Improving export data dialogue #300

When exporting time-series data via the export dialogue, the user has two options, either export as a txt file or a geojson.

i) the dialogue box is not intuitive. There are several switches, some of them mutually exclusive, but the user has to find out by trial-and-error.

ii) Time-series data can only be exported into a txt file but then the spatial coordinates, e.g., latitude and longitude, are missing. Instead a cryptic name is provided in the paceID column.

iii) If geojson is selected as the export format, the spatial coordinates are given but no data values.

Ideally, the dialoge box would be less confusing and allow the user to include placeID, spatial coordinates or geometry, and data values in one file.

Each time we talk with users that have used the export function for time series, they ask us if we could improve it. Especially that the export file includes the placeID. Thus, I would support if this issue would get a higher priority.

Could you please elaborate on how they wish to improve it, how that differs from what @gunbra32 wrote.

Especially that the export file includes the placeID.

I fully agree.

the points mentioned by Gunnar are good, adding the placeID would be most important. A second wish was to export only the timer period that is displayed in the time series plot (if it has been zoomed to a certain time period). Though if this is possible, there should be an option for users to select: export full time series or export displayed time series.

We have an unspecific comment from a user: I cannot work with the export as it is now. So this does not help us at all. I could go back to the user and ask what he meant in detail.
