Screenshots of 7.1 Export Functionality

Exporting a graphic to a PNG file while controlling the resolution has now added a step from the ver 7.1

BACKGROUND:
In 7.1 when I exported a file I would tab through the options, leaving the dimensions "as is" and change the resolution to my preference.  This would then automatically change the dimension "visibly" in the dialogue box.

CURRENT ISSUE:
In ver 7.2 there is now a radial button for choosing "DIMENSIONS" or "RESOLUTION".

When changing on or the other, the "other" is grayed out - implying that there has been no change to that docuement characteristic.  Example:  Increaseing resolution will shrink the image dimensions.  HOWEVER, the change in dimension is not reflected in the dialogue box.  The change is only discovered when the user mouse clicks on the radial button to change the dimension.

VIOLATION OF UX-DESIGN --> EFFICIENCY:
As I experience it, this new feature is a violation of UX-Efficiency in that:

1)  The TAB feature skips over the radial button
2)  The Dimension or Resolution change is obfuscated to the user
3)  An extra step has been added to export when choosing to control Resolution AND Dimension.

True

Not true. Or rather not done at 100%. In fact the controls become disabled depending on what radio button is checked. And to make it perfectly clear we should also disable the unit dropdown.

By design, see bug 115464

Well I agree with initial poster (comment 0). The current design not being 'it'. Not saying the old design being OK either. 
See bug 144195 (with number of off-topic comments), and especially comment bug 144195 comment 10
