Description
Hi,
Prequisite: I'm using Windows 11 and LocalWP.
When I export the theme using the Site Editor the name of the themefolder inside the ZIP is not the same as my installed theme. It seems like it uses the textdomain as a foldername. When using the legacy settings page (Appearance > Create Block Theme) the themefolder has the correct name.
Furthermore, the themefolder inside the ZIP file contains an empty folder (root?) with type "local disk". This file contains some of my image assets.

Reproduce the Site Editor export on Windows 11 with LocalWP and compare its ZIP structure with an export from Appearance > Create Block Theme. Trace the export paths and verify that the theme folder matches the installed theme, with no unexpected empty folder containing image assets.
