Bad news: Scrivener, on Linux, has a tendency to crash on me every few minutes.

Good news: Thanks to autosave, I've not lost any work because of it.

Bad news: I can't go on like this.

Good news: Finally managed to get Scrivener installed on Windows.

Bad news: For whatever reason, the Windows version doesn't want to port over my project?

Good news: It appears to be a known bug involving Dropbox, which I have now gotten around. \o/

Bad news: ...I just wasted how much time I could have been getting actual work done?

More bad news: Equally likely to crash every few minutes in Windows.

Good news: It's a known bug. And I can hopefully train myself out of doing the thing that triggers it.

I hope that the developer is able to sort this out soon!

The official release is supposed to be in July, so I sure hope so! I should know better than to download version 0.2.4 of anything, but the seventh draft of a recalcitrant novel calls for superior outlining software.

I have been able to make Scrivener work under Linux wine sometimes by following various forum/Google winetricks directions, but I have to admit I was thinking about a new netbook partly because it would be easier just to have Windows.

I'm sorry it's being so screwy for you on Windows. :(
