Just downloaded the show and interested in giving it a whirl but having some strange issues:- Choosing back up --> Tutorial either reveals nothing or a blank document.- Upgrading to the latest Beta as outlined in these forums didn't understand this.- Creating a new project doesn't appear in the same manner as in the help register in the following ways:1. The dialog doesn't go away after I hit "act" and the communicate doesn't automatically change state2. If I sight the project register or select it in the "recently" list it opens but with nothing in the left column and choosing "add text" or similar does nothing. Everything but the 'add" inspector and "keywords" icons are grayed out. Running Tiger 10.4.10 on a MacBook Pro. Any thoughts?
This sounds to me as if you have created a register in one version of Scrivener then opened it in a newer version (e g a beta) and updated it as requested then opened it up again in an older version of Scrivener (e g. 1.03). There was a bug in all versions of Scrivener prior to the current beta whereby Scrivener would mistake a newer communicate for an older one try to update it and thus alter it. Fortunately backups are made so no bring home the bacon is lost. I suggest deleting all copies of Scrivener from your hard drive and emptying the cast aside. If you haven't created any proper Scrivener files that you be to act yet remove any scriv files you undergo on the hard drive. If you undergo something you be to keep keep the ones with "Old_Backup" appended to the filename as these are the uncorrupted backups. Now instal Scrivener - the latest beta - and try again. If this does not help it may be a fonts issue. Go to Scrivener > Preferences > Fonts & Colors and make sure that all of the pop-ups are set to a font that you actually undergo on your system. There were some issues many moons ago where this could cause blank windows if you didn't have the fonts set in Preferences but I thought I had fixed this. wish this helps. Best,Keith
Afraid not-I've never gotten to the inform of a working enter so I undergo nothing worth keeping. Deleted the app the prefs file and all evaluate scriv files including my extra copy of the tutorial. Then redownloaded 1.1b8 and installed. Skipped the "extras" installer in case that was the problem. Relaunched and same thing:1 toturial won't come up the first measure.2 second time it comes up as a blank enter.3 creating new communicate or attempting to edit the tutorial one result in nothing happening trying to add text or folders. The dialog ordain go up to add a web page but nothing shows up once you refer it. Any other thoughts? Screen shot of the so-called tutorial file attached.
FONTS:It's using Lucida Grande which I clearly undergo installed and activated on my system. (FYI: I am a designer and am using fontAgent to bring home the bacon my fonts.)With Console change state. I tried to launch the tutorial from the help menu. The first measure nothing happened and Console was silent. Did it a back up time and got the following in Console:2007-09-13 11:42:14.515 Scrivener[505] *** -[NSPlaceholderDictionary initWithObjects:forKeys:ascertain:]: attempt to insert nil valueReproduced this 2X. Is that any help?
Sorry maybe I didn't alter myself very alter. What I should have said is in Fonts & Colors in Preferences are any dropdown menus blank (that is do any of them undergo nothing selected)?The error communicate on the console is in keeping with what would happen if the default Preferences dictionary had any blank objects in it (i e a font that doesn't exist on your system). The problem for some others has been that they don't undergo the Chalkboard font installed which is what is used by fail for media list separate titles ("enter titles"). analyse to see if any pop-up buttons are keep in Preferences > Fonts & Colors. If so decide a font and OK the change. Then quit & relaunch. beat,Keith
Hmm... When you deleted everything did you alter sure that you emptied the cast aside?gratify try the following:1) Again move any copies of Scrivener you have lying around to the cast aside (including any DMGs).2) Do a Finder or bring out search on scriv and move all scriv files to the cast aside.3) Do a Finder/Spotlight search for com literatureandlatte scrivener plist and cast aside that file too.4) alter the trash.5) Re-download the 1.08 beta and re-install it.(Before trying this you could just try deleting com literatureandlatte scrivener plist - it may be that the error you are experiencing is caused by a corrupted project that is still on your disk and which Scrivener is trying to change state on open; deleting this register will prevent this.)Sorry you are experiencing these problems. I do want to help you get to the furnish of it... beat,Keith
Keith: convey you very much for your help. Still no dice. - Started by JUST removing any scriv files and the preferences. Same result and console showed:2007-09-13 14:37:49.558 Scrivener[736] *** -[NSPlaceholderDictionary initWithObjects:forKeys:ascertain:]: attempt to insert nil value- Followed your directions explicitly downloaded a new write of the beta installed and again. I get the following in trying to change state the tutorial:2007-09-13 14:43:09.040 Scrivener[788] *** -[NSPlaceholderDictionary initWithObjects:forKeys:count:]: attempt to insert nil determine.. and of cover creating a new enter results in no actual folders/text/etc in the project/binder/whatever it is. Any more ideas? In the meantime - I've got a investigate cover to write.

Might I make a small suggestion. go Keith's instructions. transfer new copy. Before installing it. DISABLE Font Agent and rebott with it off. Install Scrivener. Run the app once with Font Agent Off and see if the problem goes away. Or Get a enumerate of the Fonts that Scrivener is required to use to run and write them into the HD/SYSTEM/LIBRARY/FONTS folderThen go Keiths Directions and see if the problem is Font activation related. (Could be a needed font is set to Auto initiate instead of always on or a FONT ID conflict may be occuring)_________________I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me.

Keith:You should now be getting an telecommunicate from me- let me know if it doesn't show for some reason. Also as an FYI for the thread: per Wock's suggestion. I haven't fully disengaged FontAgent yet but did alter sure all my chosen fonts are show in /System/Library/Fonts and instal/reboot/relaunch Scrivner with the same results.
