What is the difference between save (^S) and export (^W) commands in Theme Converter?

Hello.

I just can’t figure out why there are different commands: save (File -> Save ^ S) and export the theme (Wordpress -> Export the theme ^ W)? When you click on the “save” command, the theme files are also exported:

In which cases do I need to use the save ^S command, and in which cases the export ^W command?
Why are these commands not combined into one?

Hi @Catative,
With more complex projects there are times when not all files will be exported when you save the current file. Pinegrow will notify you if this is the case.
