Suggestion: Export completion

[JBroomeRSG]

I end up performing a lot of execute/export repetitions and love the output capabilities here, except that when I finish exporting, I have to manually find the file just created to attach to an email/etc.

Would be better if the export system prompted when completed, to open the folder or file it just finished with.
Even just appending an [INFO] line in the Output window with the completion timestamp, # of rows output and folder, file paths would be enough.

Thanks

yeah I actually thought this would be easy initially.. but it's not.

The export actually happens in a webview (VSCode term for a normal web page).. and part of that security is there is no way to get the path that you selected for the export..

I can do it if the download happens in the extension side of VSCode, but that means pushing the data back from the webview to the extension host, which leads to all sorts of performance issues with any sort of larger file… so I want to avoid that..

Still thinking about it, but for now I don't have a solution to this problem!

As part of #559 I added exporting to the explorer.. the good news is this is now on the VSCode side, so I can now prompt for opening folder/file at the completion of the export.

So if you right click on a table you can now see an option to export, and you can also export filters you may have created on the table.
