Option to download an exported theme archive
A front-side theme can be exported to the drive. There’s an option to delete unused templates from the drive on export.
Could there also be an option to download the exported theme, as a form of backup etc?

Re: Option to download an exported theme archive
If we do an export. I’d really really like to do import too. It struck me recently that I’ve downloaded a theme I want to reuse as it’d fit a client site. But all I have is a Txp login. No file system access.
So there’s no way to install the theme without either using a bit of custom PHP to read it in and stuff it in the filesystem somehow. Or create an empty theme and copy / paste each template file into pages and forms within it, via the admin side.
A ball ache either way. So I second this export if we can do it. And to create a mirror import feature alongside it.
