Description

Worked: (2.76 Hash: f337fea)

Short description of error
When exporting an STL from 2.77 all objects in the scene are exported, not just the selected objects. -This is bad. :(
When exporting an STL from 2.76 only the selected objects are exported. -This is good! :)

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Open new blend file in 2.77, make different objects, select one of them, export it as an STL. All objects are exported.

Open new blend file in 2.76, make different objects, select one of them, export it as an STL. Only selected objects are exported.

Below I have attached a .blend that can show this error. I have also attached the two different STL's that it exported.

The file that I have uploaded doesn't seem to have uploaded correctly.
The bug is very easy to reproduce by trying to export a cube from a scene that contains a sphere and a cube.
Both will be exported, instead of just the cube.

@Julius Burton (Julius_Burton): 2.77 added "batch export" as a feature and also made the exporter more in line with other blender exporters (fbx etc.).
As a consequence there is a also new option called "Selection Only" which will let you do what you want...

Where is this "Selection Only" option and how do I use it?

Found the answer on another website. There is an opt in radio button the left side of the screen where you input the name.
