Sorting by last edit

[James Spencer]

Is there a way to check when chapters/scenes were last edited or even created? I was hoping to keep track of when I worked on different parts of the project, but can't seem to find any method of doing that automatically.

If it's really crucial for you when you wrote which scene, you could go back to the old version 5.2.1.2.

Here, each scene is saved in its own RTF file, and you can sort the directory by date in the Explorer. 

Of course, you have to do without the advantages of the current yWriter version, and you cannot use the yw7 file format, which is actually better. However, it is not enough to create yw5 files with the current yWriter, because in this case, as far as I know, all RTF scene files are created at the same time with the last date.

The program knows internally the time you modded a scene, but that info isn't saved to the file and is only during the session.

If you look at Tools - Autobackups - View Autobackups you can see when scene snapshots were taken each day.
