Excellent excellent work. You are on fire with the bug reporting today.

We have been intending to replace this dialog for a long time, but it hasn't been done yet because it would be a bit of work to make is really simple and just as flexible. This dialog was designed from a really high level, without a whole lot of attention to detail. It was designed for flexibility, and now serves as a very good example of a much too general solution.

The original idea was to allow extension developers and users to easily extend this dialog. In its current form with two types of extension actions (one which is rarely used) it is pretty useless. If someone can propose some ideas for how to streamline this dialog for the use case of simply exporting to mp3/ogg/flac/wav and still have the flexibility for extra actions this would be great. If not, I vote we just scrap it and put in a Save As dialog with an extra combobox to select format type. Comments?
