Many thanks for the reply. The extension in the name field on the Export As page obstinately remains the same as the original, no matter what I set as the default in Preferences/Image Import & Export.
I submitted a GIMP Merge Request sometime ago to add an option to always offer the default file type (extension) in the same section where you set the default. This would be useful if you were, for example, reading tif files but exporting jpegs. Currently this MR is scheduled for 2.99.12 (but it was previously scheduled for 2.99.10 and was bumped)
(As has been noted the current behaviour is as intended - the default extension is basically only used if a new file has been created or you opened an xcf file. Before I submitted a successful change to get this behaviour it always offer png)
