Considering what Adobe had to endure when they introduced their cloud subscription model I think this discussion was rather civil. Does anyone remember the petition at change.org to ‘eliminate the mandatory “creative cloud” subscription model’? It grew to over 47,000 signatures.Tobor wrote:I just don't want to wake up one day and find all my files inaccessible because of a system update or something and have the license support gone.mikehalloran wrote:Yes, I'm up for an export tool but I back up my lyrics (copy/paste to Word) and have never used the audio functions.
I don't want to be one of those ranters who declares that, since it wasn't done my way, I am done with Master Writer. I hope that a future update is better and, if it is, I am back in.
I’ll continue to use Adobe CS6 and I am confident that Apple will check for incompatibilities in future OS updates. I am equally confident that I can open my Adobe CS6 files in TIFF, PNG, PDF or EPS 20 years from now.
With MasterWriter, however, I would not be as confident. It just isn’t popular enough for Apple to check for incompatibilities. Adobe has over 215,000 likes on Facebook while MasterWriter has only over 1,400. If you plan to continue to use it then Mike’s suggestion to backup up your work in Word with copy and paste makes a lot of sense. It’s better to be safe than sorry. Good luck!
