With target I associate the complete name.

AFAIK LyX does this check that before calling a copier. In fact I don't know what happens if the existing object is a file, and a directory is to be created, or vice versa. I guess that the operation will fail with some weird error if the users chooses to overwrite. >> Why not assume a common set of extensions for all html converters?
