When I do: preferences, status, new it refuses to accept the new name and the inner status window freezes. It does not react on 'default' or 'save' so I have to quit the program and launch again. Then everything is normal again. gjvandijk

This is weird, and I cannot reproduce it. What name are you trying to type in (not that that should matter). By "New" I assume you mean the "+" button. Can you please give me more details on what exactly you have to do to reproduce this problem? Just doing what you said hasn't caused any problems for me... Thanks, Keith

By "freezing," do you mean that it does not allow you to type the name of the new status type? Because for me, when I press the '+' button, it creates a new entry in the status list, but does not actually move the focus to the list and let you start typing immediately. You have to double click on the empty line and start typing to insert a status. Pressing return at that point, will save the new status type. So, it might appear frozen if you are used to the new entry being automatically highlighted for you.
You will then need to restart the application to use the new status types. I have not submitted this as a bug, because it probably falls under general preference fixing in the To Do.

The 'freeze' has gone now. But when I want a new status ("+") the Blue line goes two or three places further and I can only save 1 new status and only when it's two or three places below the original 'done' status. Then, there is nothing in between and it is not possible to put a new status there. I am Dutch and I wanted to put in the status 'Hoofdstuk' (Chapter). But worse: I made a document with Scrivener and placed it on my desktop. When I doubleclick my document it opens Scrivener but not my document. I must go to 'file-recent projects' to be able to open my document. And when it opens, there is no Binder view. Really, there isn't. I have an Imac G5, with OSX 10.4.2.
When I open the program itself (not via an existing document) and make a new document with a new name (a name which does not exist on my computer) Scrivener says:Scrivener could not create the project file /Users/gertjan/hihi.scriv because another file already exists with that name. At the same time it does make the document and when I open it: no binder view. I'm sorry and I also apologize for my bad english. gjvandijk

Here I am again, few minutes after the last post. I did away with Scrivener, including com.kayembi.scrivener.plist. No trace of Scrivener left on my computer. Doublechecked. Downloaded Scrivener and installed Scrivener again. Binder view is oke now. I can make new statuses, even more than 1, but the line after 'done' cannot be filled in. I cannot however startup Scrivener from my document on the desktop, only directly from the program itself. When I try to start up from my new document, there is the mac warning: an unexpected fault has been ... (I don't know the english word, but it is a normal warning), code 10660

Okay, thanks - I've reproduced the problem and know exactly what is causing it - basically, as AmberV has pointed out, it is because you are not naming the status. This causes a crash and for Scrivener to behave oddly. I will fix this.
In the meantime, to stop Scrivener behaving oddly, you will need to delete your preferences file. Do a search in the Finder on "com.kayembi.scrivener.plist" and dump that file into the trash. After that, Scrivener should work fine again.
Thanks, KB
P.S. I deleted the other two threads you started on the same problem - best to keep it all in one thread.
