Export makes information loss implicit anyway.
This results in a variety of possible dialogs:

And of course there are the various image mode conflicts that are
handled by offering to convert to the mode that the plug-in supports:
"Convert to RGB"
"Convert to Grayscale"
"Convert to Indexed using default settings
(Do it manually to tune the result)"
"Convert to Indexed using bitmap default settings
(Do it manually to tune the result)"
These can be combined as options if the destination format supports
several modes.
Image mode conflicts are a separate problem IMHO.
