Export save dialog

A List user reported he couldn't find how to proceed after entering a file name to 'save as' as the 'next' button was greyed out. (https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2018-October/080148.html)

He later reported back he found the 'OK' button to the left.

There seems to be some room for improvement.

Shouldn't the 'OK' button be to the right of 'next'? (and remained greyed out until all required info is selected/specified)

I'm also not sure 'OK' is the best choice. Since this is a 'save/export' operation, perhaps either 'Save' or 'Export' would be more obvious and descriptive label choices for that button.

I've attached the screenshot he included in the list message.

Have created a fix in PR 424 which may be acceptable. What I have done is move the OK button to the assistant action area and hidden the next button on the file page. I still think OK is appropriate as the it is still part of the assistant flow and marks the completion of the file selection.

I have changed the PR to remove the OK button after comments on the PR. Also on the PR have updated three other CSV assistants with the same change.

Thanks Bob! I can confirm the dialogs are much cleaner to navigate now.
