I almost always want to save each document twice: once as SVG for future editing, once as PDF to export or share with others. Every time. Save both ways.

In my typical usage, which I don't imagine is unusual, all formats other than SVG would be better considered as "Exports". If I want to make a PDF file I currently have to "save as" PDF and then remember to "save as" the original SVG file again so that subsequent saves go to the right place. I think it would improve useability to include bitmap and vector formats such as PDF in the "Export" dialog. Alternatively, an additional menu entry "Export vector..." could be included next to "Export bitmap...". Another approach is to have a "save a copy" dialog where a different file type can be chosen without affecting the filename and format that will be used for subsequent normal saves. --Phil.
