mesh export active layer only small error

[dddjef]

with 2.64.4 I meet an error:
when I enable the option "active layer" from "mesh export" panel, the mesh from a linked group will use the layer of the original scene to determine if it is visible or not, and not the scene layer from the render scene. Blender render shows it right. An exemple attached.

By the way, the option "active layer" should be enable by default, no? It seems logical that hidden objects that aren't rendered, are not exported too... (it was the reason for the very long export time for my scene)

Thanks!

Hello,
just to recall that this old issue still exist.
The Mesh Export > active layer option still doesn't export linked group (even if the linked group is on the right layer). It's annoying to choose between to export hidden layers and to use linked library (btw I don't get the point to export layers that will be hidden then the render start)...

thanks for testing Ehsan, but this was an old scene, a bit complicated.

I've made a simple one, with just a cube. You can check it if you want. It is still buggy here.

If you move all objects to layer 1, it will work. It seems to me the exporter works with layer from the original file (just_a_cube.blend) and not the layer of the rendering scene.

Re: mesh export active layer only small error

Sorry, doesn't work for me. I tried the extra object upadte, it doesn't change anything. This is done for proxy refreshing, not for simple group linking, no?
