Thanks for your patience. </p> http://writingoutliner.com/forum/topic/bug-in-1520790#post-1221 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 17:16:13 +0000 grahamrhind 1221@http://writingoutliner.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>The more stable version you have just released seems to have a major problem. When I close a project I am working on, WO crashes, and the name of the project I have just worked on disappears from the projects list. To continue I have to close Word and restart it.</p> <p>No work is lost, but it's a pain in the ****.

Edwin, as you develop the new version please see that it continues to work well with Zotero. This, for me, is the big advantage over Scrivener (and it might be also for many other academics frustrated with Scrivener's lack of compatibility with Zotero). Thanks! I'm really liking the program. </p> http://writingoutliner.com/forum/topic/using-old-word-documentsending-up-with-multiple-copies#post-1208 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 02:42:44 +0000 EnergizerGirl 1208@http://writingoutliner.com/forum/ <p>Edwin--this is WONDERFUL news.

Yes, would love to....but neither WO nor I actually remember or track WHERE those original files are! So each time I would have to navigate/click to the correct folder where the files are....if there are 15 documents in WO, with the originals in different folders according to function, that is a nightmare. </p> <p>I think this was Problem 5 I listed: </p> <p>"PROBLEM 5 I could manually export each document back to where it was imported and overwrite it...except that the Outliner program and I have no idea what folder the original one is stored in!!!!!</p> <p>I would have to go thru the export process for EACH document in the project file and copy over the original one? That could be ok...except the program seems to automactically open to a generic folder to save things, so it doesn't even remember where the imported document comes from..neither do I!"</p> <p>For example:<br /> ArticleB (import from C:\Documents\Bookideas\ArticleB.doc)<br /> ArticleC (import from C:\Documents\Magazines\Summer2011\ArticleC.doc)<br /> PublisherListD (import from C:\Documents\Resources\PublisherListD.doc)</p> <p>these are all in differnt folders, and clicking to each one and drilling down multiple layers would take forever so that they would be synced. Can WO do this for me? Could it remember where they came from?<br /> **************************************************<br /> Option 2) Again, if I understand correctly... you are saying to just create project folders and dump all the "old" documents in there so I can sync/export them as needed. So in this case:</p> <p>PublisherListD (1st) in C:\Documents\Resources\PublisherListD.doc<br /> PublisherListD (2nd) in C:\Documents\BookA\BookA.worp = now revised and contained within the project.</p> <p>just move the "PublisherListD" into the .worp file versus the Resources file.</p> <p>(If I got that right) that is kind of an obvious solution...but it wouldn't work in my case. I have thousands of files, and right now they are in folders according to their "use"/department etc. So "PublisherListD" is in the Resources file. Moving it to "BookA" project (saved to C:\Documents\BookA\BookA.worpj)file wouldn't be efficient. When I need to find a Publisher List I have to (hope) to remember it is in Book A file. What if I am on Book Q? Which one is it in? </p> <p>Folder categories make it easier to find things. Resources, Proposals, Marketing Materials, Timelines, WO Projects, etc. are ways you can find things. When you move the documents to a recent project you can't find them, unless they are ONLY associated with that project.</p> <p>Sorry for the long posts. Still LOVE this software and want it to be the BEST! </p> http://writingoutliner.com/forum/topic/work-lost#post-1176 Sat, 08 Oct 2011 23:07:31 +0000 D Mons 1176@http://writingoutliner.com/forum/ <p>I'm using the last version : 1.5.19.768 </p> http://writingoutliner.com/forum/topic/work-lost#post-1175 Sat, 08 Oct 2011 21:55:56 +0000 admin 1175@http://writingoutliner.com/forum/ <p>Hi David,</p> <p>Can you tell me what version of Writing Outliner are you using? Thanks. </p> http://writingoutliner.com/forum/topic/work-lost#post-1173 Sat, 08 Oct 2011 03:27:57 +0000 D Mons 1173@http://writingoutliner.com/forum/ <p>Hi Edwin,</p> <p>I lost the changes done on a document. It already happened 3 times in the past and now I'm sure it's because of a bug. I don't know exactly what cause the loss but I think there are 2 possibilities :<br /> - I opened the doc in two different tabs, and work only on one.<br /> - I copied a doc in the same project and kepp the same doc name that the original.<br /> It happened in 3 different projects in the past. It's a scary to lose my work and not knowing what to do to prevent it. </p> http://writingoutliner.com/forum/topic/support-for-64-bit#post-1171 Tue, 04 Oct 2011 11:49:24 +0000 admin 1171@http://writingoutliner.com/forum/ <p>@Andrej,</p> <p>It would not be too much work on my side, however, I have to wait for all the 3rd party 'software library' vendors to upgrade their SDK to support 64bit first, before I can start the work for 64bit Office support, hopefully, I expect in half of a year they all will provide new versions of the SDK's that Writing Outliner relies on. </p> http://writingoutliner.com/forum/topic/support-for-64-bit#post-1170 Tue, 04 Oct 2011 03:07:29 +0000 Andrej 1170@http://writingoutliner.com/forum/ <p>It's OK, Edwin, I'm not blaming you, you have always clearly stated that your program is for Word 32-bit only, I just never paid attention because I used to have an old machine with Windows and Office XP and it wasn't relevant anyway. I'm just sorry because I really got used to your program for creative work and now after purchasing a new beast with complete 64-bit MS software (which improved everything else) it's a disappointment.<br /> A silly question, since I'm not a programmer - does developing a version compatible with 64-bit Word involve a complete repogramming of Writing Outliner, or is it more or less a matter of compiling? How soon do you think your hitherto very happy clients can expect the 64-bit-compatible version?<br /> Best, Andrej </p>
