Is there an easy way to automate export with overwrite functionality? (pdf/svg and so on). I'm thinking about functionality like the "Reload" where you are able to set a timer... "automatically reload every XX seconds".
Probably the only sensible option would be to use dbus. A dbus request could be sent every XX seconds to export the document. Dbus is pretty powerful - for instance you can update the data in documents from other programs using this. Dbus might only work on linux or unix, as I'm not sure what the state of support is on Windows or Mac. I can give some help if this sounds useful.
Unfortunately tools plugins can only do a set of operations once. Perhaps it would be useful to extend them to allow persistent calls.
The plugin interface could be used to hack into the main veusz code, but this wouldn't be easy.
