The Lightburn files are just XML so I was wondering if there was
an option to request an export added for Lightburn file format.

The answer to that is sadly NO, and the reason is stated here:
https://forum.lightburnsoftware.com/t/is-lightburn-file-format-lbrn2-documented-or-open-sourced/56221

So if someone wants to take on the task of reverse engineering
the format from sample files and bits and pieces from their
forum and also does the needed testing, a PR would be fine.

A feature request will be closed as the format is officially
undocumented and needs proprietary software to test.

ciao,
Torsten.

That was kind of what I thought the case might be.  I just now found a python git repo that has code for generating Lightburn files.  I might have a deeper look at it's capabilities and see if maybe I can convert it into C and use it as a starting point.
