Comment 4 for bug 620568

<opinion>
Personally, I'm disappointed by the changes recently implemented based on this report:
1) Changing the default export behavior without further notice is bad IMHO (I'm likely not the only one who will have to check and redo recent exports because of this).
2) The change simply shifts the burden to all other users who happen to not share the same workflow as the reporter, and rely on the default export setting since this _optional_ feature had been added in 0.46 [1].
3) Existing and working features got disabled without convincing argument ("Hide all except selected" for fixed export sizes)
4) OTOH the only feature which never actually worked so far was left enabled ("Hide all except selected" combined with batch exporting a selection of objects).
