Summary0005613: Investigate why diagram file export fails while internal save renders bitmaps
Description

There is an inconsistency between two diagram-rendering paths:

  • Saving a project renders diagram bitmaps successfully (used for thumbnails / embedded preview).
  • Exporting a diagram to a file fails.

Both paths ultimately render the same diagram, so a working save proves the rendering pipeline is reachable. The export path must be diverging somewhere (different canvas, different target surface, missing parent, different DPI/scaling, output stream handling, ...).

Action:

  • Compare the two code paths side by side and identify where they diverge.
  • Establish whether the export failure is silent or raises; capture the failure mode.
  • Fix the export path so it produces the same bitmap as the save path (or document why it intentionally differs).

Diagram export is now limited to PNG, SVG, and HTML — the formats that round-trip cleanly through the rendering pipeline. The legacy BMP, monochrome BMP, JPG, and WMF export options have been removed.

Print preview save-image was simplified to PNG. Expression-tree image export was simplified to PNG and SVG. Table documentation continues to export to WMF for embedding in Word documents (its rendering path is separate from the diagram pipeline and is unaffected by this change).

Clipboard copy from the diagram designer, print preview, and expression tree still works.

Limited diagram export to PNG/SVG/HTML; BMP/JPG/WMF dispatch removed as dead code. Build verified clean.
