Bug Description
I attempted to export a bitmap of only the object that I had selected so I went to Export Bitmap, clicked the "Selection" button, then exported. This actually just exports the region your selection is in, including objects other than the selected ones, which wasn't what I was expecting. It turns out, there's a checkbox "Hide all except selected" that when checked makes exporting the selection work as expected. At first I was going to suggest making this checkbox checked by default, but then I realized that "Hide all except selected" is visible for Page, Drawing, and Custom as well.
My request is this: Make the "Hide all except selected" checkbox visible only when exporting the selection, and checked by default. This will make the exporting the selection work as expected without having to do any configuration.

I don't support having it hidden, setting it to be 'insensitive' is better as otherwise a user may not found out it even exists.
