Trying to open old journler entires - the app crashes everytime

[sowsysauce]

Does anybody know if there is any way that I can read the contents of old entries made using this app? I have the Journler folder still on my hard drive, with a number of entries (containing .jrtfd files)

I am trying to launch the app on an old computer (Early 2015 MacBook air, Intel Core i5), High Sierra 10.13.6, but it crashes every time before I can read the entries.

I won't even think about trying on my newer M1 macs...

I have these old entries from 14 years. I would love to be able to read them!

This issue is over a month old, so you may have discovered the solution already: the .jrtfd files are packages, so if you control-click/right-click on them and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu, you will see the contents of the package like any other folder, which in this case will be an Entry.rtfd file, which is a standard Mac file format that opens in TextEdit. If you have some basic programming skills, you can write a simple script to copy all the Entry.rtfd files into a single folder and even convert them to a different format. A quick google search finds this AppleScript that uses Apple Pages to batch convert .rtfd files.
