Yes I went to preferences and put my .lib & .mod files as part of the project by adding them but they were in my project folder and the modification was on my project file. .pro
If I save them to the kicad lib folder your saying things should work localy but what if I want to share this design so libraries schematic symbols .lib & footprint modules .mod also are shared?
That is where I started putting them in the project folder...
So would that be a bug or is their a better way to do that?
I see their is the .cache file so something like that stores all schematic symbols and similar for modules? For that project whale the libraries are also in the lib folder local to kicad?
Would the export button do more than zip it?

Sounds like you have not told kicad about your own libs and mods.
Libs are for circuit symbols and mods are the physical component.
They should be in your own library directories.

then select your own circuit libs.
in PCBnew do the same for your footprint modules
A cache of your libs and mods will automatically be created in your
project directory.
Do have a good read of the lib and module management sections of the
eeschema help file, and the pcbnew help file.
