Hello, bug triage...

I think this is difficult to fix because we don't have an easy to use method or function in Python that can extract a list of GDAL drivers that can write to a file.
Perhaps should we add a writableFileRasterFilters() to the QgsProviderRegistry class. Once done, it should be trivial to modify GDAL tools.

Unsure about this: in GRD files, which should be non-writable, are listed in the dropdown menu (BTW: listed twice, this is a separate issue)

when trying to save to GRD format the message (from GDAL) says:

"Golden Software ASCII Grid format", which is writable BUT does not have the GRD extension: http://www.gdal.org/formats_list.html
