Batch Export - Export layers - option to respect page boundaries

Summary:

I use Inkscape to create designs that I use to cut/engrave stuff with a laser engraver. For this, I create two layers. One for engraving. One for cutting. I currently manually generate

  • one SVG file for cutting
  • one png file for engraving

For this, I use the Single Image / Page export functionality with manually set parameters.

The Batch Export / Layers functionality would be easier/quicker to use. BUT... the layers are exported at a minimum size.

An option to export the layers at the page size would be perfect for my use case.
