The Export facility has two options Folder or zip file. When working on an html site it is necessary to write in the folder name of the site to ensure the files are saved in the correct folder. This leads to a) potential for error in mistyping the folder name and ending up with more that one copy of the project files and b) a poor workflow when working on more than one website as opening an existing project means the name of the newly opened project folder has to be entered on export or c) forgetting to change the folder name could result in overwriting the wrong project files. One of two options are required:
1. The Nicepage project "remembers" the folder name and export path chosen when the project is first exported so that when a project is reopened it is guaranteed that it will be exported to the same place.
2. A "File" option is added to the Export Panel (my prefered option) that when selected would remove the name field and enable the selection of the folder using the path selection field (a new folder could be created if required within this process as with any other file saving process)
