Hi Dan,
If you look back at some of the discussion we've had here, we talked about the fact that if you do an "export" from chirp itself, it
suggests
a .chirp file. If you change that to .csv when you give it a
filename,
it will do a CSV export instead. The wiki could definitely use a note
about this.
I've added a bit more to the wiki FAQ about this. Previously it simply said that CHIRP could read / write both chirp and csv files, but not how to export them as csv.
If it is not too much work, it would probably be less confusing to new users if the "Save as type" drop down list, when exporting, could be populated with .chirp (as default) and .csv as an option. Additionally, if any other file formats are used in the future then they could simply be added to the list.
Cheers,
Davidt, VK3UR

Thanks!

Yeah, that's harder than it sounds, actually, because the python win32 interface isn't really documented, but I can see if I can figure out how to do it.
I am with Dave on that one. I realize it is probably more work but it makes the process more idiot proof! Also it may still be helpful to be able to maneuver channel data in CSV format in order to resequence channel data either by frequency or alphabetically.

Well, I just figured it out, so it'll be in the next beta :)

Yep, I have no intention of forcing people to use the chirp format or dropping the CSV option.
