Description
Export the locator numbers and names to a text file for use with the Setlist plugin.
This is a tweak on fgc.CuePointExport.
UPDATE:
1.2: Fixed locator ID/name pairing being shifted by one row in the exported text file.
1.1: I increased the zl slice @max. Seems to work better now.
Note: This exports locator IDs and names only. It does not export locator timecode.

it doesn't show me the timecode and the locators are in no particular order and it doesn't start from the first...
I have these locators assigned:
Locator 1
Locator 2
Locator 3
Locator 4
Locator 5
Locator 6
the generated text file looks like this:
2||
3||Locators 2
4||Locators 3
5||Locators 5
6||Locators 4
7||Locators 1
so wrong order, no playing time hh:mm:ss and starts from number 2 instead of number 1
Would it be feasible to correct and extend this "M4L Device"?
I have some (simple) ideas on my mind. I would be happy if we can discuss it.
Examples of Outputs:
01) 00:00:00 Name Locator
01. [00:00:00] Locator name
01. Locator name [ 00:00:00 ]
[ 00:00:00 ] Locator name
etc.

Instead of this:
390||AUTOSTOP
391||A Little Bit of Love / 2:51 / A
445||Linecheck
I couldn't figure out how to fix this error with M4L so I've just been using a javascript script to fix the output file after the fact.
Regarding showing the time in the output, I don't need that data for my purposes. But you're certainly welcome to add it if you like.
