No need to install anything - just unzip and run.
Let us know if it works well, and if it doesn't, please give details.

Are there any fields which we can remember from one package export to the next, like the author? We want to ensure that the dialog is pleasant to use each time you need to re-export a package

Author and export location would be nice.

Package Manager does currently retain all information across exports, until the window is closed.

I think it would be good to retain them across restarts as well. As it stands now, we are making the players job of exporting packages more difficult while there are things we can do to alleviate the pain a bit 🙂. We could store these values in settings - have a look at how the connection window uses them: https://github.com/Mudlet/Mudlet/blob/development/src/dlgConnectionProfiles.cpp#L584-L588

Also noticed that when choosing to export an update to an existing package, none of sometimes the fields are not set with any previous package information. False alarm, I cannot replicate this. Likely I was using a default installed package that doesn't have this information set.

But I'll have a go at retaining the information firstly.

Added requested saving features of author and export path.

This fell through the cracks - mind resolving the conflicts so we can merge it?

Ok, the conflict was due to the recent changes in file dialogs maintaining consistency across the program. So export location still confirms to this, no longer need to save this information.
