Is there a way to have LyX overwrite on export?
Currently, when I export a pdf, 10-30 seconds later I get a modal window with the option warning me that I am about to overwrite. This window is usually buried, as I am not expecting it.
The -f --force-overwrite is only for command line usage, and I saw not other overwrite options in my googling.
Maybe if I change my export to include a rm to get rid of the pdf before it even starts? It seems to only check at the end, when it is making/exporting the pdf. That sounds a litte scary to me.

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.
And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p
Re: Overwrite on export?
Preferences -> Output -> General seems to solve this problem so that you can overwrite automatically on export.
