Save App to TXA automatically

As @seanh noted in the IDE Options you can setup Auto Export/Import:

Or in C11 they added this:

FEATURE: Adding a .dct.BinaryImport file into a directory will turn on automatic import/export for dct files. Similarly the existence of a .app.BinaryImport file will turn on import/export of app files. This file can be empty or contain multiple lines with each line being a file pattern to match files. If the file is empty, then all dct/app files will be imported/exported. Otherwise only files that match at least one of the file patterns will be imported/exported.

This Auto Export also saves the APP as a file with an “.APV” extension that is in TXA format. This does NOT just “also save a TXA”. The APV is the Primary Load file, so the IDE builds the APP from the APV. If there is no APV then it opens the APP.

I’m not sure if this is in the Help, it may be in the PDF docs. It was described in the Blog:
