Out of interest what kind of file format does Scriviner use? Is it vaguely human readable or some kind of proprietary blob?
- thebooktocome 5y agoProprietary with exports to markdown, PDF, RTF, plain text, etc.
- staticman2 5y agoIf I recall correctly a Scriviner file is actually a nested collection of rich text format (.rtf) files with a indexing file.
- kayodelycaon 5y agoThe Mac version is actually a package. (folder pretending to be a file; OS-level feature) The text files are RTF. It uses xml for some metadata. But the structure is a byzantine nest of folders with uuid (or hash, can’t remember) names. It’s effectively proprietary but if you’re desperate, you can retrieve all of the individual files as they are standard formats.
