very few file type export options

How do I choose a file tyle extension?  The + sign to the left of "Select File Type" seems to do nothing.  

When I click the "All export images" button I get very few options:



Then when I click the Export button usually nothing happens (whether or not I leave the extension unchanged in the Name field; in other words if I manually change it to PDF from the pre-loaded PNG extension); occasionally I do get the next window to confirm export options.

Ack!  I hope this is fixable, or I'll need to downgrade to an older version.

Go to Edit>Preferences>Plug-ins. There should be two directories listed, one in your user files (normally under  C:\users\{your_id}\...), and one in the Gimp installation tree (C:\Program files\GIMP 2\...). If you navigate to the latter it should be full of files named file-{filetype}.exe or file-{filetype}-load.exe and file-{filetype}-save.exe. If you don't find anything there, you are likely also missing many filters...

If they are missing, this may be a glitch due to a bad installation (possibly installing standard 2.10 over "alternate" 2.8 or vice-versa").
