Export all objects as separate files

I'm working with 3D printing so I have to export dozens of objects from Blender in .stl format, but each of them have to be separate .stl file.

I know I can write an easy script for it, but it would be very beneficial if exporter operators had option to export each selected object as separate file, just a boolean under "Selected Only".

Would be especially useful for new collection exporters

4.2 has collection exporters, and you can export selection via script if needed. The FBX exporter also works via collections.

Agree. Some exporters like FBX do have a batch export option, though it only works on a collection basis if I remember. Ideally this could be made to work on objects, and be ported to any exporter that could make use of it.
