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.
