I like it.  In fact, I'd prefer that the Action choices would also be
radio buttons.  I took forever to figure out that I could pick between
three formats -- I never noticed that there were choices at all, in
fact, until Charles pointed it out to me.

The basic advantage of a drop-down menu is that the programmer doesn't
need to know in advance how many items to expect -- e.g. a file-chooser.
In this case the number of choices is small and fixed, so radio buttons
would actually be more intuitive, I think.
