I selected both layers in item mode, then right click and used 'Export Selected Layers' - I selected FBX export and 'Just Layers' in the export options popup.
I ended up binding it to a key and it works great, thanks repete! That simple hot key saves me several seconds and several annoying clicks every time I need to export stuff. Fantastic!
EDIT : That almost sounds snarky, but I'm serious. Thank you. Stuff like this seriously adds up and every speed bump that can be removed is a win IMO.
If you want it to automatically open the file dialog with the file format set to fbx, you can add "fbx" to the end, like this:
scene.save export fbx
You can still use the dropdown and switch to other file formats if you'd like. I tend to mostly export fbx files, so I like for the dialog to automatically assume that's what I'm going to do.

You'd be better off just going File > Export As... and that should do what you want.
WHY they want to have 2 separate export paths is beyond me but whatever.
scene.save export
You set it once per session and your done.
And why do you have to set it every session?
Yeah, this exported all the meshes in my scene in *.fbx works like a flute. (i don't even need to select the layers)
-thanks Repete
It's the export as command. Just does the same as what you do with file/export as
Modo resets the export option to .lxo but your folder location will stay intact.

This is great, thank you! :]
