For export marked image components will be exported for every instance. - Bug?

[Wildcard49]

Hey There,

When marking a component for export, the components usually are going to be exported once. Only the master component will be exportet, not all eventual instances of it allthough they are all marked for export.
That's really handy because otherwise the assets export folder becomes just a mess.

Unfortunately images which are components and marked for export ar going to be exported in every instance.

So if I have a image component and use it 20 times over different artbords, currently I get 20 exported images if the instances are marked for export.

I am not sure if that is intended or a bug but it is really messing up the assets folder.

I'm on version 40. Component instances do not allow for the download of instances only the default state.

Have I missed a setting or can I only prototype with a component? must I always break the component into individual instances on a library artboard to allow developers to access exports? seems like a to of work/clicking fr both the designer and the engineer.
