Hi Walt, I am happy to announce that the streams to text is finally updated: https://szen.io/stream/ . Thanks to Saq who has gently helped me and provided hooks within the plugin, that make it fun tinkering with the plugin, this version should be more future-proof than the last ones . As always: Backup before using it to recompress the ideas, you collected with streams.
