I was reading the packaging documentation and discovered a build variable that would allow me to specify the location of export templates. The export templates will be compiled alongside the editor but will be installed in a different directory. I would like editor to be able to find the templates automatically without the user having to download other export templates.

I was wondering if the variable is deprecated or will be deprecated in future updates.
