Option: hidden columns shouldn't export

Along with the great new feature to allow users to hide selected columns comes a related issue: my users are surprised when their Excel exports include hidden columns. I think they're right -- it seems counter-intuitive. I would expect that when they export, whatever view they are looking at should export. I'd like to see this become an option on the export screen.

I just noticed in an example that there is a way for users to select which fields to include in an export, but it wasn't showing up for me. So I poked around and found a checkbox in the Export page settings to allow the user to select the list of fields. I guess that solves this issue. So... never mind. <img src='https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=reply&id=83386&image=1&table=forumreplies' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />
