Hi all,
processing sports the "Save selected features" algorithm. However if in processing's options you untick "Use only selected features" the algorithm outputs _all_ features of the input layer. Although I know that processing works only on selections when the option is ticked IMHO the current behaviour is not intuitive: if an algorithm in its name (and help) claims to do something with the selected features it should do that _all the time_.
Opinions?

Background: I opened a PR [1] yesterday for an algorithm that works on selected features all the time (won't make sense otherwise) and would like processing to be consistent in that respect.

regards

Bernhard
