Save a table as sql

Me again.

Am I dumb or does saving a table as sql in HeidiSql seem unnecessarily complicated?

Why not just a "Save Table" button?

Thanks

Tables are stored and managed on a server in most cases. So if you want to save it to your local system, you need to use the SQL export. Very normal I think. Please compare with other clients before complaing about complexity.

Sorry if I sounded like I was complaining. Didn't want that.

Maybe a default "Save Table To Desktop" button with typical settings. Couldn't hurt.

Not everybody is super smart and understands all the settings.

The crux with such a button would be it is too easy to use, and it would hide really important things the user should be aware of. Please just use the export dialog, and tell it to save the structure and/or the data of your table.
