Unfortunately that's not an option. The Makerbot uses .x3g files instead of .gcode, so if I save the file in the format the script can use, the printer can't use it and vice versa. I guess I'll just have to wait for the bug to be fixed.
It would be really nice if there was a heating time parameter you could set so the hotend gets to run temp a second or two before it needs to start extruding. That wouldn't cause drooling or filament burn, but wouldn't waste time, either.

The added temperature instructions are a known bug in Cura 5.7.2. You can either try using the 5.8 beta or I wrote a post-processing script that will automatically delete them. So that's almost certainly the easier issue 🙂
I'm not an expert on dual extruder printers (I'd really like to have one though 🥲) I've had a look through all the settings and can't find anything that seems like what you want. It's probably just being Cura being conservative to prevent the extruder that's being switched to from drooling while it's waiting at printing temperature, plus having a hot end with no filament in it stay hot for a while is bad (although so is having a hot end with filament in it stay hot).
