Does anyone here know how I can re-order individual scenes in a sequence?

Cannot open scene detail view

David Reeves — Sun, 24 Sep 2023 21:14:51 +0000

I can not open the scene detail view. I can open the detail view in all the other categories, beats, notes, characters, locations, things, etc. When I try to open detail view for scenes, either by double clicking the title bar or by clicking the keyboard icon then selecting the edit in detail view option I receive an error message. "System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'txtools.dll' or one of its dependencies. The specified module could not be found." I am working on a brand new Lenovo thinkpad running Windows 11 Why is happening? Help me please.

Not saving progress

Brian Lucas — Mon, 31 Jul 2023 20:02:38 +0000

More than once I have closed out my Save the Cat software only to reopen it later and see that some of the cards I filled out on my board are now blank, or edits I've made have not been saved. Am I doing something wrong? I assumed it was autosaving as I went along and I don't see a "save" button... nor does it ask to "save changes" when I close.

Help appreciated.

Adjust the autosave?

Can you adjust the autosave time on STC? If so, how is that done?

Website redirect issues on old posts

Whenever I try to access an old post (like Blake's here https://savethecat.com/genre/good-shepherd-and-casino-royale-spy-movies) I get redirect errors and the site times out. Is this an issue on my end? I've cleared my cookies several times and tried a bunch of different browsers on various computers with various settings.

For technical purposes I get 301 permanently moved message in the header.

Didn't know where else to post this.

Thanks.

Setting up the software

Eskie — Fri, 06 Nov 2020 18:22:03 +0000

I'm writing my first novel and have purchased the STC software and trying to set it up but getting a little lost.

So far I know in my mind what the outline of my story is and have written scores of ideas in Evernote of character descriptions, story ideas, possible scenes and so on. I started copying and pasting some of those into the STC software but quickly got lost and came to a halt. I'm sure there's a more efficient way of doing this but so far haven't been able to work out what that might be.

Would love suggestions on what others have done
