I note that in addition to the generally counterintuitive location of the 
export function (under data rather than file, where this option is almost 
universally found), if a user opens a tab delimited or comma separated file, 
and attempts to save it, it will default to saving in a spreadsheet format, but 
will retain the .txt extension, which clearly implies that the format remains 
unchanged. 
Considering the large number of users working in these formats, it seems the 
obvious answer is to permit saving in multiple formats from the save-as dialog, 
as expected by the majority of users, but a notice indicating how this can be 
accomplished should absolutely be included.
