Comment 3 for bug 1834336

Thanks Arthur, that'd be great, no hurry! I've mostly just recycled existing functions in xpad, and it seems to be working quite well now to call it from shell scripts that process the files directly, though I'll have to do some more testing.

One possible issue is that I'm not sure right now what xpad's autosave interval / logic is. If the script runs too quickly after making a change in xpad, xpad might overwrite any changes made outside it (but I haven't done enough testing / digging into the code to fully confirm this yet).
