Hello all!
I noticed several changes in the recent snapshot (20040706) that make my work much slower.
1. The exported image name defaults to drawing.svg.png instead of drawing.png. What is this for? Generally, you'll want shorted and simpler names, just drawing.png. Currently I have to delete the .svg portion each time.
2. The behaviour of the export dialogue is inconvenient. One thing it should be able to do IMHO is to detect whether a selection is active and automatically set the export mode to selection.
3. Also, compared to a snapshot of 20040628, Inkscape forgot how to update the export x/y/size on the fly. For example, I have three drawings on a single canvas and I want them exported to drawing[123].png. Previously, I could fire up the export dialogue, and hit export three times while selecting different drawings and changing 1 to 2 and then 2 to 3 in the target file name. In the current snapshot, if I change a selection while the export dialogue is up, the selection range is not updated. So if I want to do what I explained, I have to select a drawing, then hit "selection", then adjust the file name and hit export. This adds one exrta action which makes you work longer. I think the export x/y range should update on the fly.
Just my 2 cents ;-)
