"Ignore" skips the export step. So the image will end up in the plug-in without being altered in any way. This is sometimes useful, for example if you want to save a particular layer, and not the whole image. But it requires that you know what you are doing. And no, I don't claim that this is a good user interface. It just happens to be like that and no one has started an overhaul yet, even though that is long overdue.
