Option to remove extradata info? #11

Closed Fyurie closed 10 years ago

Fyurie commented 10 years ago

The extradata is great for keeping scripts clean while you work on them, but once you're happy with a sign, you're left with a bunch of invisible data bloating script sizes.

I don't suppose it's possible to add an option to remove that data?

Should be a separate script, because extradata is not exclusive to Aegisub-Motion.

Fyurie commented 10 years ago

I'd be inclined to agree, but this is one of the few, if there are even any others, using the data.

Aegisub versions post 3.2 deduplicate extradata so that resulting scripts are not nearly as bloated.

The point of using extradata was to make it so that the original lines could be easily restored using a macro, even after scripts had been demuxed. Unfortunately, both MKVToolNix and Aegisub got in the way of this plan.

That said, an extradata cleaner is precisely counter to the entire reason I started using extradata, so I'm certainly not going to write one. If people want to be idiots, I can't stop them, though.
