Hi there, over the down period post Xmas, I´ve spent some time making a little command line app that interrogates a save file and shows neatly what science you´ve completed, sorted on body and biome. By tomorrow I´ll have it so that you can select what body you want the overview of - and soon(tm) export to PDF for printout.

Anyhow, when done to the specs for a version 1, I´ll compile for Windows (currently on Mac and Linux, because that are my dev environments - Windows are for games, not work ). Source code of course will be open source (MIT License) and available on github - and if any modder want to translate it to some KSP2 mod, that´s in C# right? So shouldn´t be too different from the Go source, you not only have my blessing - but also encouragment. I´ll not have the time - I just wrote it initially for myself to get an overview of the science I´d already done. But hey, sharing is caring, right?

I´ll edit this post when I have more. Have a continued merry Xmas and a soon to be happy new year!

Current release have some issues on Windows with how the console is treated - it won't clear the console and start writing from top-left for each "screen", but rather just continue downwards. Turns out Windows console works different from Mac/Linux, whodda' thunk it?! Anyhow - I do have a solution, but will require some extra time, so that is a tomorrow problem. I'll have it fixed before New-Year, I promise!

I'll also look into having the app go directly to the KSP2 save-file folder rather than doing the current copy-paste. But I won't promise any ETA on that.
