Subject: Bug: exporting overwrites existing file [7.4]
Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2011 15:10:58 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <B8FD330D-90E6-44B1-927C-F7FB8D959B09@agfa.com> (raw)

Good afternoon all,

I may have made a stupid mistake, but this is what happened...

I had a file, cmm.tex, made by hand. I also have an org document,
cmm.org. Can you see it coming? I then wanted to see what the result
would be of exporting that org file as a latex file...  Bye bye original
tex file.

The question is: would it be possible to check for an existing file,
maybe check an org-generated header line or so, and warn/prompt idiots like
me if that tex file was not made by the org exporter?

Thanks,
Dummy User.
