In the old Export utility, the txt and csv functions are messed up. No matter what is visible or selected in the Main Grid, the whole DB is exported, even if I choose "selected". Also, the delimiters seem to be messed up.
There is a problem with control codes being embeded in the exported csv or txt files. They cause the imported data into excell to not format correctly. Mainly the problem appears in the movie description... I don't export the details page fields except for TagLine so I do not know about the other fields.
I would recommend running a filter when exporting to remove the control characters. I would recommend substituting html code, at export, such as <br>, <p>, etc. for the none-printable control codes that are in the text now. These can be imported into excel and they can be easily replaced by the user after importing into excel.
New bug in Export
