Ok. I'll simplify the patch. Should I change the action's names to follow their label? In particular "Export" would correspond to "file-export" and "Export As..." corresponds to "file-export-as" (otherwise we would end up in the strange situation where "Export" <=> "file-export-to" and "Export As..." <=> "file-export"). Or you care only about UI, not action names, and I should ask Mitch for this? Thanks.
