Fixed size Export Bitmap dialog
Hi,
I just noticed that the Export dialog is now fixed in width. This, in my opinion, is a not a good change as one cannot now expand the dialog to show the entire file name path. This means having to click on the file name and use the arrow keys to get to then end to customize the file name, a real pain if doing lots of exporting from one file.

Yes I changed that for a couple of cosmetic reasons. First, because the dialog can be sized vertically which looks really ugly. Second, because in windows, a resizable dialog comes with a maximize button, which is a really odd thing for a dialog box to have.
If people decide this was a bad move, there's no problem reverting the change.
Maybe it would be worth laying out the dialog afresh at some stage. IMHO, allowing the user to resize the window isn't really much of a "feature" - it should have been the right size in the first place!

This is not meant to be a permanent solution, but you could just use the "end" key to hike right to your file name. I always find this easier than resizing, anyways...unless you really need to see the whole path all at once.
