Hi there,  
(Kibana version 7.4)  
When exporting data from a table visualization (Raw or Formatted), the exported file is by default a .CSV file.  
However, when exporting data (from any visualization) via 'Inspect' -\> 'Download CSV' -\> 'Formatted CSV' (or 'Raw CSV') the file is a .txt file

How can I make sure the .txt file is also by default a .CSV file?

Thanks  
Fadi

There is no way to change that for now, but feel free to open an enhancement request here: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/)
