    Default Suggestion about exporting

    When exporting Xara document with "Export...", "Export JPG..." or "Export PNG..." it would be nice a Xara document name to be placed in "File name:" dialog box together with the appropriate extension, instead of empty box.
    BTW, why there are "Export JPG..." and "Export PNG..." when you can find them, together with many other options, in "Export..."?
    It is the same with "File > Page Options..." and "Utility > Options...".

    +1 on this.

    As for specific Export buttons, I suspect they were requested a long time ago, because those are probably the most used export options, and it cuts down on workflow to simply click on Export PNG (especially if you're doing it on a repetitive basis), rather than go through the regular dialog box. It may only save someone a second or two, but that time can add up.

    Sometimes I do a SaveAs, swipe the name and cancel, then do an Export and paste the name.

    If this request is implemented, please, please, please make it an option.

    I can't remember the last time my exported file had the same name as the source xar file. In fact, I often have xar files that are the source for multiple exported files with different names. That's especially true when I'm doing art for PowerPoints or animated demos.

    I agree, best to have this an option.

    I agree with Allison and John. My .xar files typically contain multiple objects exported as individual files with their own names for the objects and the .xar has a name of it's own.

    Please allow the ability to turn off automatic naming if it becomes a feature.

    I have to agree as well. There are times when it might come in handy to have auto naming but other times it could be a pain. So an option setting for this would be a good solution.
