Description

Steps to reproduce

  1. Choose 'Export Chat' in room menu
  2. Select any options and press 'Export'

(By the way, thank you so much for making Matrix and Element awesome!)

Outcome

What did you expect?

An export with a filename containing an ISO 8601/RFC 3339 date, and maybe the room name in it. E.g. agora-discuss-2022-04-15.txt or agora-discuss-2022-04-15T17:04:16+02:00.txt (which contains a time with timezone).

An export with the same standard format for times/dates used within.

What happened instead?

An export named 'matrix-export-4-15-2022 at 4-48-51 PM.txt', whose date makes sense as a format only within the US -- and includes relatively useless time information (missing the timezone).
An export with the same awkward format for times/dates used within.
