I'd find this feature useful too. In addition to sharing, would be useful for simply archiving projects. Note, compressing video files with zip (or gzip or bzip2 for that matter) is not practical because the video files already have very high information entropy, since they are already compressed. So trying to do another compression on them will mostly just eat up CPU cycles. The more important part of this feature request is having all the files together and to have the files be referenced by their relative paths (not absolute paths), from where the kden project file is located. Also maybe there should be an option to include or not include generated proxies, previews, and renders, because depending on the need (e.g. simply transfer to another computer versus archiving) may or may not want all of that. And if not having proxies, then will need to update the project file to indicate that the proxies don't exist.

Have you folks tried the latest AppImage? There are new archive options... We will consider the extra importing functionality. I am closing this now. As @farid mentioned the feature is implemented and has been recently improved to export *.tar.gz or *.zip archives. It is even possible to open and extract *.tar.gz archives yet, for 21.04 I am going to enable it for *.zip files too. Git commit 301cfeb8978c69a17289923409d10c59527da292 by Julius Künzel.
