 * If you have looked at my new plugin the first thing that stands out is multiple
   views. Most export tools are very basic but I like to explore ideas that might
   make people realize – they have always needed more.
 * With this plugin I’m practicing the idea that some users/business may need the
   ability to export their WordPress data to multiple different .csv files. They
   may need to do this on a regular basis. Existing tools may require them to use
   one form for each file and each time they need to perform the export.
    I honestly
   have no idea if anyone out there is going that – but it doesn’t matter. Sometimes
   no-one asks for something they need because they don’t realize how bad they need
   it.
    - Each view offers quick download of specific data.
    - This approach allows users to use multiple views/profiles without having to
      re-configure the same form.
    - My approach of creating profiles and leaving them as they are will increase
      accuracy of each .csv file. Important if the exported data is being used by
      other software.
    - Custom profiles can be created by developers, you can hire WebTechGlobal if
      you are not a developer.
    - The ability to configure your own export profile is being planned. A little
      show of support from the community for this plugin will encourage such updates
      to come quicker.
    - Custom profiles will be done using a form that allows any number of database
      tables and even specific columns from each. Proper MySQL JOIN queries etc.
    - Do you need an .XML exporter with the same approach? Just let me know.
