No, they do not. I explicitly check that the switch is only obeyed when operating in batch mode. It is easy to make it work also in GUI mode, but I think that it is wrong. The correct way for GUI mode would be a RC setting allowing to silently overwrite all files or the main file only. For example, a combo named "Overwrite files on export" in Preferences->Output->General could offer the three choices "Ask", "Main File Only", and "All Files". Then it is easy to use the infrastructure that is already in place to achieve the goal. -- Enrico
