eSearch - Export to CSV

[MikeKellison]

Robert,
When I choose to export selected features to CSV, the file type .csv is not specified and it defaults to Save as type: All Files (*.*).  I am using your latest release, version 2.3.2.

Mike,

   Event though it does not list .csv as a file type you will notice that the file name has Selected Records.csv as the file name so it is fine just the way it is.

[MikeKellison]

I have tested this, and my system does not add .csv to the file name.  I have to do it manually, otherwise it saves as a generic file type.

Mike,

   So when the save dialog comes up it does not have "Selected Records.csv" as the file name to save, or "something.csv"?

[MikeKellison]

No.  It has Selected Records, but does not include .csv.

Mike,

   Do most of the file on your system not show a file extension when you look in windows explorer? The problem is that Flash player does not give much control over the file save dialog (security reasons).

[MikeKellison]

You sent me down the right path.  I had file extensions hidden in all my folders.  I changed the setting so I would see file extensions in all folders, and the export function now includes the .csv.  Thanks for your help.

I discovered this same problem just yesterday when one of my users had trouble saving the .txt file from the eDraw export.

Robert,

Which componet/line of code of the eSeach Widget would I change in order to have the widget export the .csv/.txt file to a default location (i.e. C:\Query Exports\....), without prompting the user to specify a location?

Thank you for all your help.

Dale,

   That is not possible... There are security constraints imposed by Flash Player that prevent this.
