I have a view of commerce orders where the admin can limit by min and max dates. That view is using the export as csv display and I'm getting the following error during export.

Notice: Array to string conversion in views_data_export_plugin_style_export->generate_filename() (line 348 of /Users/jonathanhenson/Sites/NO1 Sites/NO1003 - Meadow Creature/sites/sites/all/modules/views_data_export/plugins/views_data_export_plugin_style_export.inc). Backtrace:
implode('--', Array) views_data_export_plugin_style_export.inc:348

I did a little digging and it looks like its due to the fact that the date range exposed filter is an array of arrays not strings. So I added a loop that flattens those first, then passes them along to get flattened again.

patch works for me too.
the end result of '%exposed' token value is some thing like 'date_filter_09/01/2014--09/11/2014' which I think is what we expect.
tnx
