It does not help: The exit conformation does not say anything explicitly about layers. It will thus confuse 
people not understanding the difference between export, save, and what layers are about, and people that do 
know the difference, already knew they were saving to png and it does not help. If they exported to jpg and 
forgot about their transparancy layer, they are no longer warned.
