Save export settings as a 'template'

When choosing to export a timeline to CSV/TSV, I was wondering if we could provide more options such as:

  • Which columns to include
  • Filter rows through conditions

In my case I added a new field for events called Fortune, which I can add values from 10 to -10 (excluding 0).

I only want to export events, and the columns: Title, Start Date and Fortune* (my custom column).
In addition to that, I would like to filter the rows. For example, only those wih a start date, or perhaps only those which are green and orange. I could we could select the option to export only those selected, but this has to do with the next bit, which is…

…it would be great if we could save these settings so when doing an export, we could select from a drop-down some settings we often use.


* In case you’re wondering, I’m using Excel to draw a Kurt Vonnegut chart. Yeah it would be great if Aeon timeline had some sort of built-in feature for this, but I get that one might feel this is a bit too niche.

Seconded.

Too much I never use gets exported, and it makes it difficult to parse.
