Mountain Lion and importing ODT files

[mathewmitchell]

I use Scrivener for doing my initial writing in Multimarkdown. Then I export in the ODT format. And finally I import into Nisus. All of this worked fine before.

I haven't had the need to export to ODT for a few weeks, but just did so (about 10 days after getting Mountain Lion). Now I can't import ODT files. I just get a message saying there were "problems" opening the file. So something has changed in the workflow.

I'm guessing the biggest change had to do with Mountain Lion. Does anyone know if Nisus can still successfully import ODT files? In preferences I have it set to LibreOffice, or the "more complete" importing.

If this is a Nisus import issue, then is it likely to be fixed soon? Many thanks,

Mathew

I've sent a direct email to Nisus, but wanted to follow through here on some further clarification about this issue.

With the new Nisus I had no idea that NIsus could now read FODT files directly. Previously I had to manually change the extension to ODT. Very nice upgrade in the new Nisus (or in Mountain Lion).

However, after some detective work, I did locate the problem I'm having importing some FODT files.

It seems the culprit is if a URL is in the document using this multimarkdown format: [Scrivener website](realURLhere)

If I put in a raw URL then all is fine.

Nisus has no problem with in-page cross-references such as: [References][references] that link to another portion of the page.

As far as I know the inclusion of multimarkdown URL indicators is not new, I've been using them a fair amount.

I don't know how to work around this long term, but I'm guessing this can get fixed by Nisus. I've sent in some problematic pages, but if they did not come through and you'd like an example then I'm glad to send.

Many thanks,

Mathew
