"Export configuration file" only exports DB properties without any indication

Under Miscellaneous->Configuration, the option under Config actions to "Export configuration file" is really only exporting properties that are defined in the database. There is no indication that is what it is doing. It isn't intuitive, since it's not exporting what the user sees on the screen, which is the overlay of the entire hierarchy. It's also not acting on any Source type filter (e.g. non-base) or string filter, and it isn't intuitive that they will be ignored.
