OK, I give up! I cannot get my head around export path rules. I'm obviously doing something wrong because I keep getting the import path as the export path, which I guess is the default setting if the rule is corrupt.

How do I do it?

To update everything to a single folder, you will need to press the [...] button to the right of the "Rule" field in order to choose an export folder, then specify [OrigFileNameExt] as the rule. If you have unique file names, all files will be exported to that folder.
