If you’re working with a linear sequence of texts from Scrivener, it makes sense to keep this on. Prefix file names with numbers: enabled by default, this keeps the listing in Finder in order with the Binder in Scrivener, by placing a number in front of each file name, like so “23 - The 23rd file in the sync list”.

Remove items from this collection to cause Scrivener to delete them from the disk and keep your nvUltra folder clean. By placing no items into the sync collection initially, you will get a blank slate to work with from nvUltra.Īs new items are synced into the project in the future, they will be automatically added to this collection, so that they maintain their sync status on the disk. It can also turn this feature into an effective “inbox” for your projects. Sync only documents in collection: this is an interesting feature if you’d only like to focus on a select number of items from your project.

Here are a few notes on them that may be of interest, but all of the settings are suitable as defaults, so feel free to skip to step 5 if you just want to get a quick look of how this can work (refer to §14.3, Synchronised Folders in the Scrivener user manual PDF for detailed information on all of these settings): The flags in the “Options” and “Import” section are up to you. button and select a location to create the new sync folder. Open the project you wish to link with nvUltra.Ĭlick the Choose. The best way to get started will be to create the sync folder from Scrivener first, since it has a formal (but simple) folder structure it will want to create:

This makes it a fantastic tool for integrating with just about anything that can source content from a directory on the file system. NvUltra doesn’t add new subfolders, create indexing files within them or anything that might cause other programs using that same folder to produce a confused result. This was one of those things I always wanted to do with nvAlt, but given its single folder architecture, and desire to place indexing files into that directory, it never worked well enough to make it a worthwhile approach. NvUltra can work well as a MultiMarkdown “front end” to Scrivener’s external folder sync feature.
