So, in summary, I think that there needs to be two things here, the export to bitmap feature as it currently is provides a dialog for designers who are constantly using this feature. Also, there needs to be an export function that is a little more generic and can be used for many other formats.
Well, it's more or less what I wrote about :)
Personally I don't like the idea of duplicating the current export bitmap dialog as something else "simplified". It's very simple already. What you describe (export page if nothing selected otherwise the selection, at the default resolution with default filename) is as simple as Ctrl+Shift+E, click Export, done. What can be simpler?
Instead, here are some things that should be done:
- add more bitmap formats, not only PNG
- rename it to "export bitmap"
- make "browse" open a new file dialog, not the old one
- to Save/Save as, add a tip for newbies: "To save your drawing in a bitmap, use the Export Bitmap command."
