Suggestion for the export module
I don't know if it's nice or not to have all images of the catalog affected by the export module settings.
I mean, maybe it's not everyone cup of tea, but i'd like better to see only selected pictures being affected by such settings. I particularly refer to the watermark, seeing the watermark appearing on all pictures is somewhat disturbing, i'd prefer to focus only on the pictures i'm preparing to export. I guess this may lead also to better performances when switching the export recipe also.
Maybe a preference setting that lets the user choose the behaviour?
More on the watermark section: I noticed that the watermark changes size (i refer to watermark as a picture) if i change export dimensions: an high resolution export for printing and a low resolution export for the web needs watermark adjustments, sometimes with a bit of trial and error to find the new watermark size and offset to match the other export. And sometimes to keep the watermark consistent with previous exports i need to work with a resampled one because the size cannot be constrained to that limit.
It would be really cool to introduce relative sizes and offsets, maybe in percentage of the output picture size. This would save a lot of struggling on sliders.

You can set up process recipes to include or not include a watermark. So for instance it is easy to set up two identical recipes (perhaps to create a JPG at 1500 px longest edge) except that one of them applies a watermark and one doesn't.

Yes i did notice that.
I noticed also that C1 takes several seconds to switch from a recipe to another (about 4-6 seconds) and i was guessing that applying the selected recipe to all pictures could be the bottleneck. Maybe i'm wrong.
Anyway, this is not too much annoying. Whan i find annoying is the need to resize the watermark each time i change the resolution. Yes i can define several recipes one for each resolution with the correct watermark set in size and offset, but this doesn't work if i have a recipe that resizes the picture at 50%. By keeping fixed the camera used to shot the pictures, if i apply a crop i get differently sized (proportionally) watermarks.
Nothing i cannot live with, but just to suggest an improvement.
