Create bitmap copy does correspond to the command Edit/Make bitmap copy which places a bitmap copy on top of the selected object in the document.

Copy to the Clipboard allows to share the bitmap copy with other programs too.

The "Flatten transparency" option creates a bitmap with an opaque background (which inherits the background color) like does the save png option.

My idea is to unify the settings and the capabilities between the three options (Create bitmap copy, Copy to Clipboard, Export bitmap) for more consistency. On the other hand my proposal adds some features I miss at the moment :

    - You cannot export a bitmap with opaque background (you must go through Save png for that)

    - Edit/Make a bitmap copy cannot create a copy with an opaque background

    - Edit/Make a bitmap copy cannot copy the other objects parts shown inside the selected object bounding box

That's way better.

Just one question: what's the difference between a bitmap copy and the export?
Is one the current "Export bitmap" and the other the code path you use when
using PNG in the save dialog? The latter never worked for me (because of
missing transparency) so i'm not sure what the differences really are, but
maybe they can be merged in a way that the user decides what he wants to have
(like "get rid of the transparent bg") and not if he wants to use cairo to
create the image or some other way.
