"Zip Up Project" doesn't include plugins

Hello,

I believe this is a bug:

  1. Create a new c++ UE4 project
  2. Add a plugin to the project (so you have a plugin folder in your game folder)
  3. Open the editor
  4. Click File → Package Project → Zip Up Project and choose a place to store the zip
  5. Open up the zip file in windows
  6. Note that there is no plugin folder in the zip

Expected result: The zip should contain the plugin folder and plugin files.

This feature would be very useful for sending our project to external contractors etc, but it’s not really usable in its current state.

Thanks,

Hello eyesiah,

This is actually not a bug, but rather a feature request. We are aware of the Plugins folder not being included in the zip up project menu option. With that said, thank you for taking the time to enter this feature request as I have gone ahead and created a ticket to have the request looked over.
