Automatic Scene Creation via CSV Import

[wessleynyakaz]

A CSV file with the correct tag names or rather valid title fields.. When imported it automatically creates those scenes or documents, and add the relevant text like synopsis among others.

I think it'll make work easier for the plotters who first write a scene list. Creating and editing 100 docs is truly inefficient than just doing everything in a processor and just putting the flesh on top of a skeleton 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

You can add all your scenes to a single document in novelWriter and just use the split document tool to generate all your 100 scenes in one go. That's precisely what the split feature is for.

I too am a plotter, and I pre-plan key scenes in a single file before splitting into individual docs.

Thanks, never thought that feature would have such a use. But that feature would still be appreciated, meantime i'll follow you guidance.

You need to make a feature request under "Issues" for this. Discussions are more informal, and not used for planning work,
