I am using inkscape to draw lots of small diagrams to include in my thesis. Is there some way I can export only a single group on my inkscape svg to a PDF? 

Currently I do this by right clicking on the group and memorizing the group id number. Then I go to "Save as" and select pdf, enter the filename and in the PDF export dialog I type in the group number to limit the export to only that element. 

Is there a way to make this easier? If I could somehow select a group and then export the currently selected thing, that would be *much* more convenient that memorizing 5 digit numbers every time I want to export something.
