exporting to GIF

In the current git version, exporting to GIF an image in RGB mode does not offer the opportunity to specify a way to change the mode to indexed. The conversion occurs silently. Should not at least a warning message pop up?

We can safely assume that our users knows the limitations of the GIF format.

And if we want to add a warning message, it shall not be in the form of an annoying popup.

Of course!

Certainly, but in what form? Giving a way to choose the palette in the

dialog that opens would be useful.
