Prior to Inkscape 1.2, when using the "Export PNG Image" function, there was a drop-down menu at the bottom titled "Advanced" with the options "Use interlacing", "Bit depth", "Compression", "pHYs dpi", "Antialiasing". Were these options removed from Inkscape 1.2?
@TylerDurden, thank you for the quick reply. That suggestion does not return the granularity from previous versions, it only brings up additional output standards. From the wiki link provided: "... third-party Inkscape Python extensions can be added to extend the dialog's functionality even further". Developers of Inkscape removed a useful, non-buggy function, so that others could build extensions to put the function back in?
The advance options have just been moved. If you uncheck the 'hide export settings' checkbox in the export pane. Then an options window will popup each time you export a file.
If you recheck the 'hide export settings' checkbox, the options remain as you set them on the last export, but the window will no longer popup.
The Edit>Preferences>Input/Output>Show all outputs in the export dialogue. Is not related to that settings. It just allows addition formats to popup - as with 'save as' and these can be custom written for different formats.
Here is an example of that (actually for an import rather than export extension)

Maybe in the extended menu set in preferences: https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=Release_notes/1.2#Export

Oddly, the release notes refer to the options: https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/Release_notes/1.2#Export
But the optimized png is missing... and no indication it was removed from the release.
Maybe related to this: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/395
Might need to install optipng, but no mention in the release notes.

Thank you, inklinea!
@inklinea, hmm, so the function was not removed, it was moved to a popup. Strange change.
Thank you everyone for your help!
Agree... a settings/properties button would be more self evident.
