--- Comment #4 from Heiko Tietze <[email protected]> --- We discussed the topic in the design meeting. Exporting a portion of text, for example, does not allow to save this selection as text. Save offers non-destructive (or less) formats but does not provide an option to save only the selected part. Some wisdom from bug 116703 comment 25: "The filters that can *both* import and export are listed under File->Save As. The filters that do not have import functionality (export-only) are listed under File->Export." See also bug 46527. The majority agreed with the request. My take: duplicate of bug 116703 or change this to "Allow to *save/as* selections". Another problem of exporting a selection is that the whole page is still exported. This is discussed in bug 40163 "When exporting a selection to PDF, output page size not limited to selection size". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
