Help! I feel quite stumped by something that should probably be obvious:
I am synching my project with Scrivener. For the sake of simplicity (hah) I basically want ALL of my Aeon events to show up in Scrivener somewhere. I have created several Scrivener folders-- Story, Backstory, and Unplaced Scenes, to help me keep track.
The problem is that I started working on this project a year ago, before I arrived at that system, so I have events created in Scrivener, and in Aeon, in the Timeline and in the Narrative.
I know that all events created in the Scrivener folders I named above will show up in Aeon.
I know that ALL events in Narrative Outline will be synched with Scrivener.
I know that ALL events I create in Narrative Outline will also show up in the “Spreadsheet” view.
I know that any event I create in Spreadsheet view will NOT show up in Narrative outline (or other narrative views) unless I put it in the narrative, on purpose.
Problem: how to tell which events in Spreadsheet view (and sometimes, if they have dates, on the timeline) are not yet in any Narrative view.
The simplest way I could imagine would be to have a column in the Spreadsheet view that says something like “in narrative”-- then I could assume that if the answer was NULL, the item is not in the narrative. But as far as I can tell, that’s not possible.
The only other way I can imagine is to print out both narrative and spreadsheet and check the items off by hand. It probably doesn’t need to be stated that the whole reason I am using Aeon is so that I don’t have to do that.
I’m sure there’s a way. Can anybody help?
