Scene Titles

A scene can have a title now. These new titles are empty after the update. On the view "manage chapters and scene" you'll see a truncated summary if the title is empty. As soon as you enter a title, you'll see the title instead.
On the chronological view the title and the summary is shown, both editable. If you change the view size with the slider, the summary field disappears for very small sizes (so this is a feature, not a bug ;) ).

The scene status is no longer just a TODO flag. 5 states can be set now:

• Outline
• Draft
• 1st edit
• 2nd edit
• Done

The TODO flag is automatically converted to the status "outline" resp. "done". However, you should check the states of your scenes after updating StorYBook.

The part field on scenes has been deleted. Instead a new part field on chapters has been added. The automatic transformation process is the following:

• No parts are deleted.
• No chapters are deleted.
• All chapters are assigned to Part 1

You probably won't see any scenes when you start StorYBook after the update. But don't panic!

1. Select "Chronological View" from the menu view.
2. Select "Part 1" from the menu part.

Now you can assign chapters to any part you've defined. The scenes (which belongs to a chapter) are shown for the selected part only - as it was before. You may use the new view "Manage Chapters and Scenes", see the new tutorial for more information.
On the chronological view you'll probably see scenes from more than one part. This is not a bug. If you have intersecting dates in - let's say - Part 1 and Part 2, you'll see these scenes in both, part 1 and part 2 (just on the chronological view, not on the book view).

• Scene numbers are optional. If you don't enter a scene number - and the number is not filled in automatically -, a "x" is shown instead. E.g. "3.x" stands for the scene x in chapter 3. You can have as many not-numbered scenes in one chapter as you want.
• The scope for scene numbers is their assigned chapter. E.g. in chapter 5 the scenes numbers 3, 5 and 67 has exactly the same effect as the numbers 8, 9 and 42 or - what surprise - 1, 2 and 3.
• If you use the drag-and-drop on the view "manage chapters and scenes", the scene numbers are renumbered automatically for you (to 1,2,3 etc.). You can also do this manually. Right-click on a scene and select "Renumber Scenes".

On the book view you won't see scenes that are not assigned to a chapter. The book view (as the name says) represents the final book, and in the final book you won't have unassigned scenes, too.

Please have a look at the new tutorial.

On many components a right-click menu has been added. Just give it a try!
