What a contest!

It'd be great if someone could implement the tool to export Interoperability components into a local folder with every changes saved in the interoperability UI?

Currently git-source-control can do the job, but it is not complete. Some Interoperability components (e.g. business rules) are not being exported. And lookup tables are exported in an not importable format.

I published and idea regarding it.

@Evgeny Shvarov as we've covered in GitHub issues, the business rule issue is a product-level issue (in the new Angular rule editor only, not the old Zen rule editor). I clarified https://github.com/intersystems/git-source-control/issues/225 re: the importable format.

The non-"wrapped" XML export format is importable by git-source-control and, I believe, IPM itself, although not by $System.OBJ.Load. It's just a matter of preference/readability. In a package manager context being loadable by $System.OBJ.Load isn't as important, and while the enclosing <Export> and <Document> tags aren't as annoying for XML files as for XML-exported classes/routines/etc., they're still annoying and distract from the true content of the document.
