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 -- Sebastien Vauban
