Beside exporting models from Export Panel you can export models from menu entry SCS Game Object(s) (.pim). It features the same behaviour as export panel with exception that all files will be exported in selected directory.
Note: Even if you can select different directory it still has to be inside current SCS Project Base Path otherwise it would be impossible to reconstruct relative texture paths.
