  <title>GimpUi.gimpexport</title>
  <p>This function should be called by all save_plugins unless they are
able to save all image formats GIMP knows about. It takes care of
asking the user if she wishes to export the image to a format the
save_plugin can handle. It then performs the necessary conversions
(e.g. Flatten) on a copy of the image so that the image can be
saved without changing the original image.</p>  <p>The capabilities of the save_plugin are specified by combining
<link xref="GimpUi.ExportCapabilities"/> using a bitwise OR.</p>  <p>Make sure you have initialized GTK+ before you call this function
as it will most probably have to open a dialog.</p>
