Hello,
I have a problem with Marked 2. If I understand it correctly, one of the nice features of marked 2 is that I can use my own editor (in this case Scrivener 3.0) and at the same time track in Markdown what the formatted version will look like.

(By the way, I use Ventura 13.6.7) I've never been able to get a change I make in Scrivener to show up directly in Marked 2. This change also does not show up when I confirm the change via Save in Scrivener. It is also not quite clear to me how Marked 2 is supposed to know that I have changed a file in Scrivener, because Scrivener obviously does not save the files in the Binder recognisably as real Mac files but uses some other storage metaphor and not real Mac files in the project bundle.

Anyway, your website claims that the update would work using the Scriver editor, I haven't got this to work yet. Do you have any advice on how I can make this function work, or am I doing something wrong?

Best regards

Ramon

    Ok, so changes will only show up when you save (or Scrivener auto saves). Marked monitors the XML file in the scrivener document bundle for changes, then compiles the markdown document by converting scrivener’s proprietary rtf format into html and then converting to Markdown based on the order in the XML document (in case you were curious).

    I no longer have the ability to test on Ventura and don’t consider it an officially-supported OS anymore, but I’ll confirm that the integration is at least working on the current stable OS and then see what might have broken. I should have time to look into it tomorrow.

    Thanks,
    Brett

    I can confirm that the updates aren't being triggered or recognized even
    on newer operating systems. Will dig into this as soon as I have time.

    Hello Brett,

    thank you for your quick response and for the time you invested in my question. It would be nice if there was a way to continue using Scrivener and Marked2 together in the future. I took the pressure out of the question by simply trying out how Marked2 works with Obsidian. It works well.

    I can live with this replacement solution but would be happy to return to the Scrivener and Marked2 duo at some point in the future.

    Thanks again for your quick investigation and your time

    Best regards

    Ramon
