When using function 'Export Database Contents' I am currently not given the option to name the file myself, but instead forced to use file name 'DatabankContents.***'. This is very restrictive. Please can you amend SQX to allow user to define name of 'Export Database Contents' file, during file generation.
Further, format of CSV file output is all messed-up, not the same as easy and ready to use format generated by SQ3.8.2. See attached example. Please can you revert back to same CSV format as per SQ3.8.2.
Thanks

Subject changed from SQX 113 - Export Database Contents & CSV File Format to SQX 116 - Export Database Contents & CSV File Format
Just chasing up response/action on this Bug Task Item 'sq4_3275', that I first raised on 30 Oct 2018 for SQX 113.
Please can you modify Export Databank Contents function as follows:
1. Allow user to specify name of exported databank file, rather than force user to use default file name: DatabankContents.***
2. Please do not truncate data values to only 2x decimal points. Please include 6 to 8 decimal points, same as SQ3.8.2. This will greatly improve sort order accuracy, as many parameters (i.e.: Fitness; Profit Factor; etc.) will result in the same value for differing strategies, if only 2x decimal points are given. Or, even better, allow user to set decimal points to be displayed, within SQX Results: Manage Views selection window.
The existing 'Export Databank Contents' setup is not flexible.
Thanks

Status changed from New to Fixed
2. The values are not truncated. Decimal points depend on snippets settings. Most of the snippets use 2 decimal places format - we would have to change its precision or add new snippets with more precision
Also, with both XLSX and CSV format files, please do not truncate data values to only 2x decimal points. Please include 6 to 8 decimal points, same as SQ3.8.2.
Thanks
