Good idea. I've not needed to do batch exports from within Inkscape so don't have a good idea of how this would be used. A few times I've needed to do a lot of svg2png conversion, but I used Inkscape from the commandline to do it.
So did I. Perhaps a GUI facility would be nice to have too,
I used to be terrified by the command line. Nowadays if a task is tedious enough I'll bit the bullet and try and script it but I am (in theory at least) a computer programmer.
I wouldn't expect an ordinary user, or the average artist to want to know about the command line.
I briefly thought about the problem but I haven't had the insight or time to come up with a good use case and describe what I think is needed for Alex, sorry. I suppose at a minimum users would want a GUI for exporting each layer as a seperate image without having to go through one at a time.
but shell scripts are pretty convenient. You just need to list the ids of the areas you want to export, as explained in the slicing tip I added here:
