As far as an end user is concerned , the export option has nothing to do with print.
So , it is wrongly placed in the "Print..." dialogue , and , less chances of discovering this option.
Ideally , These options should not be hidden away inside "Print..." menu item.
The best solution is to move all the Export options available via the Print dialogue , to Export's own dialogue window.
So we'd end up with:
----
Export as...
Print Setup...
Print Preview
Print...
----
The "Export as..." should lead to a dialogue window which has options to choose the format of the export and the location [options available at present when user selects Print to file]
Can this split be done in gtk print/CUPS? or which ever package controls the print dialogue... That would fix this in most of the Apps , rather than patching apps individually.
But,there are certain apps which already have the "Export as..." option [OOo.org], so for these apps the above option should not be displayed , and rather let the app display its own
