Details

  • add time field to scene
  • show time in chrono view (if time is set)
  • show time in book summary report

My stories are very complex. I need not only date but also time for scenes.

e.g.
BODO, Norway 1700 GMT:
Twenty Aurora3 reconnaissance vehicles launch in tandem destined for the sites of destruction. These vehicles are controlled by NSA surveillance center Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado, U.S.A. Each pair of vehicles will cross over their planned zones six minutes apart and will return to BODO in three hours. They each carry a full complement of Digital Photo and Advanced radar imaging equipment together with electronic emitter intelligence systems. Command staff awaits data link results in a tense atmosphere.
1908 GMT Cheynne Moutain Colorado :
Barret connects to Terrel’s direct line.
Vermork, Norway 1900 GMT:
Deep within the tunnel system below the Vermork Hydro station midway between Oslo and Bergen accompanied by over 100 co-conspirators sits Andres Breivick at his control console.
2000 Bodo Norway GMT
20 Aurora3 reconnaissance vehicles glide silently back to earth, enter their respective hangers and are pounced upon by maintenance personnel.

This task depends upon

I second this request. I have the same need...

Perhaps an additional feature coupled to this: Scenes auto-sort based on time, within a date. If scene 3 plays at 8:00AM, and 2 and hour later, Storybook may/could/should reorganise scenes based on these times, perhaps as part of the 'refresh' function. In this instance, you'd press 'refresh' and the appearance of the afore mentioned scenes becomes, first, scene 3, followed by scene 2 - all organised based on time.
