[Feature Request] Automatically calculate folder word count goal

[russell-phillips]

I'd like to have the option for folder word count goals to be calculated automatically, by adding up the word count goals of the included folders and texts/scenes.

Currently, I use a calculator to add up word count goals of the individual scenes, but that's a pain when I change them :)

Maybe I don't understand you correctly, but Manuskript already does this, doesn't it?

All I did here is set scenes 1-5 to shorter lengths than the default (to make it a bit easier to fill them up), and Manuskript did all the math for the parent folder goal and completion-rate on its own.

Apparently it does, if you don't manually enter a goal for the folder. Not sure if that's changed at some point since I started using it, or if it always did that.

Either way, thank you. I've got what I wanted :)

I am glad you got it to work for you.

I don't know how old the feature is, but it has been there since 0.9 at the very least.

I think I started with 0.8, and I'm fairly sure it didn't do this then, so I've been manually filling in the goal for the folders, and didn't notice that it could work it out automatically.
