Just Do It! — Long Export Process Halted to Query Continuation

[Daniel Kian Mc Kiernan]

Is there a way of telling LyX to continue an export process without 
pausing to query me as to whether I wish it to continue?

Occasionally, I want to convert a paper to OpenDocument format.  The 
process takes rather a long time.  I'd like to go away from it, so 
that I can be productive in some other way.  But LyX repeatedly posts 
a dialog that cries ‘The command / mk4ht oolatex "<filename>.tex" / 
has not yet completed. / / Do you want to stop it?’ So that I'm forced 
to babysit it.

On the one hand, I quite understand why a query is made.  On the other 
hand, I don't understand why a “Just Do It!” option or a user-set 
timer doesn't seem available, as there are various ways within most or 
all OSs to terminate processes.

(Obviously, if all else fails then I can punt to the command line to 
run oolatex.)
