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."
I agree that these need to be done. But I think it makes sense to have a "normal" export also. So things like the Povray plugin aren't in the save dialog, which really doesn't make that much sense.
Well, it wasn't really obvious to me that Export to bitmap is designed as a palette, really :) Now I understand why there is no "Close" button (other dialogs don't have it as well, actually) :))
But then Inkscape is going to have a menu item to call a palette from "File" menu -- a very intriguing feature. What do you think about keeping menu items for palettes in one special menu like "Settings"?
