We have "Export as..." at the top of the menu and "More options..." at the bottom, could they be moved together?

I struggle at getting the rationale behind the "More Options..." entry. You are supposed to enter a custom command that performs the actual export ? Isn't this somewhat overlapping with the converters configuration in the preferences ? I mean, you can define your own format (there's also the preferences GUI for that) along with a converter from ps or from pdf to that, and later say you want to export to that custom format, can't you ?

In the save dialog, how am I to figure which of the pdf pdf2 pdf3 pdf4 format do I want?

The formats are listed in the filter selection with their name, for example:

Any supported format (*.*)
They are ps (*.ps)
pdf (*.pdf)
pdf2 (*.pdf)
pdf3 (*.pdf)
...

Now, if you leave the selection to the default entry (first line, i.e., *.*), then the format is inferred as formats.getFormatFromExtension(). Therefore, for .pdf, I don't know what comes out, probably it is the first match. However, if you select either pdf2 or pdf3 etc..., then you may get exactly the export format you want (assuming the user understands these pdf2, pdf3, etc.. and is capable of discriminating among them and picking the right one he/she needs -- guess/hope we have something in the manual).
