<p>
This function should be called by all save_plugins unless they are
able to save all image formats the GIMP knows about. It takes care
of asking the user if she wishes to export the image to a format the
save_plugin can handle. It then performs the necessary conversions
(e.g. Flatten) on a copy of the image so that the image can be saved
without changing the original image.
The capabilities of the save_plugin are specified by combining
<a href="libgimp-gimpexport.html#GimpExportCapabilities"><span class="type">GimpExportCapabilities</span></a> using a bitwise OR.
Make sure you have initialized GTK+ before you call this function
as it will most probably have to open a dialog.

<p>
Takes an image and a drawable to be saved together with a
description of the capabilities of the image_format. If the
type of image doesn't match the capabilities of the format
a dialog is opened that informs the user that the image has
to be exported and offers to do the necessary conversions.
</p>
<p>
If the user chooses to export the image, a copy is created.
This copy is then converted, the image_ID and drawable_ID
are changed to point to the new image and the procedure returns
GIMP_EXPORT_EXPORT. The save_plugin has to take care of deleting the
created image using <a href="libgimp-gimpimage.html#gimp-image-delete"><code class="function">gimp_image_delete()</code></a> when it has saved it.
</p>
<p>
If the user chooses to Ignore the export problem, the image_ID
and drawable_ID is not altered, GIMP_EXPORT_IGNORE is returned and
the save_plugin should try to save the original image. If the
user chooses Cancel, GIMP_EXPORT_CANCEL is returned and the
save_plugin should quit itself with status <span class="type">GIMP_PDB_CANCEL</span>.</p>
