Are there any plans for RemoteMaster to include a handy feature for converting device upgrade files (for most if not all IR protocols including certain combos) into LIRC files?

You can use IrScrutinizer to import (many) RM device upgrades, and then export them to Lirc format,
described here. Note that version 1.4 and 1.4.1 are much better to generate Lirc exports, not just as raw lircd.conf files. The problem is of course to map the protocol ("executor" more precisely) of the RM to the well known protocols,
Your suggestions for improvements are welcome.
IMHO, RM is a program for handling JP1 remotes, and it should not grow in "all" directions, in particular not when open-source programs already exists, performing the requested tasks. Cf.
Zawinski's principle.
