Hi,

I think that functionality that works on selections and not on the whole layer should always be optional, and not the default.

And yes - consistency would be nice ;-)

Thanks,
Andreas

Hi,
Irrespective of which is the way to do it (I lean toward checking it when 
there's a selection), I'd suggest that the behaviour should be consistent. So 
either this default be changed, or the field calculator one be, otherwise you 
end up with confused users.

Cheers,
Jonathan

All the best.
Seems like a UX question ;-)
I'm with Jürgen, it's very likely to confuse users because they don't
realize that the had a selection and then they find that features are
missing in the export.
But I don't have a opinion on it - there's probably no save default for it.  In 
that way having the two menu entries might have been better.
