Please save user's choice of output format (i.e., .mscz, .mscx, .xml, .pdf, etc.) in the same way that last folder location is remembered when user runs Save As. Users who save frequently (for whatever reason) to a format other than default .mscz will love you for it.

This is now implemented in current releases.
I don't think it is a good idea to make it so easy to accidentally save to lossy formats such as MusicXML, PDF, LilyPond, etc. I do not see this behavior in other applications such as Microsoft Word, Inkscape, Finale
I would strongly prefer to revert this change.
I agree. I found myself saving in wav instead of mscz.

This one is closed ? What do we do for next release? we keep the current implementation?
Its not really closed. The implementation is in conflict with "Save as uses non-native dialog in Windows". Using native diaglogs this function is not reliable possible. There are other problems with the current implementation. I think i misused the user selectable "filter" in the dialog to decide, what format the user wants to save in. This user selected filter is not given back to the program in all circumstances. It works only reliable if you type in the file extension in addition to the file name.
A working solution would be to insert another menu level between "Save As" and the dialog to select the output format.
Werner I was actually suggesting to revert to the previous behavior where it doesn't remember the previous format choice. To avoid confusion I am closing this report and starting a new bug report here: http://musescore.org/en/node/2088
