Suggestions: 1. In the export dialogue, select display "All supported formats" by default instead of "Krita document". We have Save/Save as for .kra already. We use Export for the sorts like .PNG and .JPG. Showing all formats also allow user to self-learn how to change file extension by just clicking on the existing names. Because of the lack of information in the dialogue, many users misunderstood that by changing the filter they change the file-format-to-save. Showing all formats by default sends out a message that the option is not about choosing how-to-save but actually what-to-show, in order to train them. Suggestions:files 1.

Showing all formats also allow user to self-learn how to change file extension by just clicking on the existing names. Many users thought by changing the filter they change the file-format-to-save, because of the lack of information of the dialogue. Showing all formats by default sends out a strong hint that the option is not about choosing how-to-save but actually what-to-show, which will train them. 2. Remember the display filter state for the current opened document. In this way when saving multiple versions (different crop/resize/ or other post effects), user can always see all related files, which helps to keep the location and filename in correct order. 2. Remember the display filter state for each of the current opened document. In this way when saving multiple versions (different crop/resize/ or other post effects), user can always see all related files, which helps to keep the location and filename in correct order. I think these 2 suggestions will increase the usability of the export dialogue. Reproducible: Always

Hm... That depends on the file dialog. With the KDE file dialog, All Supported Formats is the default for export.
The first suggestion is a duplicate of bug 346013, which I just submitted a fix for. :) I'm leaving this one open since the second suggestion is still worth implementing.
