Research direction

Start at the ExportSpriteSheet command and compare its available parameters with the Selected Frames option in the export as sprite sheet dialog. Trace how that dialog option is represented and confirm the command can expose equivalent behavior; done means scripts can request the selected frames export mode.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

It would be amazing to be able to access and use the the selected frames option which is usually in the export as sprite sheet dialog. There however does not seem to be a parameter in the command to use it.

Currently working on a custom sprite sheet building script that loops though each selected cels and positions them BUT it would be amazing to see this option added to the command if possible!

If there is any information to point me to where this option is in the source I would love to explore and try to help implement :D
