Bug Description
The Export dialog has a "hide all except selected" option. But it would be rather handy for me if the opposite option existed: hide *only* the selected object, and render everything else (in the bounding box of the selected object).
If I'm designing a dozen icons for a project, I probably have a row of ten grey squares with some graphics in each one. I need the squares as bounding boxes, so I can select each one and export "Selection". (The actual icons won't have uniform size, see.) But I want a transparent background, so I have to hide the grey square layer before I export. This is tedious.
If I could select each square and export with "hide selected object", I'd get the right output more easily.

(Er, ignore the way "a dozen" magically turned into "ten" in that sentence. :)
