v7 on Linux (list depends on OS and build)

Draw
SaveAs: odg, otg, fodg
Export: x/html, pdf, svg, various raster formats

Impress
SaveAs: odp, otp, fodp, uop, various MSO Impress formats (pptx...)
Export: x/html, pdf, svg, various raster formats

Calc
SaveAs: ods,ots,fods,uos, various MSO Excel formats (xlsx...), dbf, html, slk,
csv
Export: x/html, pdf, xml, jpg, png

Writer
SaveAs: odt,ott,fodt,uot, various MSO Words formats (docx...), xml, html, rtf,
txt
Export: xhtml, pdf, epub, jpg, xml, png

Math
SaveAs: odf, mml
Export: - (only Export as PDF)

Option 0:
Keep as it is under the assumption (expert) users are familiar with the
organization.
Option 1:
We keep only the open document formats in Save/As and move everything else into
Export. This has been done for GIMP and it's very annoying (but clear to
understand).
Option 2:
SaveAs holds open document formats and MSO. Meaning html, dbf, slk, csv / rtf,
txt / mml get moved into Export. Somewhat confusing in case of Calc since CSV
is as important as Excel. Or in case of html when Writer is used as editor.
Option 3:
We drop Export and keep everything under SaveAs. IIRC the list of supported
file formats can become quite large.
Option 4:
Keep only "lossy" formats under Export. That applies to all raster graphic
formats- loading exported data does not allow editing. For Draw html, pdf and
svg would go to SaveAs, in case of Calc html and xml, etc. In the end, the
function is kind of "Export to Raster Graphic".
Option 5:
Different menu options with Save As > Open Document | Microsoft Office (another
menu entry for other office suites)| Markup Languages (html, xml, svg, mml,
csv) | Raster Graphics. Not sure where to put epub and PDF, maybe Markup, but
we could drop this format since we have a dedicated command.
