Improve Exported file names #7308

Thanks for suggestion @RogerTheShrubber maybe we could automatically include the report name in the filename eg. and even maybe add the website ID or name |
That would be good by default, but I still think it would be better to set your own name somehow. At work we're creating multiple reports with several custom variables. We won't be exporting all custom variables in one report, but rather different groups of custom variables in different reports. If we were to export all of them, we couldn't tell the difference between each report by the name. |
My biggest issue in the filenames is the date formatting. The reports are currently named with the Perhaps there could be an option "local date formatting or ISO8601 formatting"? |

Currently, when you export custom variables in CSV or TSV, you get a file name like:
"Piwik Exporter _ _ [start date] - [end date] .csv"
It would be a nice feature to have an extra GET variable to name the file. Example: "downloadName=mySpecialReport" would give: "Piwik Exporter _ mySpecialReport _ [start date] - [end date] .csv"
