Original changes where made to bring the single item export into line with the multi-file export as per this issue: #932
However this has introduced more steps into doing a single item export. Probably where we went wrong was that issue was asking to be able to have the same export options for a single export as a batch, not forcing them to have the same.
From @cmeyer ...
The main feature I want is to be able to export and name my file. Doing that for a single data item is not an obvious experience and leaves the export dialog in a weird state: uncheck all of the boxes, and enter your filename in the "prefix".
I propose three menu items (for now):
Export Item... (works on a single item, uses title of item, displays error message if fails)
Export Items... (works on multiple items, uses dialog for naming, displays log of success/failures [always])
Export SVG... (unchanged, for now)
2nd item could also be "Batch Export..."
Is it perfect? Probably not. Does it accomplish what we want? Probably. Let's do it and move on.
