Summary output: export format #6

Open FrithjofVollmer opened 1 year ago

Dear Chris,

one thing which may be aiming at the SV update rather than at the plugin: when exporting the summary output, SV writes the data with rather inconvenient separators (see screenshot: CSV file on the left, TXT file on the right ), which will make it hard for further processing since the values appear mixed up.

Is it possible to set one column for each break within the string instead? (1 – time stamp, 2 – duration in ms, ...) – also, the time stamps appear doubled (as being part of both the time instant and the string) and merged into each other, so if there is a way to omit (or hide) the second column / first value within string (= time stamp), this certainly would avoid confusion... What do you think?

Dear Chris, do you have an idea what to do about this one? (The export function would be crucial for the testers I guess, in order to draw nice correlation graphs etc...)

Mm, yes this is a bit of a practical problem. I think I mentally set it to one side the first time around because I couldn't decide what a good solution looked like. Tricky. Hmm.

...would it be conceivable to tell SV to read all breaks and slashes within the labels as separators when exporting the layer? (Thought of that since multi-line labels have been an innovation of the latest update, so adding that rule wouldn't compromise earlier SV versions?)

Also, it would be great to have a numbers-only output where numbers are the relevant information (i.e., omitting "IArt =" and units such as "%", but keeping the type indicators such as "s>L") – what do you think, is that somehow possible?
