Export Groups to Files in Folders

I’ve added a clause to show only one of the selected layerSets at a copy and leave the rest of the layers’ visibility unchanged … maybe it works for Your purpose:

// creates save for web-jpg-copies of mutually hidden layersets with dialog to select layersets and suffix;

// be advised: existing files of identical names will be overwritten without warnings;
