Feature request: Export options

Just a small one but would it be possible to allow exporting of multiple file types at once?

I often need the csv, dxf, kml and shapefile and have to go through the export process 4 times. It’d be easier if I could just select each type that I want and press export.

Hi Andy!

Thank you for your request! I’ve noted it and passed it on to our development team. If I have any updates, I’ll let you know.

Good suggestion!

I’d also like to request that the shp export zip and component files inherit the name of the Flow project or accept user input rather than automatically and unchangeably forcing the generic, non-unique name “points” every time. This has been an issue since the ReachView days, and reflects a disconnect between devs who write the software and folks that actually use it to do real work.

Sure, we can (and do) rename the files ourselves, but we shouldn’t have to. For large projects with multiple collects, doing so can be a significant efficiency hit and potential for data loss due to inadvertent overwrites.

If I should start a separate thread for this request, please let me know.

+1 for each of the two great suggestions above.
Timely next steps on the maturity evolution.

Hi everyone,

Thanks a lot for your +1s and all the other suggestions! Everything’s noted, and I’ll keep you in the loop in case there is any progress.

It would also be great if you could export several projects at a time with project information. That way you could get an overview of all projects in another application. Ideally i would like to automate the export, so i don’t have to manually export each project.

Hi @Anders_Nielsen,

Welcome to the Community Forum!

I agree that the option to export multiple projects at once would make things easier. Currently, there’s no such option, but I have passed the idea on to our team as a feature request. There’s no ETAs I can share at the moment but I’ll keep you posted on any changed.
