Ah, didn't know that.

Well, internally I might understand the use of a list of clips. But from
the users view it would be a bit strange to select multiple clips to
export them, I would rather set markers and choose start and stop marker
in the export dialog. Then there could be a checkbox for "split file at
markers" if you want to export the entire song but splitted to one file
for each CD-track, etc..
