Integration of Sente is a no-brainer, if you just use if for references and bibliography only and avoid Sente 6’s knee-jerk default file naming.You could add a tmp group in DT to drag’n’drop texts and snippets from Scrivener that you want to be analyzed by DT’s AI. If that doesn’t fit your needs, add another layer of complexity and use Scrivener as your drafting tool. Add a certain point, you’ll need to transfer your writings to Word/Pages/etc. But then, there is no Cmd-Shift-K (Split with Selection as Title) in DT. Maybe, I’m too impatient with DT and should instead split the text up into several DT documents. At a certain point, when texts have gotten too long and I find myself constantly scrolling up and down in DT, I’ll start a Scrivener project. My current pretty rough and not very flowing workflow is to start writing in DT.

And has been discussed in DT and Scrivener fora. When I’m writing in Scrivener, I clearly miss DT’s AI feature. When I’m writing in DT, I miss Scrivener’s features to organize, combine, split, mark etc. I’m somewhat torn between DT and Scrivener for drafting and I haven’t yet made up my mind about the best point of transferring notes to Scrivener. I’m still not committed to a certain workflow on the Mac plattform with regard to DT, Scrivener and a word processor.This procedure worked quite well for me on the Windows platform a couple of years ago when I used a software to draft papers that had no footnote capabilities either. Best you could do in DT is to write your text and paragraphs and use pseudo-tags for footnotes Later in Word, you could convert these FN- or similar “tags” into real footnotes via AppleScript. (The book on the DT way is still in the making? ) Rent a subdomain at pbworks or so and let’s see what will emerge… I think we’re at a point now, where information about workflows is too widely dispersed in different fora and threads.

RTFM and discussion forums - it’ll take a few I think a wiki would help to collaboratively design the best usage scenarios and workflows with DT involved. Your posting isn’t what I would call a follow-up.

Academic software lack tight and seamless integration.
