Bugs

• Handle export in '.png' using temp files. Aborting export in '.png' coz broken file in the path mainly becoz '.png' files are created directly if no extension is provided (in case of extensions we use temp files)
• Connect selection changed signals properly
• spin button doesn't support * and ctrl + Z
• layer/object rename doesn't immediately show in export dialog
• layer export is missing checks which cause wrong export. (developer bug)
