Exactly why I asked there be a Ascii version of the file format Grabiel, it makes community programmed exporters much easyer.
What would be lovely would be a binary format (like now) an ascii format and a command line 'compiler' to compile the ascii format into the faster loading binary one.
It would then be a lot easyer for people (even I could do it) to program xsi and maya exporters relativly easy in ascii format, then at the end of the mel/vbscipt script put the file through the compiler and you would have yourself a nice fast loading binary.
