System Information
Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.18362-SP0 64 Bits
Graphics card: GeForce GTX 980/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 432.00

Blender Version
Broken: version: 2.82 (sub 6), branch: master, commit date: 2019-12-18 22:47, hash: da6929488a
Worked: never I think

Short description of error
If you export an fbx/gltf - the active material output node and the current renderer are ignored. Which makes it impossible to control.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
This bugreport is somehow related to #72599

In the first bugreport I describe the visual problem. But another problem is, when working with baking you mostly want to export your baked scene to a game engine,etc. but it seems impossible to control which material output node blender is using for the export.

If I select the Cycles material output node it doesn't use it
If I switch to Cycles engine, it also takes the Eevee output
very seldom and randomly I noticed that it took the other one

To make it usable, it should use the assigned render engine. Maybe it would also be a good option, to have a checkbox on material output node: "use for export"

I can agree that this feature is necessary. However, that is definitely a feature request and not a bug. Please make a proposal on an appropriate site. This might need more design work because there might be other solutions than a Use for Export option. Maybe this should also be a feature of the exporters themselves and not of Blender.
