One option that I often use when exporting GEDCOM files using FH7 is to select only a portion of the records in my project: see image.
I have not found the capability to select individuals in the Export GECOM File plugin. Have I missed that choice or is it not an option?

Re: Select individuals for Export GECOM File plugin?
Can I advise you to read the plugin Help & Advice page https://pluginstore.family-historian.co ... edcom-file:

I spend hours writing these Help pages but sometimes wonder if it is worthwhileIf a subset of Project data is needed, use some of the techniques below, then run the plugin on the resultant GEDCOM as explained in the Frequently Asked Questions.
- File > Import/Export > Export > GEDCOM File… to get a subset GEDCOM file
- File > Project Window > More Tasks… > Copy Project and File > Split Tree Helper…
- Tools > Plugins > Clean Living Persons to hide sensitive details

Okay. I was was hoping there was a way to avoid two exports of the same data for efficiency sake.
I will follow the advice in the plugin’s Frequently Asked Questions.
