Is print-to-file really that unintuitive?

For some people, it appears to be, as they ask about "saving as text". A reply to at least one such message (which wasn't sent to the list, but the reply was) is at

I use it a fair lot (sometimes forcing expansion, sometimes not, sometimes
hex also, sometimes not) and it works quite nicely.

'course, I come to it as a developer..

Perhaps something like a "save as text..."

Or, as per my suggestion, "Save dissection as text", to make it clear that they're saving the results of the dissection, *not* the raw data.
