[Gambas-user] Several years ago I finished a application for writers in gambas2 I need some advice for rewriting

[Jb Skaggs]

This is basically a fancy editor that is broken down into scenes, chapters

My question is the best way to track the texts.  I am keeping each
scene's text in a directory dedicated to each chapter.

the only actual texts are in each scene and a chapter may have any
number of scenes, and a book may have any number of chapters.

I need to be able to have a running text by total written for book,
and by chapter, and by scene.

Since the only text is actually entered by a scene, I am thinking that
every time I save a scene's text the program should scroll through
every ch and it's scenes and recompile the all texts into new total
texts for the whole book, the whole chapter and the scenes.

But the last time I released this software in one of the reviews there
was a complaint that the program was too slow.  Any ideas?

Basically a list of chapters that for each chapter is a list of
scenes, and for each scene a text.

Thanks
