2020-11-17 - https://youtu.be/m9ogV8hoM2U

Read Marker Files Content into Script
Extract Type of Mareker File (premiere, audition, resolve)
Request Different Fromats (detailed, shownotes)
Read values from CSV files (tab or comma separated)
Map values into one common object format
- While mapping, also convert timecode depending on output format
- This should be done upon output in later versions
Output an array of lines in either one or the other format
Join those with new lines, and output the transformed text content to the console

TODO LIST

Make the markconvert a class with options
Make it so that the formatting can be done after everything is already read
Make it so that the Marker Types are collected in an array for use in the interface and filtering
Make it so that certain settings can be read by the outside world
- Marker Source Program
- Marker Types
- Time Format
- With this information the interface than can change accordingly and provide buttons for certain settings or disable them.
Make Filter Settings Available (and use them upon creating the output lines)

Alfred Workflow

Version that reads the file from the File Action
Try to give different options upon calling "Reformat File" in File Actions.
- Alternative, offer different output formats and filters that I can setup in Alfred and by setting certain process.args in the call…
Also try to ask for delivery option:
- copy to clipboard
- update file and rename (post-fix / pre-fix / file extension)
- update file content without rename
- create new file with new name (post-fix / pre-fix)

Basic interface to paste markers => read into engine => displaid on text form next to source => buttons above give options for filters & output format => update output on button click => copy to clipboard button

File Ingest
