Provide an option to use custom folder name instead of _next

Feature request

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

We tried to run next export command to generate static assets and to pack our app with cordova or capacitor. It turns out that those engines omit any folders that begin with an underscore without warning. And once you run next export some of the files are put inside of _next directory. So, to run the app one has to find a way to rename this folder and all links inside generated files not to include underscore.

Describe the solution you’d like

It would be really nice to have an option available in next.config.js to provide a name of that directory to be used instead of _next.

We’re not planning to allow changing the _next folder name as of currently.

Using Next + Static Export cannot be used to write a chrome extension because of this limitation.
