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 work for me, I use the version ...
    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.

    @nickygdj yeah, for me the output shows the locators shifted down one row. So I get this:
    390||
    391||AUTOSTOP
    445||A Little Bit of Love / 2:51 / A
    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.

    Thanks for reporting this. Version 1.2 fixes the shifted ID/name output bug where the first row could be blank and each locator name appeared one row late. It still only exports ID and name, not timecode.
