Thanking you,
Ian
I will look at submitting an MR to get this file type included in the master version (hopefully someone will then backport it to V2.10)
RE: Set Default Export Format - Naemoor - 09-26-2023
Thank you. I will upgrade in case v2.10 is not retrospectively upgraded.

Unfortunately if I try to hack the gimprc file to set the type to ico instead of one of the configurable types the whole config file is ignored. So I guess it"s a no.

Bear in mind the following. Firstly GIMP V2.99.x is a development version and not recommended for 'serious' use. Secondly I will have to make the changes and submit a merge request. Thirdly the MR will have to be approved and merged by the developers and this can take time - my MR that allows the user to temporarily fix the default export type has been awaiting merging for a over a year now and keeps getting bumped from one milestone to the next as each development release comes out :-(

I guess the developers are happy for users to be hacked off by having to set the export file each time or to have to edit the exe file!
I realise that it won't help you if you are still using GIMP 2.8.x but the patch has been included in GIMP 2.10.10
"Edit/Preferences/Image Import & Export/Export File Type" allows you to set the default.
Thank you so much programmer_ceds!!
You've just fixed one of my minor irritations....I've made the change....
