Agreed , this should be fixed and would not be complicated to do.

The whole Export paradigm is only there to try to force users to do 
something someone else thinks they should be doing.

As long as there is an equally accessible and quick way to save just the 
way I opened a file that is not a major issue but personally I hate 
being lectured by software (in reality by developers who think they know 
better than I what I want/need to do).
