MultiExport tool proposition

[pixel]

Hi
Some time ago i proposed a tool to automate export.
Now i decided to simpify the idea using existing solution where possible.
So i wrote two scenarios below to explain how this tool could work.
I suppose here are many users who design icons. I think such tool could be very helpful for them but not only for them.
I realise there is a way to see exported-like bitmap on screen but such tool is much more functional.

Please threat this thread as a proposition of new functionality for Xara.
I hope now I explained my idea more readable.

Please comment what you think...

Here is a google docs poll

Here is the definition of new tool for Xara.
Proposed name is MultiExporter.

Problem:
Producing rendered icons is a common task. While designing an icon, designer needs to export icon almost everytime he change something on screen. Procedure of this export is more or less like this:
1. make changes on icon design
2. select object to export (it's probably proper sized rectangle on the layer beneath an icon)
3. press ctrl+shift+E or select the function from menu
4. put the name or select it from the list of files and click 'replace' if needed
5. probably set something on export window and press export button
6. if icon needs to be exported in many resolutions some additional steps need to be done for example set export size

So there are many steps to proceed exporting icon. If designer has many icons to render every step is going to be repeated for each icon and each time he decide to change something.

Imagine creating icons in few color schemes...

Grrrrrr

Solution:
MultiExporter tool.
I propose to put whole MultiExport GUI on new tab on Export window. It will be only a list of programmed exports, buttons such as 'Add to export' 'Remove', and text box for prefix/suffix (in the most simple version that's enough).

When icon is exported for the very first time designer needs to set name (as usual) then set all export params, additionally setting one extra param - prefix or suffix (which will become a name of this export set for example ... '_32x32') and then press 'Add to export' button.
All params will be stored under a name set as prefix/suffix.
Now user can set new set of export parameters like resolution, colors and so on - everything which is available on export window plus new prefix/suffix and then again 'Add to export' button can be clicked.
Once every exports are ready then user can press new shortcut-key or select function from menu and all programmed exports will be performed without questions. The only question module will ask is a file name.
Once filename is chosen exports are perfomed automatically using filename and prefix/suffix.
