Hiya
David Gewirtz in his ZDnet article,
2014: The year Microsoft lost my loyalty (
http://www.zdnet.com/topic/the-years-be ... -and-play/) mentioned that he no longer uses Microsoft's Word; for his academic writing he uses Scrivener. There are betas for Linux at
http://www.literatureandlatte.com/forum ... 33&t=28280. Scrivener soumds interesting and I'd like to play with it. Would anyone be interested in creating a pet of it?

When installed in Slacko-5.7.0-PAE using the deb file...
Run in a terminal I get:
Code: Select all
# scrivener
/usr/share/scrivener/bin/Scrivener: error while loading shared libraries: libgstapp-0.10.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

That's good to hear
. I actually downloaded the deb rather that let petget install it because I thought it would work only with an ubuntu based distro like lupu. Note Sylvander install failure with Slacko-5.7 a couple posts after yours. Are debs and slackware incompatible?

he may just need to install
libgstapp-0.10.so.0; either a .deb or an .rpm should work.

libgstapp is part of gstreamer ...

OK....
Installed within Slacko-5.7.0-PAE:
gstreamer using the PPM, then installed the
scrivener-1.7.2.3-i386.deb file using the link above, and...
It appears to work just fine.
Saved the session changes, and rebooted, and [it's still installed, and] it still works.
Howto move the menu entry from Utility to Document?
Tried editing the /usr/share/applications/Scrivener.desktop file...
Changed:
Categories=Utility
To...
Categories=Document
[Then "Save", and shut down the document]
And...
Menu->Shutdown->Rebuild Menu
But it only removed the Utility entry without creating the Document entry.
Perhaps I did it wrong?
