Elaborating Export functionality

This is such a common task, there may be cause to have a Resize option bundled with the Export command. Having to always perform them as two separate steps is an annoyance, but the possibility of accidentally saving the wrong resolution back to the XCF file is a danger.

A question that asked late last year as I had a need to resize and keep working on original. That's when I found the save for web had been reinstated as 2.6.

Part of the motivation for the save/export distinction in the first place is later being able to introduce such improvements to export workflows (as well as other neat things; like being able to choose between export presets, multiple named regions - and more). Without a clear conceptual internal seperation - such future improvements will be much harder.

I've been wanting a "scaled export" function myself … In the meanwhile, http://shallowsky.com/blog/gimp/gimp-export-scaled.html works well.

It doesn't remember the last scale you used second time around, but it does remember the format so you don't have to change xcf→jpg each time.
