The great screen capture, annotation and sharing service has all grownup, left the plasq stables and become its own fully fledged company.
For users this change will not affect you in any noticeable way - skitch.com is still the main home and some of the same people are working on it but you'll be seeing big things coming soon!
If you have not tried out Skitch yet - give it a go... You're missing out!

Just wondering if anything about the export process has changed? This problem still exists for me. I haven't yet seen an adequate explanation of why this happens.

I think I see what's happening. If I remove the .jpg that is automatically being appended to the filename/foldername, and the folder already exists, it moves me into that folder and still waits for a folder name, and still appends the .jpg on the end of it.
I guess what I'm used to is that if a folder exists, and the files within have the same names as the files to be written, then the application would prompt you to overwrite or not, not create another folder one level deeper. Basically if I want to save a couple new pages that weren't there on the previous export, I'd like them to be in the same folder where the other items were exported. But it looks like the only way is to just delete everything and re-export, or put them in a different place.

Well, crap the screenshot is too large and making it small enough would make it hard to read.
So I've uploaded it to an FTP of mine..
If I hit save as you see the image above, the "Jenny" folder and everything in it is deleted and nothing is exported. I have to export again, with the exact same settings and then everything exports.
And here's what that next export screen looks like (we're at the same folder level as before, as you can see at the top in the "Save In" field in both pics.

Ok, I'm attaching a screenshot, which shows an existing export folder. You'll notice that the name in the box has a .jpg extension, different from your screenshot, next to your yelow name box.
The jpg DPI is 150, and 100 percent quality.

Just so we have exact step that you are taking... a JPG file format at what dpi?? I just tried on my Windows Vista and still couldn't repro
"and the application asking for a filename when it really means a folder name."
It doesn't ask for a filename. It asks for a "Name" to "Save in:"
Please see above to see what happens. If your screen is different than above - could you please take some screenshots and either post them here or contact us using the contact form - http://plasq.com/contact/ - where we can send you an email address to send them too.
Also a video screencast - if you are able to do one of those - showing that it is overwriting the folder, by creating a simple document with "1" on it, exporting the folder, changing the number to "2" exporting to the same folder and then opening up the exported file in that first folder (it should say "2" if it overwites it) so we have something to send to the developer team.
Thanks for your patience.
