Something seriously wrong with exporting sections

[OddSox]

I created 4 sections within an hour long live recording and tried to export them as individual files. Not only did the process took about 20 mins for each 4 min long section but after each the exported file was deleted and another was created in its place. That is definitely not what you want.

It seems that the whole recording is rendered every time instead of a single section and no suffix is added to the name of the file. What a waste of time. Normally you would spend about 2 mins or less exporting a 4 min song.

 Also, when you export in mp3 you have to set MP3 options for each and every file. Why not do it once for all?

correction: it is not the whole recording being rendered. instead about 2 hours of silence was rendered after the actual section. that is why it was taking so long
