You might consider a freely editable operations chain for each file to be exported. The exports then
can be considered twigs of the GEGL tree*).
When different exports of the same composition are supported, the dialog could look like in the
following example:

*) This concept can be taken quite far beyond GEGL operations:

Further elaboration of what one can do when exporting was part of the
motivation of doing initial clean-up work on the architecture level
with separating saving from exporting.Another thing that is useful in
a few scenarios is exporting named sub rectangles of the image (for
creating raster graphics based assets for web/gui themes for
instance.)
A sketch with some UI ideas around that is here:
http://pippin.gimp.org/tmp/export.png
To summarize suggestions so far, an enhanced file export dialog might
allow the user to:
* Choose the export precision as part of the export dialog.
* Save default settings for things like whether to embed a thumbnail,
exif data, comments, and etc.
* Have the option to scale the image as part of the file export dialog,
leaving the GIMP XCF file at the original size.
* Have the option to convert to another ICC profile color space and also
to assign another ICC profile to the image-to-be-exported.
* Have the option to export designated subframes from within the image,
rather than having to make a new image and crop to each designated subframe.
Does anyone have any suggested modifications/additions to the
above-proposed file export dialog "enhancement request/bug report"?
Moving past the narrow topic of file export dialogs, other useability
enhancements were brought up:
* Have a way to specify entire chains of operations (that might or might
not be related to exporting a file) that could be activated by a single
click.
* Have a way to permanently dismiss various unwanted dialogs and warning
notices, such as the dither dialog and the "do you really want to erase
the history" warning.
* A warning or a check box (a check box would be less intrusive than a
pop-up warning) on the resize dialog might keep one from inadvertently
saving a reduced size file over the top of the original larger size file.
The topic of a "fully geglified GIMP" was brought up. What does a fully
geglified GIMP have to do with an enhanced file export dialog?
