On maint selecting "export to PDF" provides the user dialog with a pre-populated filename to export to consisting of the report name and the current date. On master the same action takes me to the standard print menu where I select from printer or pdf and have to fill in the filename manually.

Mike,

It’s because WebKit2 doesn’t expose the necessary API to do it separately. They expose the functionality from the print dialog instead. We need to remove the export to PDF actions and document that users should use “print” instead.
