a bloody mess, as far as I am (and some others are) concerned: ![]() ![]() My impression: It’s very (!) pleasing, visually, and it’s certainly a joy to play around with, but having not trialed it, I don’t know how easy “construction work” within Aeon would be, vs “constructing” within Scriv / Uly, and then just “checking the results” in Aeon, but indeed, for Scriv or Uly users, it might be a “natural” purchase indeed, since the data transfer in both directions is described (sic!) as seamless for users of other writing tools, the hassle of (more or less manual syncing) is probably not worth it - when juggling between the tools is instantly, WITH the data synced, ok, why not otherwise it’s procrastination (my stance here is similar to what I now think of “Mind Maps”: for presentation purposes, especially if you don’t display them but gradually, they are (often) very good, but for “constructing” purposes, they represent more “clutter” for me than anything else very visually-minded people may have a totally different “user experience” though) as I said over there, UR offers me a quite detailed (vertical) “timeline”, just by coloring and then filtering by those formats (see also below). I’m looking forward to it.Īt 12:33 Interesting find! Motivated by what you had told me/us about current Aeon, I had looked quite extensively into the current Aeon documentation, and overlooked that… it goes without saying that thus, whilst the writer is very (!) limited by that limit, the coder’s code is much (!) simpler for an add-on purchase, deemed to overcome the possible limits of Scriv’s in-built “timeline”, that’s unacceptable. There have been rumors Aeon 3 will be in beta soon. Would the time span of the child events appear in Scrivener as the start and end times? I could exclude child events and just sync chapter events. It occurs to me, though, that it might work to have a “Chapter 1” event in Aeon that was the parent to the individual events in that chapter. Regarding tree structure, one of the things that I didn’t like about the Aeon-Scrivener formation flight was one timeline event per chapter seemed limiting. The “no style” paradigm for default text bugs me, and the compile process is too much of a one-man-band for my taste.īut don’t listen to me - Scrivener is a writer’s friend. Fine product, wonderful vendor, but I’m an odd duck. Hmmm… I have fallen off the Scrivener bandwagon with great regret. Scrivener’s not good enough, had been my “resume” from that, but as always, I tried to be as constructive as I ever can be.) (And yes, my allegations over there had been prompted by some co-contributor’s to this forum’s, experiences with “Aeon”, in the latter’s forum. I once said, here - I cite from memory -, “writers should just adopt Scriveners, be good, and start writing” - I hadn’t been aware, at the time, that Scrivener, as well as “Ulysses App”, seemingly does NOT allow for user-sided tree elements formatting, so I made a post to which might be of interest to writers not yet feeling the urge to individually format their tree entries. ![]() Tree elements' formatting (Scrivener, "Aeon") - The Wolf!
