## ExportAsLocalFilesAsync(string)

Exports the current pacz to an uncompressed folder. This has the side-effect of forcing any current state in `Phoenix.PaczAPI.IExtractedPacz.Config` to the extraction folder but otherwise does not affect this object or `Phoenix.PaczAPI.IReadOnlyExtractedPacz.PaczSource`.
