Jupyterlab 4.4.10 - suggestion - make "Save and Export Notebook As" options less opaque

Running Jupyterlab 4.4.10 via miniconda

After more than a little digging I realise that to save the current notebook as a PY file I need to take the menu “File → Save and Export Notebook As
and then choose “Executable Script
That then saves the notebook as a PY file.

TBH that is not very obvious.

The documentation page is pretty good in fact - including the file extension against each of the menu options.

Suggestion: include those file extensions explicitly in the Options text of JupyterLab

Screenshots below from:

I wonder what Executable Script does for say R or Scala kernel.
