Custom Plugin: Extract Connector Pinouts into external Files

Hello People,

I am new to the forums, but have been dabbling in kicad plugins for a short while. I made this plugin for extracting the net names of selected connectors into a markdown/csv files. My primary use case for this is documentation and tracking connectors/connections.

Its hosted here KiCAD_Plugins_Wayri/extract_pins_plugin at develop · wayri/KiCAD_Plugins_Wayri · GitHub

You can select anything on the board and generate the CSV/markdown with it, but originally meant for connectors like J** or other custom names (that needs some manual property/field addition to the footprints).

Not sure if this is the correct place to post it. Have a look, give it a try and if I may ask, what kind of use-cases will this be useful for, or any other features/additions which are relevant that can be added to it
