Hi there! Stumbled on SkyTools 4 recently (followed a link from the article on C/2019 Q4), and it looks super impressive. Going to do a bit more reading but I'm basically sold. Planning out targets is always stressful for me since our skies are not suitable for observing most nights...so I really want to make the most of the clear nights we do get. 
I was curious if NINA (https://nighttime-imaging.eu/, repo is at: https://bitbucket.org/Isbeorn/nina/src) plan export might be possible sometime in the future? NINA is another sequencer and control software similar to SGP, but relatively new and under very active development. It works a lot better/faster for me than SGP so I've pretty much completely switched over.
NINA saves/loads sequences to a simple XML format. Since ST4 can emit ACP (which I think is just a textual format?), I'm guessing it would be possible to do a similar thing for NINA. I'm a developer myself, so I know nothing is ever as simple as it sounds though
Anyhow, ST4 looks fantastic! Just wanted to raise a feature request for NINA export in case you have some spare cycles. Cheers!
