Improve CSV export notification UX

[grantfitzsimmons]

I think this thread is a good place to mention that the behavior at present is confusing, even to users familiar with biodiversity databases. It would probably be prudent to have the exact notification/download behavior configurable in a future release.

I would say “how do I download data, nothing happens when I click the “export” button” is in the top five list of complaints/questions I’ve had since making our database public. A banner notification or direct download dialog would be preferable.

I think he makes an excellent point here, and it has been a major UX hinderance for new users. Potentially we could improve this by using the toast system or another notification mechanism? Perhaps a pop-up as soon as that notification arrives?
