I just got Marked. It works beautifully with my Scrivener projects. Why would I need the ScrivWatcher droplet? I don't see any added functionality. Am I missing something? Thanks

If you're running Marked on Lion, Scrivener functionality has been built in since this droplet was created. You don't need it anymore. It's handy if you're running the Snow Leopard version, but I should add a note that Lion users can ignore this :).

Ah, yes, I am running Lion, that's why. Thanks. Lovely product, Marked. Well done!

I have the same behavior as Tristan with new version : it doesn't start and the terminal output is the same.

Could you (and anyone else having issues) test out version 1.4 before I post it and see if it helps? Edit (link to 1.5) http://d.pr/eCmg

Thank you for your support. Here's the terminal output:

/Users/tristank/Downloads/scrivwatcher.rb:93:in `delete': No such file or directory - /Users/tristank/ScrivWatcher/ScrivWatcher - test.md (Errno::ENOENT)
from /Users/tristank/Downloads/scrivwatcher.rb:93

I closed both apps but nothing is starting after I droped the scriv file into the droplet. Also created a new document as advised.

Are you Terminal-savvy enough to try running the raw script? If so, save [this code] as scrivwatcher.rb and make it executable with chmod a+x /path/to/scrivwatcher.rb. Edit the code in the first section to set debug to "true". Then run /path/to/scrivwatcher.rb /path/to/yourdoc.scriv and see if it gives you any helpful messages.

Doesnt work for me. Scrivener and Marked are running. When I drop my scriv file into the droplet nothing happens. Any suggestions?

Close both Scrivener and Marked and drop a file, let me know if either one opens or not. Just wondering if it's having trouble starting or after it gets to the parsing part.

Have you tried multiple .scriv files? Also try starting a new project with just a couple of pages and see if that works. Let me know.

I've found that if you have more than one Scrivener Project open that Marked doesn't display anything. Not sure if that's a feature or a bug.

Still a great feature for Marked.

Open in Scrivener? I'm not having any trouble, as long as I only view one document in Marked at a time. It always uses the same temp preview file, so multiple Scrivener projects can't currently be previewed in Marked...

Thanks!

Really wonderful!! At last, I can smoothly write in markdown (with equations) in scrivener and follow the preview. Thanks. :o)))
One point : when reorganizing the scrivener document and saving, the preview doesn't update.

It's because it's only watching for changes within the document folder of the bundle, and reorganizing only modifies the XML file outside of that folder. I can add it to be watched, but for now it will update as soon as you make another change in the document text.

ok. As it is, it's a big progression for my writing flow. Thanks again.

I don't recall if I closed everything before opening a new one when I first tested. But in subsequent tests I definitely have closed everything. Also repaired permissions, logged out, restarted, etc.

Wow, thanks for this! I seem to be noticing a bug (or I'm doing something wrong). ScrivWatcher seems to "remember" the first Scrivener project I drag to it. If I close, then open with a second project it still wants to preview the initial project file. So I have no idea how to switch ScrivWatch to preview 2 different projects currently. I'm guessing this is a bug, but may be wrong.

I'll take a look at it this afternoon. Are you closing everything (ScrivWatch, Marked and Scrivener project) before opening a new one? Just curious.

Just updated the download on this page to 1.1, could you download and see if you still have the same issue?

Seems to now work fine with 4 Scrivener projects, but shows nothing, zilch with a fifth. Weird. I can send you a link to the "bad" Scrivener project if you want. Don't know why there's a hang up with just this one.
