optional name for export csv files #490

Open ssbarsky opened 1 year ago

ssbarsky commented 1 year ago

the default name for exporting from members database is 'reg-members.csv' but if I don't rename the file immediately, I get (xx) appended to the file name. e.g. reg-members(29).csv. It would be useful to have parameter to optionally name the file when exporting.

The usual answer for that is to configure your browser to ask where/how to save the downloaded file.

I'm OK with where the file gets downloaded, I just want to save the step of remembering to rename the file after the download. The browser automagically adds the (x) the the file name if it finds that the name already exists. If there's a way to reconfigure that part of the process, I'm not sure how to do that.

In Firefox, I believe it's Settings/General/Downloads/Always ask you where to save files.

Checking that causes it to open a standard file-save dialog box, where you can pick a different name or directory... or just hit SAVE to accept the default.

I'll try that, but not sure I want the extra step for all my other downloads...
