[Bf-gamedev] Annoucement: Better Collada Exporter for Blender!

[Michael Knubben]

Sam: is there a way to set a preset to always be default? Because I didn't
think so.

Either way, I think if you compare the outcome if people accidentally leave
'export selected' on is much less bad than when they accidentally leave it
off!
