Describe the Bug

Bug Description

The export of a single diagram in Gaphor does not take the filename given. This means that when a user attempts to export a diagram and specifies a filename, the exported file is not saved with the specified name.

Steps to Reproduce

To reproduce this issue, follow these steps:

  1. Open Gaphor and create a new diagram or open an existing one.
  2. Go to the "File" menu and select "Export" to export the diagram.
  3. In the export dialog, specify a filename for the exported diagram.
  4. Click "Export" to save the diagram.
  5. Check your filesystem to see that the diagram has been saved with a different filename.

Expected Behavior

The expected behavior is that the export of a single diagram should take the filename given by the user. If the user specifies a filename, the exported file should be saved with that name. Alternatively, if the user does not specify a filename, the export dialog should prompt them to select a folder where the exported file will be saved.
