Introduction

Available since v5.1.0

It is possible to import and export an entire store to an archive file that can be easily shared and distributed between devices. For example, they can be used to distribute a common tiles 'package' to all users.

Exported stores contain all of their contents, including metadata and cached statistics.

The archives are in the ZIP format, meaning the contents can be inspected and modified easily by many programs (such as 7zip). The archives do not have any compression applied as it is ineffective against the already compressed tiles.

Although the exported stores are a ZIP format internally, they can have any file extension applied to them - '.fmtc' is used in the example application. The name of the file dictates the name of the store that will be used when importing.
