Structure of an export configuration
Each export configuration consists minimally of a subdirectory, an options file and a template:
  • Image <subdirectory> — the subdirectory name is the name of the export which can be selected in Output user interface.
    • Image export.cfg — options for this export.
    • Image <template>.<ext> — template, defining the content of the export.
