So I've been going back through my writing folder and exporting every scrivener project from the last 8 years because the Linux version is no longer in development and it don't work post Ubuntu 16.04.

PROPRIETARY FORMATS ARE BAD, M'KAY?

There's so many projects *falls over*

@vamp scrivener isn't proprietary. It's just rtf files in a series of compressed folders. I've unpacked them before.

@trishussey @vamp But do any other tools open / access them natively?

(I suspect LibreOffice might.)

Christ. When's the last time I used a full-fledged wordprocessor for anything? I think /that/ has been decades.

@dredmorbius @vamp anything that reads Rtf will do. It was the official suggestion for a while before Scrivener for Windows came out. Granted it's a touch messy, but it's not closed at all.
