Bug Description

Can we please add the option to export each individual object without rendering other selected objects behind or infront of it.

Consider this scenario:
-You have created a character, that is made of different body parts. They are all assembled on the character (overlapping).
-You have created a bunch of sprites and a background behind them- you need to batch export both the sprites and the background - separately.

In both cases you will need to be able to tell inkscape to batch export all the selected objects or selected groups individually- without rendering stuff infront of them that is also selected or stuff behind them that is also selected or not selected! And also ignoring how the document canvas has been set.

Right now when you batch export with ticked "hide all except selected" it does what it says it will do, but it renders selected objects together - so if an arm is overlapping a body of the character and you want to both be separate graphics- you need disassemble to character before exporting the body parts, or inkscape will simply render an arm sprite with a body behind it and a body sprite with an arm infront of it.

In 99% of the time, I want inkscape to render an arm sprite with nothing behind it and a body sprite with nothing infront of it!

So add an extra tick box and call it "render individually" or something like that. Or change the way "Hide all except selected" works.
it is kind of semi useless at the moment. :)

AFAICT the request is the same, just described more verbosely based on this reporter's own preferred use case.
