When exporting to SVG it would be helpful if there was a selection of layers to export.
E.g. when selecting only layer A in the SVG export dialog, only the objects located/displayed on layer A would be exported to SVG.

As an alternative or additional export feature, there could be an option to export each (non-empty) layer to a separate SVG in one step.
The layer names could be used as (part of the) default file names during the export.
E.g. Layer A of file XYZ would be exported to "XYZ_A.SVG" while layer B would be exported to "XYZ_B.SVG" etc.

Furthermore, it would be useful if I can select a variant (of layers, set by user) in the svg export popup, so I do not have to make the selection next time I do the export. Or just remember the last used selection until the program runs.

It would be good to have an option to only export visible layers.
