manuscripts scenes settings
What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?
When working on your manuscript, a Chapter (folder) can contain multiple Scenes (scene documents). In the presentation/view mode of the manuscript, these scenes aren't separated in any visible way. They are simply combined into seamless chapter text.- If you want a visual separation between your scenes, you have to add them manually in each scene. Very tedious as the number of scenes grows or when porting over a large story. (And typing asterisks into the editor is buggy, too.)
- It defies the point of having individual scene documents in the first place. There's no advantage of splitting the scenes into separate documents vs just pasting all the chapter text into one document.
How does this feature request address the current situation?
With the addition of such a setting dropdown, there would be no more need to manually add scene seperators to the manuscript text.What are other uses for this feature request?
The option for choosing "nothing" (which could be the default setting for a new manuscript) would also cover the use case of people who handle the available document types of manuscripts in a different way.The Team's Response
Not much support but will accept :)

on 2021-11-07 15:39This is perfect!!! I hate having to go through and make sure that all of my scene breaks are the same after taking a break from writing.

on 2021-10-20 19:55Yes, yes, yes! I remember that you could also had "images" in between each scene, but they looked a tad too clunky to me and you couldn't adjust their size either, and typing whatever symbol you wanted to use for scene breaks was also tedious and I often forget to copy and paste them. However, this feature would make using manuscripts much easier between chapter scenes (and I tend to split my chapters into a lot of scenes). Being able to click on a button or a dropdown that manually adds a set of symbols that appear as a scene break in the presentation side would be wonderful!

on 2021-10-20 15:32I have been using a single scene per chapter unless the scene changes, and I would love a way to denote that without me typing ~~~ all the time.

on 2021-10-20 15:32While I can't agree with point 2, and likely won't have a use for this myself, I can see the merit in it and think many people will have need of it.
