save metadata as json creates badly formatted json

[toloudis]

Select multiple rows in Variance dataset, for example.
Right click --> Save Metadata As --> JSON
"Select All" to get all metadata columns.

When you examine the json file, you will see that the individual rows are just dumped one by one with newlines, which is not actually valid JSON.

They really should be wrapped with [] and comma separated to be a proper json list, or wrapped in a json object somehow.

Hmm strange the underlying csv library we use handles this so I'd assumed it was just working with JSON. I'll take a look, is this relevant for the Vol-E features?

I was looking into it for experimenting with VolE integration stuff, yes.
