> The dialog must provide the option to determine the export filter.
If the user doesn't select explicitly a filter (aka dropdown item other than *)
the default is taken (odt for Writer, ods for Calc etc.)

> The dialog has an "automatic file extension" option, which needs the exact
> filter.
See above; if the filename would be specified with a proper extension like
foo.doc the respective format could be used since we also show a confirmation
dialog in this case

> There exists the request, that a default name is provided, bug 58685.
The default file name would be inserted when the dialog opens. So it's not
related to the filter.

> The request here does not distinguish between LO dialog or operating system

I don't see a reason to make the internal dialog different from the system
(AFAIK it was introduced as a workaround for kde4)

My take was to implement the filter like in open dialogs.

> On Windows entering an expression with a * as wildcard in the file name

The filter is of course a convenience function.
