This might be due to a bug in the tkinter GUI library, which should be fixed as of Python version 3.9.10 (see requirements on the project homepage). |
Apparently Novelyst doesn't run with 3.7.2. The window doesn't open. So I reverted back to 3.8.8, the last version compatible with Windows 7. No big deal. |
I reopen this issue to avoid double postings.
Thanks for the information. This is due to a changed system call for localization which does not work with outdated Windows in combination with old Python versions. I have fixed this in the meantime, so that the current novelyst version 4.2.5 and its updated plugins also work fine under Vista with Python 3.7.2. |
It's working now with version 4.2.5 and Python 3.7.2. Thanks |
It's working now with Novelyst version 4.2.5 and Python 3.7.2. Thanks I'm playing with colors in the config file. How do I add comments in that file? |
You can add comment lines prefixed with I use comments to illustrate sample configurations, like this: By the way, playing around with colors is risky, because the program expects correct names and might otherwise abort with an error. You may see the corresponding error messages if you start novelyst with novelyst.py from the Windows command line instead of run.pyw from the explorer. |
Thanks. In Program settings the coloring mode can be chosen for individual columns, or so it seems. But changing the coloring mode for one column changes it for all columns. Is that expected? I'm trying to use colors to quickly identify scenes with special meaning. |
That's a misunderstanding, I'm afraid. Meanwhile, this feature is documented here. By the way, it is a drawback of the treeview widget I use for novelyst, that different colors cannot be applied column by column, but only line by line.
For this, there are some tricks in yWriter that also work for novelyst. For example, I intersperse "ToDo" chapters or scenes just to mark plot points or the beginning of a dramaturgical stage. |
I missed that. To my defense, it is not obvious how to access this page from the Novelyst home page. At least, I didn't see it. |
This is because I added this page just yesterday, I guess. Anyway, on each of my project homepages, look for "usage". I'd be interested to know what system you like to use to color your scenes. If you feel like it, open a thread in the discussion forum. |
On Windows 7 there is no color in the tree, only in the Comments pane.
