Export CSV creates a file as 'UCS-2 Little Endian' (at least according to Notepad++).

This encoding is problematic with some other text editors (such as TextPad).

Could you make sure that all export functions create files with UTF-8 encoding (or let the user chose the encoding) please.

And, of course, thank you for such a great utility.
