I have the beta running for X-Plane. No issues so far. Manually deleted the mutant configs from the config file.

Request sent. Thank you.

I am using the X-Plane version of AAO in XP 12. I only have four existing configs. But somehow I got scores of mutations. Any idea how to fix it or should I do a clean install of AAO?

I just have the Windows 11 stock Windows Security and a Samsung nvme drive, so no problems with the system. The slow loading script from Chris was the A320 one which had 11 categories. I had to click the box for each one for import. AAO hung up and after several minutes I closed it. But your option to remove the <edition> is a plus either way because it will eliminate superfluous characters and reduce file sizes. And your new tool tip will make it clearer for creators to understand.

It only takes a few seconds to remove all <edition> tags in Notepad++. Thanks to Grok.

OK. Thanks for explaining that. So I have just one question. Those large xml files that are 90% edition text, does that cause any delay in the scripts when I press a button on my Stream Deck? Because I can easily strip those files of the edition with a regex search and replace in Notepad++.

I guess the problem is I never actually exported a script until I tried to figure out why Chris and Guenter had all that extra text in their scripts and they have been doing this for a while. So maybe they didn't realize that option was there. I'm more a script user than creator. But I did a test export and saw that AAO is inserting it. But the thing is I only learned what 'edition' is yesterday. I had to investigate it as I am not a programmer. I wish options like that had 'tool tips' because AAO has a heavy learning curve for the common user.

I'll inform ChrisPU and Guenseli.

You have to read in miles of stuff that does not apply. Every one of hundreds of item entries has this:

That works. It seem like it would be better to invert that option because the default is creating massive files with non applicable font and typography text. And the guys creating profiles don't appear to know about this.

I use several Stream Deck profiles from the most prolific creators on Flightsim.to and I create some of my own. I have noticed some of the xml script group files have over on million characters, mostly contained in <edition> tags that pertain to fonts and typography. For example one file, A320Neo.xml, has over 1.1 million characters and takes so long to load into AAO that it hangs the program. But the version I made with the <edition> tags deleted loads in one second on an overwrite of the existing scripts. And all of the actions work on the Stream Deck, so I have demonstrated that the <edition> tags are not needed. I want to inform the profile creators of this but I wanted to run it by you first to be sure I am not missing anything. I seems AAO is adding these <edition> tags upon export of the script. I'm on Windows 11 and MSFS 2020 and the latest release of AAO. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54820455221_4c4c76c1a6_b.jpg
