Save as - add 'Selected Objects' and ' Active Collection'
When saving the file as 'Save as', I want to add 'Selected Objects' and 'Active Collection' inside the options.
I can create a new blender file and then use 'Append' to load and save the file to manage the files individually. But To library a very large amount of data individually in a scene, users need to create that number of blank file in Blender, load them into 'Append', save them, and then go back to the original scene.
Iterating over this is not a good workflow. I want to be able to save selected objects and object groups at once.
This will bring convenience to many people. Other export features have this option. But it doesn't work with the most basic blender options.
Thanks to the development team for creating a great blender.
I think this should be improved.

Please not just option but also right in
Filemenu.* @IIIFGIII * Good proposal
Upvoted ! I also propose an "Externalize object" menu option. This means the ability to push an object out of the current file and replace it with a linked version of that object. This will be pretty useful when you start a scene that becomes more complex than expected, so you can replace an object by its linked version.
* @pcsd24 * That's what I proposed in April: blender.community/c/rightclickselect/WTcbbc/

Depending on how someone set up the scene, and collections, this would be a good idea. Not sure if this will work with all the dependencies on a Object or Collection.
2023 still doesnt exist. strange. I totally understand why they dont want to clutter with a specific export selected to blend... but the reason for the export module to not have a blend option is just - eyerolling.
so procedure is. take a copy of the entire scene. delete all unwanted data (which is not prone to error at all, sarcasm) and then save and link back in.
And make enable selected object by default, please, it happens to me almost every 2 month, and as I work with photogrammetry, I just kill blender as exporting the hole scene takes hours !
