When I look at RSD generated "export" folder there are some useless files :
socialicons (I not use them in my pages)
foundation.css (my pages only call foundations.min.css)
same for jquery.js, what-input.js, fondation.js, ..., etc.

and now appear new intricated folders: editor/responsive-site-designer/canvas/images (all empty !)
what's wrong doctor ?

Well, I can delete all unused files but would be nice if RSD do this job when export...

I cannot answer for the social icons, they seem to be part of every project whether they have been used or not.

As to the css and js files, it happens at times that someone needs to edit them after export, and it is easier to edit an unminified file than a minified one. Such files can be compressed or decompressed (or minified/unminified), but not everybody knows that. If they edit a file that is not minified, they can just change the link to point to that one instead of the minified version.

The social icons folder can be prevented from exporting as follows.

(a) In the RSD project file click on the Resources icon to open the Project Resource box.
(b) In the left-hand panel select the 'socialicons' folder.
(c) At the bottom of that panel click on the Remove Folder button.

Because 'overwriting' exports don't delete any files, any social icons folder in the previous export will need to be deleted manually, but this won't be necessary on subsequent exports, or on 'new' exports (e.g. if one does it when one starts a new project file).
