Another "restriction" is that this applies only to images that are exported "from scratch" (or from an XCF). If the image is marked "imported" in the title bar, Gimp will by default do the exports with the same type. For instance:
- I set the default export type to OpenRaster
- I open a PNG, it says "imported" in the title bar
- "File > Export As": extension is still PNG
- "File > Save": saved as XCF, title bar no longer says "imported"
- "File > Export As": extension is ORA
- Open PNG (title bar says "imported")
- Image > Duplicate (title bar says nothing)
- "File > Export As" on original : extension is still PNG
- "File > Export As" on duplicate : extension is ORA
