Why don't you change this then if you think this behaviour is 'very
annoying' ?

This is not the annoying part. I can fix this quickly but want to hear what others say - and Richard said no.

Moreover LyX asks me after the first question if it should continue
asking. No matter what I click in this dialog, LyX asks me the same
again and again whenever I export a file as PDF.
Apparently, it is meant differently. What Enrico probably meant is
whether LyX should ask again for a different file during the same export
operation. As in bug #2762, where all EPS files were overwritten, asking
this for each one would become really really annoying.

There is room for improvement here, Enrico ?

(At least, don't ask this question if only 1 file is exported, like pdf).

Yes, if only one file is to be exported this question must be omitted.

(Even better, show a list of all files being overwritten with
checkboxes, and a (de)select all button).

Isn't this a bit too exaggerated? I mean if I'm exporting my thesis as plain latex I would get a list with 200 images.

This is extremely annoying!
Sorry to annoy you this much.

Nice that you always excuse. You must have done really bad things in the past and are now trying hard to fix everything ;-)
