This question is a two-parter
i work primarily in CMYK but when I need to send through whatsapp or email a proof, I need to change to RGB so it can be read correctly
I have a few options that i employ.
1. snipping tool screen shot - quick and dirty. not so clear
2. export for web - slow and sometimes crashes if size is too big.
3. export - fast, options can't be selected unless it shows a dialog box as export for web.
now when I export for web the settings save. But when I export the settings never save and the color defaults to document color mode. i want to either a) save settings of export or set as default however the case may be or b) find a shortcut for changing the document color-mode to RGB/CMYK instead of changing it in layout options/general.

As an option using standard capabilities within CorelDRAW, you could try saving one or more "presets" to be able to quickly recall your preferred settings for a given type of export:
For PNG export, the preset seems to be "sticky"; when I come back later and do the same type of export, the preset that I used before is loaded. For JPG export, it seems that I have to select the preset each time.
I believe that the idea was to preserve the same primary color mode of the document on the JPG export dialog, while you can use the Soft Proof docker for export an RGB proof. Although it revert to default when you restart the program, it maintain the selected settings for several documents while the program is open.
btw, using a macro is simple, fast and easy, I added a shortcut then it takes just an instant, and also allows to export several pages at once, numbered export, etc

I am familiar with the advantages of using macros.
I am also familiar with using shortcuts in the CorelDRAW UI.
This is what the UI looks like for a macro that I wrote for quick export of PNG and JPG files:
.
If I have multiple assets in one document that I want to export individually as bitmaps, I only have to launch the macro once. I can then select, export, select, export, select, export...
I'm also aware of the macro that you referred to earlier in this thread; one of many excellent contributions from wOxxOm.
Eskimo, this interface is great! I always said that CorelDRAW should have a "basic" alternate dialogs, available as option for who don't want to use other features. For example, the preview for Export JPG is almost useless for me, but there's no way to disable on the Export dialog.
The Corel default has an odd workflow:
That's why I use macros for exporting. :-)
