SSF files - why not json? #142

Closed working-name closed 2 weeks ago

working-name commented 2 weeks ago

Describe the problem

Exported a session file to see if I can read it. It's not plaintext and I don't understand why. I'm back to the same problem - can't read a session file, except, now I'm dependent on yet another third party. I would prefer a simple, user readable json. I'm sure that's appropriate enough for an app like this one.

Describe the proposed solution

Allow plain json exporting of the session.

Unchecking "Compress session data when saving" exports it into uncompressed JSON format. The reason it isn't the default is that it is much more storage efficient to compress it to a non readable format.

I should probably clarify in the option itself that it exports it as JSON to be more clear.
