Bug Description

Hi.

I wish to make a sequence of exported PNG files as I alter a drawing. Then I can put it together later as a film strip.

The problem that when exporting to PNG in Inkscape, I have to manually change the file names (filename_001.png --> filename_002.png --> . . . . and so fourth) in the export dialog box.
This is very very tedious when there is a need to export several houndred png pictures.

I suggest to add a feature that the following, all into the Export dialog box:

A check box that say "Increase number in file name" (or something apropriate). When this is enabled, a end number is added to every file name when exporting.

And when this is enabled, the Ctrl+Shift+E should make the image export directly (Export settings applies here) without the Export dialog box popping up.

The Export dialog box should still be possible to pop up by selecting it via the file meny.

Thanks
