Hi,

I "export to a spreadsheet" feature of XMod 5 is very handy.

However, a significant drawback is found in the fact that when you finish an export, no indication is given to the user where to go to find the file. You just have to know that it got saved to the portal root.

So, it's non-intuitive (you don't know where the file went), it's inconvenient to have to navigate to the file manager and try to find the file, and in some cases it doesn't fit with the security permissions you have in place. We might give a clerical user the ability to work with XMod modules, but not want them to have access to the file manager itself.

So, could we get this changed? :-D I can't see any reason why it would be be *better* to have the current behavior than to have it simply send the file directly to the client.
