Export Categories Tree

[mc12345678]

Referring to providing a similar export "field" as when exporting the full product information and having the category relationship shown to get to that category? Ie. Tires^Trucks^Manufacturer^Etc?

I could see that being added, though at this time would still consider it as information only and not to directly have an effect during import on category organization. Concern is the confusion caused by also possibly containing conflicting information and expectation that modifying the contents of the field will have an effect on the database or if it does support modification the number of conflicts that would/could be caused by that information being different than the existing "primary key".

Yes, I forgot to mention that. This is useful for export just to create those data validation lists. I can't remember any other functionality to this bit. And creating another file layout just for this it's a waste.
So on import, it would be ignored. Basically it's just another small tool to have around.
With this "categories tree" one can make those data validation lists on calc or excel, that can save a lot of time checking the categories names, etc... ( well, at least for me)

Fyi, this (or similar) was already in the to be released version of EP4 as tracked at https://github.com/mc12345678/Easypopulate-4.0.

In that version the result is to show the category's name as built from the root of the store for both the category and category meta exports. The representation is the same as seen in a full product export.
