Bug Description
The "only-visible" check box does not seem to change anything in pcb. This affects the PNG and EPS export. The bug shows in current git head and in version 20110918. To reproduce:
1) Open a layout
2) Zoom in to show only part of the layout on screen
3) File -> Export_Layout -> png
4) check the only-visible check box
5) click OK
The resulting PNG file shows the whole layout rather than the clip defined by the current view.

The exporters do not have any way to tell what the "current view" is. What "only-visible" means is to limit the bounds of the PNG to the items that are currently "visible" (i.e. enabled layers/ pins/vias/ rats) on the board, not on the screen. I.e. it does the equivalent of "autocrop" would in a paint program.
