Are you in any way against GIMP's new behavior for 2.7/8?
Basically,
Save/Save As would only offer SVG options (probably only Inkscape SVG
variants) and everything else must be performed via an Export operation
since there is editing data losss (not like our current one, but
basically a different type of "Save As" dialog which would then chain
into the png, pdf, eps, jpg, tif, etc special dialogs when those exist).
For those who are interested, the GIMP folks have a full specification
for their new file-handling behavior:
http://gui.gimp.org/index.php/Save_%2B_export_specification
As I understand it, a professional user interface designer wrote the
specification at the request of the GIMP developers. The specification
could apply to Inkscape just as easily, since the two programs have
similar uses and target audiences.
