This is a tangent related to the matter that the first time you do an export
command from a GIMP session there is no practical difference between Ctrl+E
(Export) and Shift+Ctrl+E (Export To). Now, of course, the first time you do a
Save command there is no difference between Ctrl+S (Save) and Shift+Ctrl+S
(Save As) but this is not what makes the export shortcut an issue.
The saved filename is effectively kept between GIMP sessions.
The last-exported filename is not.
If you only ever do one export per GIMP session, you will never see any
difference between Ctrl+E and Shift+Ctrl+E. (Likewise, in an import/overwrite
based workflow there is no difference between Ctrl+E and Shift+Ctrl+E either,
because Overwrite is not the same command or shortcut as Export.)
So the suggestion here is that when you save your XCF file, the file should
record a block of data for the last used export filename and its associated
options. If you have a workflow where you regularly export to the same target
filename (but generally only once per GIMP session) this would be an
improvement over the current behavior because GIMP then does not have to keep
confirming that you're overwriting a file that exists or keep prompting you for
export options.
