I think that the idea of another button was rejected early on.

However, hopefully some devs are still reading: What if the file dialog was
modified into a tabbed interface instead, so that it hitting <Ctrl>+S
brought up:

+=========================---------------------+
||  Save XCF Project ... ||    Export to ...   |
||                       ||____________________+
||- - - - - - - - - - - - -====================|
||                                             |

And hitting <Ctrl>+E brought up:

+-------------------------=====================+
|   Save XCF Project ... ||    Export to ...  ||
|________________________||                   ||
|========================--- - - - - - - - - -||
|                                             ||


One big downside of the current implementation is that if I choose the
wrong "save" option I usually don't realize it until I've already navigated
away and hitting <Cancel> forces me to navigate again. Aside from that
issue, the current philosophy is better and I think this might help solve
both complaints.

There may be other ways to combine the two functions into a single dialog
while still making it abundantly clear that there is a distinction; this is
just one idea.
