csv export invalid with semicolon in text

[Lindsay Lorden]

The CSV character choice in Preferences only affects importing of transactions. When exporting, it always uses a semi-colon.
Can the character chosen in Preferences be used when exporting, or optionally a second Preference (happy for current default of ; to be set) for export delimiter?
Reason being I had a semicolon in the Memo field and it threw the CSV importing out(!). I use export when in 'Transactions \ Show All' (and sometimes 'Show').

A related nice feature would be to warn user if the CSV character is included in any data field - so they can correct (= remove) it before saving the change, unless they explicitly then "OK" it anyway.

the problem is not really the delimiter, it is just that I do not use string delimiter " when the text as the separator into it, for example, if you import this, it will work

date;paymode;info;payee;memo;amount;category;tags
05/18/2022;0;;;"memo with ;";0,00;;"tag;"

but anyway, choosing the export separator by default and at export time is a plus

Will you include the string delimiter " with this update?

yes it is committed into 5.6
maybe I will include also into 5.5.6
