you added "only" to the string. I actually find that negative thinking,
like we are sorry we are only able to do that for our users.

This is a point that Martin and I discussed on irc.
Here is the main point that the changes are clarifying is:
a file is only safe when it is Saved (in xcf)
this means that export is never the solution to unsaved changes and
"Export" and "Export to foo.png" cannot be there in the dialog as
ways to resolve the situation.

true, you have found a bug. like you say, the "you can use this
dialog..."
message should appear straight away.

that looks like another bug to me. it is still useful to see all images
(to steal there filenames) in the dialog.
