For anybody else who is stumped by this weird problem, and assuming that you are syncing the Aeon event “summary” to the Scrivener “synopsis,” the fix in more detail is: Completely baffling but your hack TOTALLY works. Thank you so much for clarification of everything. It basically means I can’t sync those characters with Scrivener, without fear of something being borked. I have created a lot of characters in my timeline file, with more to come I am sure since Aeon is now my brainstorming tool of choice. I have done several syncs, with changes, and if I go back into the Scrivener corkboard I can change images and they stick.

Images seem like they are going to drag and drop- you get the little green plus icon, but they never show up on the cork board, and as soon as you leave the synopsis, the image disappears.Ĭharacters that I create in Scrivener appear to hang on to their picture-sticking abilities. Bigger problem number two: the character document that appears in scrivener is broken, such that you cannot drag any images onto the synopsis card, period. Problem number one: any image I attach to that character in Aeon does NOT sync to Scrivener, which may be by design, but is disappointing. One is able to switch between image and synopsis view perfectly.Ĭreate a character in Aeon. Drag and drop an image from Finder onto the synopsis where it says “drop an image here.” The image sticks to the synopsis, and immediately shows up on the cork board as expected.

I have been playing with some dummy sync files in advance of doing a full sync from my Aeon timeline with my WIP, and have discovered what I think is a bug:Ĭreate a character document in the research folder in Scrivener. Most recent versions of Aeon (3.0.9) and Scrivener (3.2.2).

Its very good for individuals whose basic character is 1) patient, 2) willing to master a steep learning curve, 3) willing to make a serious study of the details in the software, AND, who have a novel series that lasts over one hundred years.Hello! Using Mac, latest OS X and my computers are all M1 silicon (maybe this is the problem…?).

The good news is that the guys who devised the software tinker with it, update it, and ask users for feedback. The Aeon Inspector is like the Scriveners Inspector. Consequently, the terminology they use is not necessarily fiction-friendly.Īnd, for reasons that surpass understanding, a term called “property” in the master setup part of a project is called “value” in the Inspector part of a project. In other words, at the moment, it is not possible to set a firm date for an event and trust that it will remain solid when other items are added.Īlso, the designers created it for a wide array of uses. I have used Aeon Timeline for several years and its nice when the project is not too complicated.įor example, while it is a timeline, unless the user is marvelously aware and careful, the dates change.

The time line produce is a separate software called Aeon Timeline. Say you’re writing a historical novel and you want to lay out the actual historical timeline next to your story, simple create documents in your research folder for each event you want on the timeline, and label them something like “historical.”įiled Under: Scrivener Reader Interactions Even the color will change automatically. If you move a card around (say from one timeline to another, or to a spot earlier or later in the story) it will move accordingly in your binder. To do that, click the little icon that looks like 4 note cards in a square formation, them adjust as you like: I like my little laptop screen, but I know some writers work on big ‘ol screens, and this feature works for both. You can change the size and spacing of the cards which really helps a writer see all their cards in whatever space they happen to have.

Looking at it like that I can see that my story starts out with more of Sam’s POV, then kind of shifts to more of Alex’s POV.
