Under Execute SQL there is a button that let's you export the table after running a SQL query (circled in red below)

It would be nice to have the same button under the Browse Data tab that would allow the user to export after filtering.

Good idea, @ch728. If you try our nightly build, you will find a new button in the Browse Data for saving the current filtering as a new SQL view. That is only a step away from a CSV export.

But this new feature makes a lot of sense and it is feasible.

@ch728, the feature is now implemented. If you install a nightly build or compile yourself from the repository, you will find a similar popup menu in the 'Browse Data' tab as in the 'Execute SQL' tab.

I copy here the What's This info for the button:

This popup menu provides the following options applying to the currently browsed and filtered table:

• Export to CSV: this option exports the data of the browsed table as currently displayed (after filters, display formats and order column) to a CSV file.
• Save as view: this option saves the current setting of the browsed table (filters, display formats and order column) as an SQL view that you can later browse or use in SQL statements.

If it works for you, please close this issue.

I downloaded the new build, and I am now able to export after filtering. Thank you!

Well done @mgrojo. 😄
