Talk:Save as vs export
Here is an alternative proposal for the export dialog: batch export has been replaced by "export a list of groups" and "export all groups matching a regexp".
It would also be nice to be able to save several export targets in order to be able to juggle between them without messing with the file dialog all the time.
The export window is made of two parts: the upper part looks like the current export dialog, with the addition of "export a list of groups" and "export all groups matching a regexp", and "custom" is replaced by "rectangle". The selected filename can be enriched with meta-characters to accomodate both batch export and incremental save.
The lower part is a list of re-usable export targets, which allow various one-click exports, such as "incremental save as svg", "page as pdf…". These can be created by the user: setup an export in the upper part, name it and save it as a target.
Here is an illustration:
