Read minimum lengths: Include read names in rest file? about cutadapt HOT 2 CLOSED

I think this is really useful, but I’m reluctant to change the file format (as bad as it is) because it wouldn’t be backwards compatible. Perhaps some scripts are already out there that rely on this. My idea for a while has been to add a new --info-file option that would also contain the "rests", but also the read name, no. of mismatches, length of the overlap etc.

But perhaps no one is really using the rest file in an automated way, I don’t know.
