Export collects recognized files from every workspace root into one output resource and generates a new fxmanifest.lua.

Export a workspace

1. Add and scan the workspace folders.
2. Open Export.
3. Choose Export Destination Folder.
4. Enter Resource Name (default: optimized_vehicles).
5. Click Export Now and wait for progress to finish.
6. Open the result from the completion dialog.

File placement rules

Input	Destination
.yft, .ytd	stream/
Recognized vehicles, handling, carcols, carvariations, or vehiclelayouts meta/XML	data/
.rel, .dat, .nametable	audioconfig/
.awc	sfx/, or sfx/dlc_<prefix>/ when its parent uses that pattern

If a destination filename already exists, Export appends _1, _2, and so on. Other file types are not copied. A standard manifest is generated from detected files and audio prefixes.

Important limitations

• All workspace roots are combined and metadata folder structure is flattened.
• Collision renaming preserves both files, but internal references or the manifest may still use the old name.
• Audio prefixes are detected only from filenames ending in _game.dat; some REL layouts require manual manifest fixes.
• Scripts, configuration, licenses, README files, and custom assets are omitted.
• An existing output directory is not cleared before export.

“Export successful” means copying completed, not that the resource is valid. Review the output, remove stale files, correct the manifest, and test on a development server before deployment.
