Hello,
As many people, I think, I've also associated Org-mode to .txt files.
Now, with the new exporter, if I export `a.txt' as "plain text", it overwrites
(without notice, BTW) my source file `a.txt': it's lost.
Before, in such a case, the exporter noticed that I already had a file named
`a.txt', hence it named the exported file as `a.txt.txt', what I found to be a
good trade-off.
Shouldn't that behavior be put back in the ASCII exporter?
Best regards,
Seb

Indeed. Export should never overwrite original file, whatever the export
back-end is.
It should be fixed in master. Thank you for reporting this.

Even if I don't answer each such post, thanks to *you* for making those
changes, and so quickly.
Best regards,
