Move Export Options

Hi - is there a way to move the export options from the bottom of the analysis to the top, similar to how we can move the paging controls?

Is it possible? Yes.

Should you do it? No. That's a total waste of time and when you start doing it like described in all the blog posts which exist about changes like this - you'll pretty much do it wrong.

Christian - thank you!  So I am intrigued by your response.  It is possible, but you recommend not to do it because it's a waste of time?  I did find information about moving the print options, but nothing about the export options, and using Java script, which I am not interested in maintaining.

Hello Prudence,

The GUI's built using loads of reference files and changing its core behaviour is always a tricky thing to do because of

- maintenance
- upgrades

Pretty much nothing you do can ever be assured at 100% to be working again in the next big release. JS is one way, the other is altering the core files which - as said - first of all will not necessarily stay the same each time.

And secondly: there are changes which never can be domne in the "custom style / skin" package, so for each and every time you upgrade the system or install a bigger bundle patch...you'll lose your chagens and will have to to them again.

This is an amazing explanation and I fully understand now why can you? yes ... should you? no!

Thank you!
