Hi Crusoe, I think I get the idea and scripting something along those lines should be possible.

Still need a few details to be cleared up though -

Which one, everything or skip hidden objects?

This part is probably a bit difficult since there is not any kind of "filetype" picker set up, only things to get a full file name. So probably the script would have a fixed file type associated with it and you could edit the script to control the file type.

Into which folder would you want the files saved to?

Files don't normally just get created on the computer with a single simple isolated name, they need to go into a folder somewhere.

Or do you mean that the object names will include a full path with a folder name in it?
