Document Browser and Previews
The Document Browser shows a sorted list of all your saved documents in the currently open project. To edit a document from the list, double click on it, and it will open in a new tab. Once you opened and changed a document, it will appear in a bold typeface in the Browser.
The Preview Panes show the contents of the selected documents in the Document Browser. The top pane shows the contents of the Editor, the bottom pane shows the contents of either the Notepad, the Excerpt or the Project Notes (Excerpt and Project Notes are not available for Ulysses Core).
- How do I add or remove a column from the browser?
- You can add or remove columns by Ctrl-clicking on the column headers. A list with all available columns will pop up. Currently visible columns will have a checkmark next to them.
- How can I manually sort the documents in the browser?
- To manually sort the list (i.e. via drag'n'drop) first make sure that the Manual Sorting column is shown. You can then simply click on its header and rearrange the documents.
- Some documents are bold. What gives?
- Documents you have open (i.e. shown in a tab) and modified will be shown as bold entries in the Document Browser. You can change this appearance by going to Preferences > Interface > Browser.
- Some documents are greyed out. What gives?
- Check the Filter field above the Document Browser. Documents not matching the filter criteria will be greyed out and moved to the bottom of the list.
- Why are the contents in the preview pane different from the contents of the open documents?
- The Preview will only show the contents of each document's saved state. Thus, if you preview a document which is open and modified, the Preview panes allow you to compare the current version's contents with these of the saved version.
- How do I switch between the various Notes previews?
- To successively switch between the various Notes previews, click on the small "eye" icon in the top-right corner of the Notes preview. The view will cycle between Notes, Excerpt and Project Notes.
- What are the numbers below the Preview pane for?
- The numbers below the Preview pane show the calculated amount of characters, words etc. for the currently selected documents in the browser.
- Can I get a sum of all pages/characters/etc. in my project?
- To get a calculated sum of characters/pages/etc. of your project, select several (or all) documents in the browser, then check the numbers below the Preview panes.
