typical failure: the most important sentence put at the bottom :-}

In brief the steps to reproduce:
* create a CE of type "Text w/image"
* link an image in bodytext (RTE) of that CE
* link an image using "Images" (fieldstx_damttcontent_files)
* start a .t3d export of the page containing the new CE
** set "Include tables": tt_content
** set "Use static relations for tables": tx_dam (you can use "Include
relations to tables" here as well; in this setup it may show you, that
the relations to tx_dam_cat records are not exported)

==>
* without patch only the DAM record linked in the bodytext field is exported
* with patch the image linked in tx_damttcontent_files is exported as well

(Including the files themselves in the export isn't covered yet, neither
by the existing code nor by the patch; but that's a different story)


Best regards
Thorsten
