Feature request: export pattern data as plain-text JSON file format or similar

[fcento100]

It would be extremely useful if the pattern data could be exported to plain-text JSON file format for example.

At the moment I'm having to re-implement what I've done in the pattern editor to deserialize the binary file in python. Happy to hear about alternative ways of achieving the same result.

Hey! This is possible to do right now through the plcli util. It's not properly released yet but you can download it from the Actions tab of https://github.com/WerWolv/PatternLanguage. The goal is to ultimately integrate this functionality into ImHex as well but we're not quite there yet

Just a quick note for anyone coming across this discussion later in case you missed it like me:

There had already been a button shown as the following that lets you export to JSON and other formats easily.

Thanks again to the developers — things have improved a lot since this thread was first opened 🙌
