As nobody seems to know, I went ahead and used my development knowledge to hack a JavaScript solution together. I posted this over on stack overflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16730091/programmatically-slicing-an-image-in-fireworks-and-exporting-on-whole-transparen/16730092#16730092

The Layers Panel has a menu item "Enter Isolation Mode".
Other than that, there is no direct way via the Layers Panel.

Unfortunately, you can't. It's all or nothing
However, nothing is stopping you from...
Duplicating the layer
Expanding the layer styles
Deleting the style layers you don't want
Keeping the style layers you do want
Turn off the particular live style aspect on the original layer.

I have a very simple method for this kind of work.
If your layers are aligned correctly in group, just convert this group to a smart object, open Smart Object and will have the pixel perfect margins.

I would use Bridge to make a PDF Contact Sheet:
To do this in Bridge, go to Window → Workspace → Output
You can specify the output size as well as the number of columns and rows. Whether or not it will be able to process a 20k x 10k pixel output remains to be seen I suppose, I've certainly never tried something of that magnitude.
Alright, so I just ...

The reason that behaviour takes place is that you have constructed your layer shapes in the wrong way or you copied and pasted from another program like Illustrator and something went wrong with the shapes in that process.
I opened your file and discovered you have paths on your shape layers that are useless, they just sit on top of your shapes (on the same ...

I think the tool you're looking for is the Trim tool. as Scott mentioned in his comment, you would go to Image >> Trim >> Transparent Pixels. This will give you an exact crop.
This answer may be of use to you as well.

instead of adding an adjustment layer, select the layer you want than go to IMAGE --> Adjustments --> Invert. This will invert only the selected layer.

One easy way is to set up two layer comps. One for export and one for presentation/designing. Then you can just toggle between them.
Another little trick is is to put everything that needs to be sliced/exported in a smart object. Open the smart object and do the slices within it. This way you can have multiple slice sets in one document and they won't ...

For me is quite a simple thing to click on the eye icon to hide it lol. IF I know I'm not gonna use it, I just hide it from the begining, and I use the rulers to measure the space. Anyways, this is maybe what you gotta look for, scripting in photoshop: LINK

For this process you should start with fully expanded artwork (no strokes), and all objects should have 100% opacity. If you're starting with a live trace, just make sure you've hit Expand.
Step 1: Merge Artwork
Select all the artwork you would like to separate and click the Merge button. This can be found in the Pathfinder panel. This brings all the ...

If you're working with an editable multi-layered .PSD document it is advisable that any imagery you would like to not have displayed for the final export is hidden within your 'layers' palette.
Hide each element 1 by 1, then export the slices. Should keep everything you want on 1 page.
Hope that helps!

I had to change the blend mode of the gradient style itself too, not only the layer blending mode.

Make a group, give it low opacity and continue by creating your shape layers inside that group.
I'd use the same method in older PS versions as well.
Here's a picture where all the shape layers have 100% opacity and they are inside a group with 38% opacity that affects all the layers in it.

You can create two layer comps (Window > Layer Comps).
Assign a shortcut to the next and previous comp items (Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts > Panel Menus > Layer Comps)
Then just use your assigned shortcuts to toggle between comps.

I would do similar to what Joonas said in comment.
Guide to bottom edge of one object (obj 1), guide to top and bottom of the next object (obj 2).
Draw a rectangular marquee from bottom edge of obj 1 to the top edge of obj 2 then drag the marquee so the top of the marquee is at the bottom edge of obj 2. Drag a guide down. Repeat.
Might need to switch ...

Zoom in until you see the Pixel Grid.
Choose Window > Measurement Log to open the Measurement Panel
Make certain View > Snap is checked and View > Snap To > Layer is checked
Grab the Ruler Tool (click and hold the Eyedropper Tool)
Click on the outer pixel f one layer and drag to the other layer. The preview line should snap to the pixels.
Click Record ...

I found out the answer by testing.
Blending with an empty adjustment layer is exactly the same as blending with itself duplication.
So the result of multiply is, colour of itself (0 to 255) * colour of itself (0 to 255) / 255.
Cheers :)

Just as a small update to the great @Lie Ryan's answer. There can be problems with layers which names contain special characters (like '/'), so save_all_layers function could be adjusted to handle this (based on this SO answer).
from os.path import join
import string
valid_chars = "-_.() %s%s" % (string.ascii_letters, string.digits)
def make_safe(s):
