When you export files to a custom module using /export, where is this module located? I'd like to be able to work on my laptop copy of FG, export it, then import it onto my desktop copy of FG.

The FG Data folder is reached by clicking the folder icon in the top right of the FG launch screen (above the version number).

I still can't find it. Here (https://i725.photobucket.com/albums/ww259/eryndur1/Screen%20Shot%202015-04-22%20at%208.03.57%20PM_zpsckg4kdas.png) is a screenshot of FG with the chat window indicating that my module was exported successfully. And here (https://i725.photobucket.com/albums/ww259/eryndur1/Screen%20Shot%202015-04-22%20at%208.01.59%20PM_zpskoet0jpa.png) is a screenshot of my FG data folder with the Modules subfolder open. My custom module is nowhere to be found. Any suggestions?

Zeus to the rescue, perhaps?

Perhaps the "Adding files from outside Fantasy Grounds" tip here might help: https://steamcommunity.com/app/252690/discussions/2/626329820884543295/

Those tips are good for piecemeal file selection, but I'd like a simple way to save all my campaign files in one fell swoop, and open them back up from another computer running FG. Could I just copy all the contents of a specific campaign folder into the cloud or onto a thumb drive, and then paste them into the general campaign subfolder of FG installed on the destination computer?

Copy the \campaigns directory to get all campaigns, or just copy the specific campaign directory from within \campaigns from one computer to another. Obviously, copy the most recent one... ;) If you want to change the campaign name, just change the directory name with you copy - the directory name is the campaign name when you load up FG.

Yeah, that was what I was trying to say, but a lot less intelligibly. ;) Ok, I'll give that a whirl. Thanks again for your quick help, Trenloe!

Yep, that did the trick! Shame about the module export function on a Mac, though. I'd love to know where that file went to.
