I suppose it does if the buttons here seem too long too. 

Let me describe the issue here though:
1 - Staff member without access to system preferences uses a report to get some
data to load back into koha (or another system)
2 - The click 'Download as CSV' and get a *.csv file
3 - They assume the file is actually comma separated
4 - They try to load the file into Koha (or another system) which wants actual
commas in a csv
5 - Things don't work
6 - They don't know why
7 - :-(

Now, if you open the file in libreoffice/excel/etc. you can fix the delimiters,
but sometimes you lose leading zeros etc. And it is an extra step. I just want
to make sure someone who can't see the pref understands what they are getting.

It could be a tooltip and not on the button
It could be a note under the button
We could provide selection of delimiter at export and use the pref only to
determine default.

What would folks prefer?
