ANSi is a bit of a mess of a format for compatibility, with different programs interpreting control characters completely differently from anything resembling a specification.

ANSi import/export options should probably be broken out to their own separate dialogs and supplemented with:

  • Strip/no-strip char 0
  • Strip/no-strip char 7
  • Strip/no-strip char 8
  • Strip/no-strip char 9
  • Strip/no-strip char 12
  • Strip/no-strip char 26
  • Strip/no-strip char 27 that isn't followed by a [


XBin support should also be added, which is a much simpler format. It would also need import/export dialogs to configure embedded charset/palette and SAUCE.

Finally, a nice to have would be a horizontal radio button element extension, so the TXT/ANSi/XBin option could be compacted to one line in the export file manager.
