Even if want to annoy users with a pop-up each and every time the save you
probably want to set the defaults for the exporter in preferences.
(Nobody wants to change the settings absolutely every time, so it
doesn't make sense to show them every time.)
Rather than popup up a seperate dialog every time it makes more sense
not to annoy hthe user but instead provide an "Options" button to take
them to the Import/Export preferences, in cases they wish to adjust the
settings.
