Export wish: choice of line endings

In Export>GEDCOM>Options, the line ending will always be CR (Mac style) and there is no option for choosing other line endings. I want to use exported ged files in a specialized program on a PC, so the ending needs to be CRLF. Other people using the file on UNIX may want it to be FF.

Add a setting for line ending, please?

Thx, Kevin
