Description of problem: In order to reach the file type selector from the "save as" menu, you first need to open the "Browse for other folders" dropdown. This is unintuitive and confusing - it took me a few minutes to find since I didn't think that options completely unrelated to "other folders" would be in that menu... Expected results: The "save as" menu has the file type selector directly available. (adding Seth to the CC list since this could use a UI designer opinion)
Yeah it sucks. I've a patch pending to make the OOo save/load dialogs more like the gimp-2.2 save/load dialog with a seperation of browse on suffix vs an additional list of actual file types to load/save as.
