Is there a way to apply the fx of the layer group to all layers? Then I could remove the group and export normally.
Or maybe make the export function resolve the grouped layers with their fx?

I can not find any easy way, Gimp 3 being very new is lacking all the old useful plugins.

The only way I can see is use new-from-visible with the layer group and a single layer visible to get a new layer with the fx applied. Then select and drag outside the group.
