Hi,
I've been using Scrivener for 2 days and it is totally brilliant.
I think I found a fairly trivial bug - I created a new text document and put a little image/symbol at the top as the first 'character', then saved it. This wasn't a problem, until I tried to look at storyboard mode. Scrivener hangs. It looks as if the synopsis card tries to read the image as text and can't work it out.
To reproduce either:
1. import an RTF file that has an image at the top then save it
2. or if you drag and drop an image into a new, unsaved text document then save it
Then try to go into storyboard mode.
You can get around this by putting a white space, or even a single character in the first position. It seems that the synopsis doesn't like not finding text in the first position in a file.
Adding an image to a text file as initial character after it has been saved (ie. after the synopsis has been created) doesn't create this problem.
By the way, I think the way the synopsis card is created with the first bits of text automatically is excellent, I hope it is trivial to prevent people like me who want little symbols at the top of their chapters from mucking up a great workflow.
