Exporting / sharing scene #1653

Open ShirleyNekoDev opened 11 months ago

It would be neat to have a way to export a scene for sharing it with others to let them help with rendering.

This could be done by copying/compressing relevant files into a ZIP while excluding irrelevant files like snapshots and backups. This should also include embedded custom textures as described in #1652.

Exported scenes can probably not resolve the world from which they were created (at least when copied to other computers), in which case the world map tab as well as the reload chunk buttons should probably be disabled.

This feature could also be used to archive old renders to save space. In this case the user should have to select which snapshots should be included.
