Export doesn't contain updated database content

Hi,

This is a really minor thing now that I've figured it out, but it was causing me headaches for a while!

I'm collaborating with a friend on a Wordpress site. Whenever my friend has made an update to the database, he'll send me a database export via the repo. I'll then drop all of the existing tables (wiping the database clean) and import his new SQL statement in its place. No problems so far.

However, when I attempt an export myself later the same day (right click on table name -> Export database as SQL), it considers the database empty and will not run an export. I have now found out that this is because I have not yet refreshed the tree view - refreshing the tree view resolves this problem and allows me to make the export. If I don't refresh then it thinks that the database is still empty from when I cleared it earlier.

It's not a big deal for me now because I know I need to do this, but it's a little bit annoying and also took me a while to figure this out in the first place! It might be useful to automatically refresh the tree view before opening the export dialog (or maybe there is a better solution...)

Anyway, just thought I'd point this out. I really love this software by the way!

Thanks
