Removing garbage from txt-files? What is the big deal? Pattern matching in ANY programming language should do the trick. I mean ... Perl could probably do this in a handfull of lines.

@BlackVoid: Btw: I have not participated in the development of the mentioned programs in any way, but I am a programmer myself, though take this as a kind of "neutral spotters opinion":
You are rude. (Destructive) criticism of (free) programs like "is a major pain in the a**" without constructive proposals is a no-go.

Why should the program store the settings? If used on the commandline those settings can be stored in a script, normally you will need new settings for each conversions, ... - though storing the sessions will actually be more of a handicap than not doing it ..
I *don't* like my command-line-programs to store *any* settings, unless they can be changed in a text-only settingsfile. Just saving my session-settings? No, please, no!. Just my 2 cent.
