manuskript's Issues

Can't create new project on Linux

I get the following error when creating a project on Linux:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/DATA/opt/manuskript/bin/../manuskript/ui/welcome.py", line 159, in createFile
self.loadDefaultDatas()
File "/home/DATA/opt/manuskript/bin/../manuskript/ui/welcome.py", line 344, in loadDefaultDatas
t = [i for i in self.templates() if i[0] == self.template[0]]
File "/home/DATA/opt/manuskript/bin/../manuskript/ui/welcome.py", line 344, in
t = [i for i in self.templates() if i[0] == self.template[0]]
IndexError: list index out of range

I have no problem opening and saving the example project.

Save file doesn't automatically add .msk

When I started my first file I just wrote the file name in field "manuskript-test". When I later tried to open the file it didn't show up in the open window as the .msk was not added automatically to the file name. The "Files of type" did not allow to show all files either, so I could click on it anyway. I could write the file name though and press enter which opens the file.

Stylesheet error on windows

Manuskript 0.3.0, on Windows

Say this 4 times:

'Could` not parse stylesheet of object 0x4a5c9a0' 

and doesn't load wood background, but works.

Add a beginner step by step guide of how to use Manuskript

Hi !

This project is very promising but lack a bit of documentation.
I have read the snowflake method blog entry from advancedfictionwriting.com but if it explain well the method, it's not completely helpfull wile using Manuskript. At some point during plots and world place writing i am lost in the process (i tend to jump the writing extended page summaries to after the cutting of the books in plots and sub-plots) .

For example, how did you arrive steep-by-steep to the outliner image example ?
Where and when did you define books, chapters, scenes ?

Also, i do no understand clearly the difference between the "Plot" and "Outline" tabs. For me it could be the same tab, with one more sub tab to merge "basic infos" ; "resolution" and "ouline". So i do no know when is correct to jump from one to another.

Finally, about the plots. For me a sub-plot could also be qualified as a secondary or a minor one. So i am confused than a sub-plot=secondary could be defined in two ways. Sure not all secondary/minor plots are sub-plots, but in my understanding all sub-plots could be qualified as "secondary".

So in short i am a bit confused by the software and i would like to read a short steep by steep tutorial with a bunch a Lorem Ipsum from summaries to scenes with a bit of character and world tabs explanation too.

The plot line colours keep changing?

Hi again,

really love this software. It certainly has a lot of promise, so thank you for your work.

In redaction mode, when I enter text, the colours in the story line pane change with each keystroke. Is that a bug, or am I missing something?

Select Color dialog open below Manuskript window

When I created a new Character and I click the color to change it manuskript opens a Select Color Dialog. This windows opens below the Manuskript main window and not over it.

By the way, the dialog is called "Select Color", and didn't appear in the translation file to change it to "Elige un Color". I don't know if it is a hardcoded name or is a bug with my local QT installation.

Manuskript fails to load last state of panels

Sometimes manuskript fails to load the that state of panels like treeview or storyline.
Not a big deal but annoying.

Problem with minimum size of program window?

As you can see in the image, on my computer the program window extends off the bottom of the screen. This happens in 'GTK+' and 'Fusion' application styles. Bug, compatibility issue, QT version issue, something else..?

My computer runs Xubuntu 14.04, which has PyQT version 5.2.1. In the image it's using the default 'Greybird' theme. Screen resolution is 1280x800.

In revision mode text, selecting group doesn't load text-preferences right.

Ubuntu 16.04, using the download from the official website.

When selecting a group of texts in revision mode, the child texts get pasted underneath each other and you can edit the text in the preferences.

However, the main text doesn't load these preferences unless you just edited them. The header does load right. This is a bit annoying as I have dyslexia and need the text to be way bigger than it is by default :)

Optimize performance of story line

Story line view can be extremely slow with big projects.

Some possible optimization:

1. refreshing only when necessary
   • Not when characterModel is changed if story line doesn't show characters
   • Idem for plots
2. Cache what can be cached if the structure is not edited (rows added or removed)

Unable to run application

OS Windows 10.
I downloaded and unzipped, then ran the manuskript file. This message popped up:
Warning: failed to load translator for locale en_GB...
The application opens, but when I try to create anything, the whole thing crashes. Any suggestions?

Snowflake view mode always disabled

There is a entry in the menu View/Mode name "Snowflag" that is disabled. I expect this to be related with the Snowflake method and the novel assistant (if not, where is it?). I was curious to test it, but I can figure how to activate it.

Bug: File doesn't open if spellcheck is active and dictionary is missing

If spellcheck is active in your file and you try to open the .msk in another machine without the dictionary, manuskript raises an error in the log/terminal but doesn't open the file and doesn't say anything in the main application.

IMHO the program must open the file, and warning that spellcheck will be disabled because the dictionary is missing.

Multiple selections of items sometimes gets Notes/references field to be ereased

In outline or index cards mode, when selecting multiple items with different values for notes/references sometimes get them to be erased, while the placeholder text keeps indicating "Various" even when selecting single item.

Undo/redo works in some text areas but not others

The undo/redo commands don't work in main editor, notes/references, and World item description box. All other text areas seem to have undo/redo working.

0.3.0 File Creation Issues

OK, we've got a couple, that I strongly suspect are related (Running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, new install, nothing significant changed):

1. Saves aren't working: single-file saves randomly fail to open, the new open format files don't produce a .msk file, and so can't be opened at all.

2. Settings are completely forgotten between sessions.

AttributeError in editorWidget

Happens, it seems, if a tab is closed, and something is edited in an other tab:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/olivier/Dropbox/Documents/Travail/Geekeries/Python/PyCharmProjects/manuskript/bin/../manuskript/ui/editors/editorWidget.py", line 219, in modelDataChanged
    if not self.currentIndex:
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'currentIndex'

Seems like editorWidget is deleted, but signal is still emited. Case of foot-shooting?

Probably needs to disconnect signals explicitely when closing tabs.

Branch Dialog Editor

I'm creating a Branching Dialog Editor to manuskript, inspired by Articy Draft 2:
http://www.nevigo.com/help/Flow_Dialogue.html

It is useful for videogames scripting and it could be adapted to Branching Plots, like in Choose your own adventure books.

So, I get a basic Diagram editor here and start to play with it a little:
http://www.windel.nl/?section=pyqtdiagrameditor

But I never worked with QT before so when I was going to add an initial SAVE/LOAD functions I found that you are using an internal Item Model from QT. CharacterModel is an AbstractItemModel, World is an StandardItemModel...

If you can explain the internal structure of Manuskript a little it would be more easy to me to integrate the Dialog Editor.

Thanks.

[Windows] Compile Dialog does not have a title

The compile dialog title is not defined.

Interactive story building

From John K. on the website:

Cool, You are definitely on the right track, keep the good work ;)

It would be even more cool if you could add a more options and fields for the character and world data sections with image drop support for the characters, organizations... the Ideal is that Manuskrit would also serve Interactive stories building, I know it would be a hell of hard work but if our favorite software could get such features, well it would be totally awesome !

here is some features I would dream to find and hope to see one day on Manuskrit :

• Hierarchical flowcharts :
  Each node in your story flowchart can contain an inner flowchart. For example, you can start with a top-level chapter structure and break it down into quests and dialogue. This nested approach ensures clean flowcharts for each level.
• Story simulation with variables ( story logic check points )
• Attachments & hyperlinks
  Make relevant objects or external reference material available where you need it. Link them to nodes, like email attachments.
• Screenplay import / export
  You can import from FinalDraft and export branching flowcharts directly into hyperlinked Word documents.
• Story database : Skill trees, object trees, tech trees, etc.
• Easy-to-use location editor :
  The build-in location editor is a vector-based 2D drawing tool. It comes with Photoshop-like layer management and serves as an iteration-friendly sketching tool for the maps and scenarios. ( you can integrate some of gimp code for layers and other graphical tools )

Sorry for the long Post, anyway I'm looking forward to your future work and wish you good continuation !

Some bugs in Windows XP and Ubuntu 15.1

Hi to all!

I've detected some bugs in windows XP:

• Field "Epiphany" in Characters board doesn't saved.
• Don't load image for cards wallpaper.
• Field "Source of conflict" in World board doesn't active.
• In Redaction mode: It isn't stable, sometimes closes when changing from cards to text mode.
• Field "summary" in Plot board (Resolution steps) doesn't active. After complete this field, columns are very large. Impossible see fully.
• Not a bug, but a doubt: how use the heart icon in Characters board (field detailed infos).

In Ubuntu 15.1:

-Doesn't put accents on words.

Thanks for translation to spanish! 👍

Regards!

Add syntax highlighter for Fountain

Add a syntax highlighter for Fountain, as suggested in #5 by @jimmysjolund.

And then a manuskript exporter.

(As of now, it is possible to write in fountain and export in plain text, and that would work.)

Compiling Manuskript in windows

This is a little guide to generate the Windows binaries of manuskript.

I installed this versions and it worked, but you can try newers versions if you want or can't find the older ones. You need to install:

• Python 3.4.4, x86 version: https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/
• PyQT 5.5.1 for python v3.4 (Windows 32 bit installer): https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/download5
• lxml with pip
• pyinstaller with pip
• pyenchant with pip

Get python and pyqt 5 installers and execute both on your windows system choosing the default options.
When everything is installed, open a command line windows and go to C:\Python34\Scripts
Execute this commands to install lxml, pyenchant and pyinstaller:
pip install lxml
pip install pyenchant
pip install pyInstaller

If some of them fails, maybe you need to upgrade pip. You need to open another command line as Administrator. Press Right click on the Command Line icon and choose Execute as Administrator. Go to C:\Python32\scripts and run:
pip install --upgrade pip

Now, you can download the last code of manuskript from the download page:
http://www.theologeek.ch/manuskript/download/

Unzip it in any folder and in your command line window go to that folder, for example C:\manuskript. Then execute:
C:\Python34\Scripts\pyInstaller manuskript.spec

After some minutes it will create two folders: build and dist. The dist folder contains your main manuskript folder. Try to open dist\manuskript\manuskript.exe and check if everything looks ok.

The log file with the warnings and errors is at build\manuskript\warnmanuskript.txt

Happy writing!

Windows installation issue

Hello, trying to install Manuskript on Windows 7 and running into some issues. I'm not technically adept so I am not sure how to troubleshoot this issue. Am I missing some other application prerequisites? I was able to capture the installation window and I've attached it here.

Fullscreen editor error when text is empty (wordcount = 0)

Hi,

the fullscreen button didn't work for me.

I commented out the three lines in question to make the fullscreen button work.

Error:
File "manuskript-0.1.1/bin/../manuskript/ui/editors/fullScreenEditor.py", line 284, in updateStatusBar
if goal - wc > 0:
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'str' and 'int'

Unable to type the "ê" character

I am unable to type the "ê" character, which required to type the "^" character first and then the "e" on the French azerty keyboard: nothing happens then. I suppose the same problem occurs with "î,û,n,â,ï,ë,ä,ö", but I have not tested. I never meet this problem with any software.
I use the last dev branch of manykript on Ubuntu 16.

Error "Fail to load translator..."

I am running Windows 10 Home 64bit version 10.0.14393 Build 14393
Upon starting Manuskript 0.3.0 I receive this error. I also tried the older versions of Manuskript and received the same error.

This is as far as I get. I cannot create new files as I attempted to do so the software crashes.
I can only view the sample file provided.
Needless to say I cannot use the software at this time.

I am no coder but, if there is a simple fix let me know.
If you need more information please ask.

Thanks, for your time and effort.

OS X app with Platypus

Hi,

I have created an OS X App for this using Platypus. I attach the profile I used - you'd need to sed it to change the path to the appropriate thing on your computer, then create the app. That app will then be independent of paths on your computer.

(Oh sorry, the icon I used is a google download of a different app using the same name - so you'd need to change that for distribution).

Thanks,

Nawal.

Likes to freeze and crash

I would really like to be able to type more than three characters without the program stalling, freezing, or crashing. Takes forever to type anything and only some of the characters register so there are a ton of misspellings. Doesn't matter if I'm in distraction-free mode or whatever mode I'm in. Usually the problem is tied to the Revisions, but whenever I try to alter those (most notably the frequency), the program crashes.

Only happens in Redaction; Characters, Plots, World, etc. all work more or less seamlessly.

Add images to project

I'm using manuskript to make game design documents. So it could be useful to add images to some sections, so readers (and myself if I reopen and old document) can use them as references. Like characters, world items, etc..

Creating manuskript binay for Android and IOS

I'm posting a little notes about creating a manuskript binary for Android or IOS. So somebody can try to make an apk when manuskript reach version 1.0

The buildozer project creates binaries for mobile platforms, just like pyInstaller creates Linux and Windows binaries:
https://buildozer.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html

Actually, Buildozer works with Linux and MacOsX, but not Windows. It's included in pip so installing it is easy, but you need to add some dependencies (read them in the official docs):
pip install --upgrade buildozer

I tried to generate binaries for manuskript 0.3.0 in Linux Mint DE, but it fails. I don't know if there are a problem with my cython installation (It doesn't install with the docs instructions, so I installed the packaged one and it seems to compile with python2.7 not python3) or there are other issue.

I add my buildozer.spec and logs as attached files because the markdown transform them in a mess, even with the quote o code marks.
There are 2 logs. The first one with requeriments commented:
#requirements = lxml,pyenchant

The second one with requeriments uncommented:
requirements = lxml,pyenchant

Bug: Writing a .msk file in linux and opening it in windows clean the outline files

Steps to reproduce:

Create a new .msk file in linux or windows
Save it
Open it in Windows
The characters and Summary content are right, but the Outline is empty. When you close the file or wait the selected time in settings, Manuskript save your current file, erasing the outline files inside the .msk zip and losing your work.

Log/terminal doesn't say anything. The file opening the file multiple times in linux doesn't fail. Writing it in Windows works ok and you can open the .msk as .zip file and see the outline files.

When filling in the data about the characters, the epiphany section is not saved into the file.
