Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The Editor of ScreenToGif has a very intuitive layout, where the tabs are arranged in the logical order they are needed in the workflow.
However, there is an exception: The export function is provided in the first tab in the tab bar.
The user will expect this tab to be at the very end of the tab bar!

Moreover, this function is labeled as "save as".
This is confusing, because the app has two different types of files that can be saved (project and gif).
So which file is to be saved here??

Note that this confusion can arise in any software that has a project file that is distinct from the exported (rendered) output file:
(e.g. Audacity, Blender, DaVinci Resolve, KDEnlive, etc.)

Describe the solution you'd like

Shift the "Statistics" tab a little to the right (There should be a space between the other tabs and this tab).
Provide a new tab to render/export the gif. Place this tab as shown below.
