A quick run-down of the document management of Scrivener for those following
this discussion:
Scrivener has a “Binder” which is somewhat analogous to
BBEdit’s “Project” panel. You can organise documents
hierarchically inside folders, and group documents together as
chapters. Clicking on a “parent” type object such as a
folder or chapter will fill the document pane with relevant
information: a “plain” view which shows the text content of
the node (nothing for a folder, content for a chapter parent) a
“merged” view which shows the concatenated content of the
parent and its children, “pin board” view which shows an
“index card” for each child containing its synopsis
(visually represented as a series of index cards pinned to a
cork board), and “outline view” which shows a more
conventional row-based listing of the same information as
“pin board” view.
Thanks for the description of how you want file management to
work. The insight into other workflows is interesting.
Personally, I don't want all the file management (for me)
clutter in BBEdit. There are other file management tools that do
it better.
Ahh, I think you said later than it's not really file
management, but Scrivner has it's own database/package for
storage. In that case, you may be interested in Yojimbo. It's by
far the best document (item) storage that I've seen. I went
through a quite few of them over the years and have been stuck
on Yojimbo for a *long* time.
There is no builtin document exchange between Yojimbo and BBEdit
but it's pretty easy to script.
Having read all these comments and giving the situation more
thought, I agree it could be easier to create new documents in
BBEdit *at the current location*. I'll have to give more thought
to what that means and I'll submit a feature request. For now,
right clicking in file list of project pane will suffice.
