Comment (by mrprmiller):

 I'm reading through this thread, and I think there's some confusion.
 Playing through ScummVM and leaving the expected prefix for imports into
 QFG2 as "qfg2adgi" doesn't fit the established formula. For the sake of
 the end-user of Quest for Glory games, it should be consistent.

 QFG1 doesn't have imports, but exports as QFG1-*
 QFG2EGA ONLY accepts QFG1-* as import, but exports as QFG2EGA-*
 QFG3 ONLY accepts QFG2-* as import, but exports as QFG3-*
 QFG4 ONLY accepts QFG3-* as import, but exports as QFG4-*

 What is being suggested, unless I'm missing something, is a change to the
 way every other game in the series works. **''QFG2AGDI accepts QFG2AGDI-*
 as import, and then exports as QFG2AGDI-*''**.

 One of these things is not like the others, and is going to cause
 confusion to end-users going through the game. The import/export system
 isn't just a small part of the system - it is a major part of the QFG
 experience.

 Since QFG2EGA **ONLY** accepts QFG1 imports, it makes sense to set
 QFG2AGDI to also accept QFG1 since it **ONLY** accepts those imports.

 The parallel is QFG1EGA and QFG1VGA - they both export correctly as QFG1
 to make sure the players don't have to do any renaming to make it work.
