Comment 7 for bug 171054

I agree totally with Tweenk. The latex example is exactly my situation.

Doing the interface change Tweenk suggests would have many benefical effects:
- Solve this bug
- Solve #168627
- Solve #170458 (isn't this bug a duplicate of #170458 ?)
- Allow a workaround for #171607
- Remember where to save when saving as pdf. (Work on a svg, save a copy as pdf, then save the file as svg, then when you want to save a copy again, the name by default is not the name of the pdf).
- Make working with pdf easier by not having to change the file type manually everytime you save (same use case as previous item)
- Allow Batch and partial exports into pdf and other vector formats. (This would be really really great).
- Maybe I'm forgetting some

All that for the price of a small choice box in the export dialog.

Does the code needed to use the other exporters than png on a selection exist ? Would it be hard to add ? I guess not, in the worst case, just copy the selection into a temporary svg and use the exporter on that.

To answer scislacs' question:
-What I mean by ugly pngs is not that they have a rendering problem. Rather, I mean that when I want to produce a pdf for example with latex, going through pngs for parts of the document is not satisfactory. Especially if I my drawing wouldn't run into things that need to be rasterized if they were put into a pdf. Btw, my point about the nag dialog was that it was a symptom of the problem, not its resolution.
