Whereas the modules for batch processing and import are available for the toolbar and also are shown in the rightclick context menu for a picture the *export* isn't available in any of those two places, only via the menu bar. Sending a picture per EMail, which is in the export module, is one of the most common tasks so it should also be available for the toolbar (as export dropdown menu as it is with import) and it also should be reachable via context menu of a picture. When the menu bar is hidden to save space there is no way to access the export modules. Reproducible: Always
