Windows to MacOS (Scrivener 3) Migration Styling Issues
So. Recently tried to migrate my Scrivener projects from Windows to Mac. Zipped them up in Windows, opened them back up in Mac. Both Scrivener 3.
Problem is, that completely wrecked my custom styles. Not just the styles themselves, because in that case it’d have been really easy to update it all, but the assignment of paragraph style per paragraph. It seems like transferring my projects to MacOs completely scrambled the styles of the paragraphs. And it’s inconsistent; from what I can tell, there’s no clear pattern to it.
Like, in Windows, I might have two paragraphs, one styled as “Wiki Text Body” and another styled as “Wiki Header 1”. In Mac, it might all be “Wiki Text Body” or all “Wiki Header 1“ or even a different style altogether, like ”Wiki Header 2”.
Even better, even when it SEEMS the styles were imported correctly (at least their assignments, even if the fonts and sizes are wrong), when I try to use “update a style from selection” over in Mac in an attempt to fix the font, it just updates that specific paragraph (or a handful of them) and not all the other paragraphs assigned that same style, as if they were different styles.
Now, I still have access to my projects on Windows, so what I want to know is if there’s anything I can tweak on my Windows projects before migrating them to Mac that might ensure the styles are properly retained. I’ll be perfectly happy to zip them up and transfer them over again. Because I’m *really* not looking forward to restyling well over ten thousand files, each with several levels of headers, across more than twenty different projects.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
