PDF, TXT, WTF?

InDesignFilter: 'Export' defaults randomly changing from PDF to TXT. WTF?
Very often as I save PDFs in InDesign, the default in the 'Export' dialogue box comes up as TXT rather than PDF. I've never saved anything as TXT, so am confused and frustrated by this. What gives? Can I fix this somehow?

Response by poster: I had never thought to check that. I will watch that from this point forward. You are a saint. Thank you.

Although I really think Export to PDF needs to be its own menu option, complete with keystroke. Few art the times we actually wish to export InDesign styled text to .txt.

Geez, this is a problem I've experienced as well, and I never would have figured that out. Thank you!
