Question

What are you trying to add to GrapesJS?

Ability to export images / images folder in zip download

Describe your feature request detailed

GrapeJS would be an excellent tool in which grade school children use to create their own about me page.

Not sure how difficult it would be to add ability to include image folder in zip download. See see css is exported. but not the img folder.

Looked at the grapesjs-plugin-export / index.js and see where it adds css, but I am not strong enough in JS to add image export.

Thank you in advance for your time!
