Export files outside of res:// path?

So I have a file (itch.toml) that must be distributed beside the .exe and .pck file (so there is 3 files in the directory). I see in Godot that everything pasted into the folder structure ends up in the res:// root and placed in a resulting pck. I am trying to prevent that.

Is there a setting somewhere in godot to make this happen? Or is it only possible with external tools?

In the export settings, there is a tab called “Resources” where you can choose which resources to export (to the .pck file). As far as I know there is no option to automatically copy the other files to the export folder, so you will need to do that yourself.
