   DefaultExportType: The Batch Export save dialog can save a batch file in two formats: CSV or Tab-delimited. While you can save a particular file in either format, this attribute determines which format is selected by default. A value of CSV sets the default to the comma separated value (CSV) type. A value of TXT sets the default to the tab-delimited type.
