Export Feature

Why did you remove the feature to export a collection of games to a .zip file? I wanted to export a .zip file including some games and emulators so that I could transfer them in a convenient format to a friend's computer because he didn't know much about emulating. Upon trying to do it, I found that a feature that was already working just fine had been removed because the developer deemed there was a suitable alternative to doing it? What kind of thinking is that? It was a feature that worked perfectly fine, but was taken out because not everyone needed to use it? What kind of sense does that make?

When I bought the premium version of LaunchBox a while back I was under the impression that some of the features I had bought it for were just going to be taken out on a whim just because I now have the miraculous ability to compile all the files myself and create an archive on my own? Well then what do I need LaunchBox for in the first place?

It makes absolutely no sense to remove a feature that worked perfectly fine. When you take it out and just say "now it's as simple as just copying the platform's XML file and media files between installations", realize that that was something I could always do before you took the feature out, and didn't because doing so was an annoyance and an inconvenience.

    We removed the feature, because it was, in fact, not working fine. It was often broken with every change we made. If you would like a refund, please just let me know. Otherwise, it should be as simple as just zipping up your LaunchBox folder.
