That's why providing a setting or an option to choose if you want to export
them would be a good idea :-)

My use would be like this: I just started a week or so with setting up my
system again after a 10 year break. I signed up to receive files in a couple
of areas, and to get a small filebase to start with, I downloaded a bunch of
files for those area's from someone else's system. Some areas are created in
Allfix automatically because files already came in from my uplink, but other
areas are probably a lot more quiet. To create those area's, I wanted to take
a part of some .NA file and import in Allfix... and therefor it would be very
practical if it created them in Elebbs as well. And it would be pretty easy to
implement such a feature because all the code is already there...



Groetjes,
