IIRC, someone proposed the inclusion in the palette of a preview of the exported bitmap. how about a mocup containing such a widget?
I can add it as hideable part of the palette (like in GIMP's open/save dialogs), if it's really needed.
it may be useful to change the units from the export palette: the entire page is using one units type but when exporting a specific detail you may need other units, one case can be if the entire document is intended for one type of usage (print) and the detail for another (web)
I do not have such an experience :) But I will keep in mind your vote.
i think the usefulness of displaying the file size is increasing when the settings for save can be adjusted (for example export as JPEG and change compression) but AFAIK for now Inkscape can export only as PNG.
Well, no problems with temporary removing it :)
i won't claim knowledge of HIG (because i don't have) but my first impression of this mockup is that it can use more spacing, it looks too dense and busy
Actually I tried to make this palette as small as possible. The reason is simple: I hate large dialogs/palettes and I'm not the only one. One of most widespread complains about opensource software written in Gtk/Qt is that everything is huge and takes too much place on screen. E.g. look at "Resize image..." dialog in the GIMP. GIMP has gone through HIGification cycle, but still this dialog as larger than it could be.
