 * It would be nice to have a configuration option for the filename of the CSV export
   file, which is now `participants-database-<date>.csv` by default.

 * The way this works, it will remember the last name you used (minus the datestamp)
   so any subsequent exports will use your preferred filename and add the datestamp
   to that.
 * So all you have to do is change the name of the file when you export, and the
   next time you export, it will remember what you used.

 * Unfortunately, this does not work. When I change the name in the web GUI, it 
   will use this name when I download a CSV file, but the next time I open the plugin,
   the name is reverted to the original.

 * This depends on a cookie, so this can happen if cookies are cleared, or if you
   are using a different browser, or if a long time has passed since using the feature.
