The bug
Storyboarder has e bug that makes it impossible to use it with a .fountain file where scenes have uuids with dashes.
According to the fountain spec. Scenes can have numberings that can also contain dashes. At the moment, Storyboarder fails to deal with these uuids. It doesn’t let you change scenes in the storyboard and tries to create new folders every time you reopen the project.
Example screenplay:
INT. DRISKILL HOTEL SEMINAR ROOM - DAY #805852b7-0976-41a7-b3cb-7bc72c092512#
JOE catches his breath as he leans against the podium at the front of the Room
JOE
(rapidly speaking)
Are we in time?
CUT TO:
APRIL
How could they start without us? We're the main attraction.
EXT. TEXAS CAPITOL BUILDING - DAY #878e8232-8746-4ea5-9dcc-aa837c0dfd61#
JOE looks startled as he stands with April before the seat of Texas politics.
APRIL
How d'you do that?
APRIL
There was a cut.
