Why table exporting only export the current page?

The export from the table works like this way only the current view so if a lot data is found in the database to prevent crash thats how the datatables export work.

You will need to export by page.
There is a tricky for this if you want to export change the Tables pagination limit in settings ex. to 1000 Settings->General -> Tables Pagination Limit and you will be able to export the data.

When list any table you can see how much records is in there ex. Showing 1 to 50 of 800 invoices set the settings field to 800 and in this case you will be able to export all the data.

UPDATE:

From version 1.0.9 you can select total rows from the table on the top left dropdown. This will solve the export problem. You just need to switch to All and wait to load all the data from database. After that try to export.
