export patched binary Windows/PE with added section

[haai]

I have a binary in PE format with a new section containing a patch added to the memory map.
When I export the binary to PE format again the patch section is not available in the exported binary.
Is this not supported or is this there some configuration missing?

This is the release note for that feature:

Exporter. For programs imported with the PE and ELF loaders, new exporters are available that write back to the original file layout. Any file-backed bytes that were modified by the user in the program database will be reflected in the written file (except on relocations). Writing back a modified Memory Map is not supported. (GP-786, Issue #1501, #1505, #19)

If you have added a new section, you likely added a memory block. The export will not work with this. We have no plans to support this.
