Export selected by default (when meshes are selected)
It's easy to forget to check the "export selected" checkbox in the FBX export window, and then Blender exports the whole scene by default, which is actually hurtful when you're moving meshes between 3D packages and related software. Imported items usually overwrite existing items with the same name, sometimes making us lose work.
Moreover, when the scene includes highpoly meshes or just a high number of them, this mistake can delay the export process exponentially.

You can create hotkey shortcut or custom PIE (with PME addon) with settings.
* @IIIFGIII * I think it should be blender default beceause like, almost every person that export objet already exported entire scene and had to wait minutes just to wait (or force kill blender task beceause export is too long)
Duplicate of this proposal .
Yes! Made this mistake so many quite a few times.
