Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When you select multiple excalidraw files in obsidian and right click, you can't export them all. You have to go one by one and manuanly click "Export Image"

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like to have a context menu button that opens a master export menu that exports all the selected excalidraw drawings (or the ones in a folder) to the desired settings.

Real-life usage scenarios

  1. When I have to submit my homework, instead of exporting them all one by one I could just select them all and export them to SVGs, then use a web to merge them all in a single PDF.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I think this is possible via scripting, but I dont have much knowledge on it.

I've found Luisc465's Excalidraw PDF Splitter but it doesn't work with .md files, they have to be exported to Excalidraw first, leading to the same conclusion, having to export them one by one.

2.8.0 will come with PDF export features including PDF splitting, so if your need is to split excalidraw drawings over multiple PDF pages you could already test 2.8.0-beta using Brat.

As for printing multiple pages, a very simple Templater script could do the job using Excalidraw Automate.
You could simply try prompting chatGPT to produce the code. Here's some help with that: https://excalidraw-obsidian.online/WIKI/07+Developer+Docs/Excalidraw+Automate+library+file+(not+only)+for+LLM+training
