I am confused with the batch export under the Export
I have 40 images, and select them all and do batch export. Its exporting the 40 images, but where?
The location for each batch-exported file depends on export hints stored with the individual objects - possibly some of the individual objects had been experted before (individually) to different paths, and any later batch export then will resuse those paths (export hints) stored per object.
See also:
The first one, "Batch export n selected objects", is available if more than one object is selected. If checked, each of the selected objects will be exported into its own file. The name of the file will be the id name for the object (see XML Editor dialog) unless an object has been previously saved with a specific filename, in which case the previous filename will be used (the filename is stored under the export-filename attribute). The resolution will be 90 dpi unless previously saved with a different dpi. Note: Batch export will overwrite files without warning.
