.FracExp files store Fractal metadata which can be opened in ABS-Fractal-Explorer.

What are FracExp Files?

FracExp files are used to share Fractals with others. With the default key-binds, pressing H will save the current Fractal as a FracExp file. FracExp files will store a Fractals metadata, which includes coordinates, iterations, the Fractal ID number, the Type of Fractal, along with other parameters.

The following functionality is not currently available, and will be added in a future update: The files can store additional data such as the file creation time, and the authors name (The user must opt in for the authors information to be stored in the FracExp file). FracExp files are additionally capable of storing multiple Fractals, storing user-defined Fractal names and descriptions, and preforming file integrity checks.

It is not recommended to manually edit a raw FracExp file unless you know what you are doing.
