Incomplete Export
Issue #1781
new
Launchbox version: 6.11 OS: Windows 10 ver 1607 How often does it occur: Always
When exporting games from Launchbox to a .zip file it doesn't include the Launchbox application or any associated files. The resulting zip file includes the folders Emulators, Games, and Images along with ReadMe.txt saying that you can run LaunchBox.exe to play games but doesn't include any of the LaunchBox files.
Enclosed is an example of a game that I tried to export along with screenshots of the wizard to show the settings used to create the export.

Major? No, I'm going to stick by my call on posting this issue with a priority of 'minor'. Manually copying all the files you mentioned, though, is really only appropriate if you're exporting the entire contents of a platform but gets a little sticky if you're only doing a partial transfer.

Thanks Hellfire, I'm actually thinking we're going to remove the import and export to zip package features largely just because it's a lot easier to do it now that the XML files are split up. It should be just a matter of copying the images, the xml, videos, etc. for a system in order to move a system to a different installation. I'd also have to revamp a lot of the import/export code in order to make it work, so I think I'm going to just disable it for 6.12. Let me know if this is a major issue for you.
