| Summary | 0009244: Scribes rarely, if ever, copy works in the library | ||||
| Description | Scribes almost never copy works. I would say "never" but someone on reddit said their scribe copied one work after a long long time. Clearly this isn't working as intended. I expect that if the "total number of each to scribe" is set to more than 1 and your library has available reading materials, then the scribe should make as many copies of each work in the library as is requested. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Set up a fully stocked library (tables, chairs, writing materials, bookcases) with books both written by dwarves in your fort and purchased from traders on the shelves. Assign a dwarf to the Scribe occupation and disable all their labors. Set "Total number of each to scribe" to a high value (like 4) in the location menu. Wait for months/seasons/years while your scribe doesn't copy any books.  | ||||
| Additional Information | This has been corroborated by others on the forum and reddit. | ||||

	I might have just fixed this, but I'll need a save to check. |

	Reminder sent to: spwndlove Do you have a save demonstrating this issue? If so, please compress (.zip) your DF/data/save/region folder, upload it to http://dffd.bay12games.com/, and post a link to it in the bug report. Toady may have fixed it and needs a save to verify. Thanks.  |

	OK, I uploaded my save. Here's the link: http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=11427 |

	Cool -- I saw the scribe copy Position for Everyone and another book, so it seems to be working. |
