At the moment, I have the feeling that there is no solution to the actual problem (avoiding duplicate :file names) without doctoring in an unsatisfying (and potentially fragile?) way.
I would therefore formulate a feature request: It is a common error to accidentally use the same :file name and to have consequently the wrong file in the exported file. I would therefore suggest a property with the following possible values: ,---- | file_unique | | - false :: the actual behaviour, i.e. consequtive :file overwrite the | original ones *without* warning | - true :: if more then one :file exist, an consecutive number is automatically | to the :file and cached to avoid having leftover files (as in temp files) | - warn :: give a warning on export, so that this error can be fixed | manually. `---- I would see this as a valuable addition to the export feature as it avoids errors.
