``target`` is a folder to which the data gets written. This includes documents,
thumbnails and a ``manifest.json`` file. The manifest contains all metadata from
the database (correspondents, tags, etc).
@ -167,6 +174,24 @@ When you use the provided docker compose script, specify ``../export`` as the
target. This path inside the container is automatically mounted on your host on
the folder ``export``.
If the target directory already exists and contains files, paperless will assume
that the contents of the export directory are a previous export and will attempt
to update the previous export. Paperless will only export changed and added files.
Paperless determines whether a file has changed by inspecting the file attributes
"date/time modified" and "size". If that does not work out for you, specify
``--compare-checksums`` and paperless will attempt to compare file checksums instead.
This is slower.
Paperless will not remove any existing files in the export directory. If you want
paperless to also remove files that do not belong to the current export such as files
from deleted documents, specify ``--delete``. Be careful when pointing paperless to
a directory that already contains other files.
The filenames generated by this command follow the format
``[date created] [correspondent] [title].[extension]``.
If you want paperless to use ``PAPERLESS_FILENAME_FORMAT`` for exported filenames
instead, specify ``--use-filename-format``.

Nothing special about this release, but since there are relatively few bug reports coming in, I think that this is reasonably stable.
* Changes and additions
* Document export
* The document exporter has been rewritten to support updating an already existing export in place.
* The document exporter supports naming exported files according to ``PAPERLESS_FILENAME_FORMAT``.
* The document exporter locks the media directory and the database during execution to ensure that
the resulting export is consistent.
* See the :ref:`updated documentation <utilities-exporter>` for more details.
* Other changes and additions
* Added a language selector to the settings.
* Added date format options to the settings.
* Range selection with shift clicking is now possible in the document list.
