| If [code]true[/code], text resources are converted to a binary format on export. This decreases file sizes and speeds up loading slightly. | |||

| [b]Note:[/b] If [member editor/export/convert_text_resources_to_binary] is [code]true[/code], [method @GDScript.load] will not be able to return the converted files in an exported project. Some file paths within the exported PCK will also change, such as [code]project.godot[/code] becoming [code]project.binary[/code]. If you rely on run-time loading of files present within the PCK, set [member editor/export/convert_text_resources_to_binary] to [code]false[/code]. | |||

This needs to be changed to some useful example, it now contradicts what it just said above
However a file like foo.tscn isn't saved as foo.scn but instead export-{md5}-foo.scn etc. so unsure how to explain it here

I think the converted name (export-{md5}-foo.scn) is an implementation detail, no?

Agreed, so let's just mention it like "it will turn tscn to scn and tres to res" and perhaps mention something about how you can't open these with FileAccess, as per:
And so on, unsure exactly where to refer to, so making a note about not being able to open them directly, and to use ResourceLoader instead generally
