Why the plugin doesn't use queues for exports?

Question

I see that imports makes use of the queue, and I was wondering if there is some kind of limitation or problems doing the same on exports. I have a pretty big set of elements to export, and while I can cut it down by multiple date ranges, I was wondering if there is an actual issue

Additional context

We don't use it for exports, because we'd need a way to monitor the queue job and alert you when it's done, for you to then download. We can't have it automatically download the export as it does now.

It can be done (like we do with polling for the import), but we went with simplicity for the moment. Like you say, it's probably something we'll have to address in the future.

Thanks for the prompt reply!

Just an idea: you could add an console command for the export 😉.
