Description
This plugin provides an "Export Zip" option in its Editor menu, which will flush the WP cache, create a theme zip file, add all templates, add all activated font files, and then make the zip file available for download. However, Core also provides an "Export" option via the Editor Tools menu. This export differs slightly in that it doesn't include the font assets with the export (are there any other differences?)
This plugin should help make it more clear what the "Export Zip" option includes, possibly by just adding some descriptive text underneath the link.
