Topic: Feature request: Midimap configuration via text file

Custom midi maps are being stored in .ptm files, which contain binary data that cannot be easily edited.  As far as I can tell, this means the only real way to, for example, map program changes to my MIDI device is to use the MIDI learn feature for each preset I want mapped.  This is impractical if I want to map all the presets I've purchased.

Could a text file format be supported for storing these presets?  This would allow quick editing and adding of new mappings.  Or maybe there's already some fast way to do this I'm unaware of?

+1 for this request.
It would make controlling Pianoteq on a embedded system a lot easier for me.
